Experienced dog owner and trainer
Pet care experience
I grew up around dogs and learned how to train them through 4-H as a child. I have owned small, medium, large, and even giant breeds over the years. I have experience with senior dogs (blindness, arthritis, medications, etc.) and also with puppies (fostering for the Humane Society). I have taught classes on puppy care and training for children. My current companions are rescue dogs, a golden retriever/labrador mix, a boxer/beagle mix, and a Newfoundland/labrador mix. I also have two inside cats. I can administer medications, trim nails, and work on training specific commands during my visits. I am available for drop-in visits and walks. I would love to provide compassionate, consistent care for your dogs!
Reviews
experienced dog walker, my dog warmed up to her quickly, would hire again!
I’m so happy I found Valerie on Rover! I’ve used her twice to take care of my cat. She communicates the status of my cat at every visit which sets my mind at ease.
I am so thankful I found Valerie to take care of my fur baby. I appreciated all updates she gave me throughout the week. Tiger was in good hands with Valerie. I would absolutely use her next time!
Valerie was great with our dog. She was always on time and took great care of him. We will definitely use Valerie in the future.
