Loves to play with all animals!
Pet care experience
I have had a huge passion for animals my entire life! I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer, veterinary technician and volunteer/foster for the county shelter. I am also currently trained in pet cpr. From my experience at my job, I have become very comfortable handling all breeds with any type of temperament. Additionally, I am very confident with taking care of senior dogs and/or giving them their medications. I have a strong medical background and keen sense for detail. With my knowledge in dog behavior, I would be able to keep a relaxed and comfortable environment for your pup! Your fur baby is welcome in my home or I can house sit for you and am willing to spend the night, if requested. I am very responsible, trustworthy and love sending updates of your pets! I am very active and would love your pet's company on some morning walks/runs, or we can just hang out in the house, if that's what they prefer. I do have a pup of my own and my roommate has a boxer mix. They both LOVE other dogs! I usually do not work longer than 6 hours when I am pet sitting; your pet is my first priority when I'm off the clock. I have attended a dog body language, and a reactive dog seminar and am constantly expanding my knowledge about dogs and cats. I would love to learn anything about your animal and I can accommodate my energy to theirs!
Reviews
Val house set for our pups Gracie and Beau. She did such a great job and the pups loved here! Would 10/10 recommend her!
Quick response time! We love the pictures at checkins! Val is great!
Val have several updates throughout the time that she was keeping my boys. She sent several pictures, including pictures showing them cuddled up with her, which means that they felt comfortable around her. I can tell by the way that they are acting today, that they enjoyed having her come stay with them a million times more than when I have boarded them in the past. So happy to be able to leave them at home, with someone who obviously took great care of them while I was gone. It allowed me to actually be able to enjoy my trip away from them.
Thanks again Val for watching the kitties!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat pets like my own. However I may be a little more cautious. I will not let them off leash but would love to be active with them and make sure they are tired and happy to see you when you get back!
Information Val H. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed restrictions or preferences. A few things that I would like to know beforehand are just the basics such as how much and when they eat, where they sleep, vet information and if/where I can take them for a walk.
A typical day
I love going on long walks or even runs if you’re dog can handle it. I’m a huge fan of mental stimulation and love playing games to mentally and physically stimulate your pup or even cat!
Services
Val can watch in your home
Availability
My shifts are normally 7a-6p with an hour lunch break. I only petsit within a few miles of my job, giving me ample opportunity to hang out with them and give them a potty break during my lunch! Other than that I am doing online school so I have no other obligations other than hanging out with your pet. :)
