Hi! I just moved to Amsterdam from Costa Rica and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I come from a family that owned eight dogs while living in the city, so I used to spend a lot of time on walks and cuddles. I was also the go-to pet sitter for my friends, taking care of over 15 dogs of different sizes, needs and personalities.
I have to admit that larger dogs are my favorite! And I have experience with anxious dogs, and dogs that might have a history of being reactive, handling them with patience and positive reinforcement. Leash-pullers or puppies needing some extra attention are also more than welcome.
I work from home in De Pijp and I have a super flexible schedule, with the dog park a couple of blocks away. Feel free to contact me for 30-45 min walks or at home visits any time. I also have some experience handling cat cuddles, food and cleaning needs. :)
I am fluent in English, Spanish, and learning some Dutch. Thank you for considering my services!
Valeria took excellent care of our cat Cujo. She's reliable, communicative, responsible, and kind. We're looking forward to working with her again!
I engaged Valeria to take care (ie visit, walk) my fur-bebe Leon and she was amazing! She was easy to talk to and give me updates /pics of Leon while I was away. These updates alleviates my anxiety on leaving him for short period of time. Thank you, Valeria!
