Safety, trust & environment

Making sure your pet feels comfortable is my top priority! I take the health and safety of the pet in my care very seriously. Ensuring that they receive their regular feedings times, potty breaks, medications, walks, play-time etc.! Aside from usual clean-ups (accidents/messes), I also do my best to tidy up as I go.

Information Val C. would like to know about your pet

Knowing about any behavior quirks or command words would be helpful! Additionally if there are any specifics to know about before walks (preferences towards animals or humans, roads, length, etc).

A typical day

I love spending quality time with animals! Enrichment activities like lick mats and puzzle toys are always a hit. I also enjoy throwing tennis balls and frisbees, or walking a trail by the lake. Of course, just hanging out and lots of pets is also an option too. I have plenty of flexibility to find activities that suit your pet best!

Pet care experience

Need someone that loves your dog like you do? I can help! :) I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I bring a calm and understanding care to every fur friend I look after. I currently dog walk a sweet 5 year old Boxer-mix weekly, but I’m excited to add more animals to my schedule. I build a bond with the pets in my care and am always looking for ways to personalize my approach to best fit their needs! -I also volunteer weekly as an animal care assistant at the Animal Humane Society!

Val was great with my very skeptical and nervous dog! She had excellent communication and took great care of my dog and place. I’d absolutely have her sit again in my home!

Val is incredibly responsible and a good communicator! So thankful we found her—her flexible schedule and experience with dogs who are high energy/anxious was so great!

Val took really good care of our pups and was great with communication. She was able to deal with an unexpected storm and power outage and kept our dogs kept our dogs calm and secure.

Val was very communicative while we were away. She sent us daily updates and lots of pictures of our little guy. She also left the house tidy as though she hadn’t been here. Would hire her again if the need arises.
