Dogs love me! I love Dogs!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my life for 40 years. I’ve been an owner, a dog sitter and a dog walker. I was a postie for 30 years. Never did I have a problem with a dog. Even the aggressive ones learned to love me.

Val is simply the best dog minder we have ever had! Shayna left happy and obviously well cared for! We got daily photos, and even a video! We feel so confident to have Shayna stay there!

A long planned weekend way in June fell apart for us when our friends who often sit our 2 Wirehaired Pointers had something come up 3 days before we were due to leave. Needless to say it was a huge strtech for us to hire a complete stranger to come live in our house and take care of our 2 dogs but, after our meet and greet, we both felt very comfortable. Val was awesome! She kept in touch while we were away,the house was spotless and our 2 pups happy and healthy when we returned. We would highly reccomend Val.

Val was amazing, she went absolutely above and beyond! We have two dogs and a cat that she cared for in our home for over 10 days. The dogs went on daily romps and outings and the cat warmed to her right away and got plenty of loves. She provided daily updates and photos of their exploits, which we really appreciated. Val even went so far as to fill our empty bird feeders. We came home to 3 happy fur babies and a spotless home. I would highly recommend her services and will definitelycall on her again when the need arises.
