About Valerie
ABOUT ME 👧
Hi! My name's Valerie and I'm a passionate dog enthusiast who enjoys spending hours dog-watching and goes "Look, it's a dog! Awww!" at literally every dog I see.
I am originally from Ukraine 💛💙, and became a Sydneysider 4 months ago. I love high-altitude trekking, beer brewing, portrait photography, and animals (even spiders!).

MY EXPERIENCE🐶
I spent 7 years in Hanoi before moving to Sydney, and I sometimes just couldn't wait for my best friends there to leave on a road trip because it meant I got to spend time with their rescue pups. My other best friend who lives in Ukraine has adopted a beautiful dog and I fell in love with him before even meeting him last summer (it was mostly him, not my friend, who I wanted to talk to on our video calls). He turned out to be a reactive doggo but it took him only 2 weeks before he started sleeping in my bed with me :-D

CARE 👐
I work from home part-time and try to unwind from the chaotic and beautiful Vietnam in parks and on endless Sydney beaches.

I offer walks (30-60 mins) and home visits (30-60mins), overnights (I look after the pet at their place overnight - dinner through breakfast), and daycare (I look after the pet at their place during the day).

I live right next to Rushcutters Bay Park (10 mins walk) - a perfect place for dog walking and playdates. If you live in Darlinghurst, Potts Point, East Sydney, Surry Hills, Redfern, Paddington, Woolloomooloo, or Centennial Park area, and you're looking to give your doggo the exercise, cuddles, and attention they deserve, let's connect!

I cannot speak highly enough of Val's exceptional care for my (or already her😏) beloved, but extremely reactive doggo, Korn. Val's genuine adoration for Korn, despite his occasionally challenging behavior, has been nothing short of remarkable🥰. Her patience and understanding have made all the difference in ensuring Korn feels safe and loved in her care. I frankly recommend Val to anyone seeking a compassionate, reliable, and skilled dog sitter and walker. Her passion for animals, coupled with her exceptional service and communication, make her invaluable to any pet parent🐱🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐶💞.

I can’t recommend Valerie enough as a pet sitter/walker. She’s super friendly and absolutely adores dogs—I know my dog absolutely loves walking with her. Valerie also gives a walk update after she’s taken your pups out!
