I have always been a lover of animals and their well-being. In my career professionally, I have constantly been around sick or dying animals and I am looking to start a new chapter in my life to take care of healthy, fun loving animals. I am confident in my ability to handle animals as well as lead them, give them care in healthy, positive ways. I am a pet owner of 2 rescued cats. Have had dogs all my life. I can run or walk your dog, gear a workout towards your dogs athletic ability. I understand what it takes to take care of animals in the best possible way. What I strive to provide, is a service that brings you peace of mind knowing that your animals are in the care of a trained, compassionate and trustworthy professional that will treat your pet as their own. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are safe and well cared for.
Reviews
I am so thankful for Valerie. I recently started a new job and did not want to leave my dog Kami alone with no company for 9-10 hours. Valerie was very understanding and patient as I had multiple changes to my schedule during my orientation period. I would recommend her to everyone ❤️
Thanks for dropping in and taking care of our dogs. It's nice to have someone as dependable as you are to trust with our pets. Will use again.

About Valerie P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When taking on a new client, I always require to schedule no more than a 30 min meet and greet prior to any booking. It gives us a chance to meet, and introduces me to your pet, as well as answer any questions you may have.
Information Valerie P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there are any medical conditions I should be aware of past or present. If so, what medication is your pet on, and how often does it need to be given. Does your pet have any kind of allergy whether it be food or environmental. Is your pet current on vaccines, are there certain types of toys they are not/allowed to have. I would also like to know if they are potty trained so I know what to expect. Also, if they are crate trained, if they are cage aggressive, food aggressive or other animal/people aggressive behaviors. If they have any kind of special diet or restrictions to provide me with the required food. Is your pet used to walking on a leash/harness before?
A typical day
If your pet was to stay with me, I have a 1/3 acre property with plenty of room to run and play. I also live in a safe and quiet neighbor with minimal traffic so that walking is safe. I also happen to live near a large park to play as I prefer not to take dogs to dog parks.
