Happy dog, happy life! ❤️

Pet care experience

I love hanging out with dogs, cats, and any other furry or scaly creature you may have! I have two rescue dogs a 1 year old Malinois named Lance and a 5 year old lab husky mix named Ben. Ben is a self-trained service dog and also has his AKC Canine Good Citizen title! We also perform tricks, freestyle frisbee, and more at state fairs for public entertainment! Outside of Rover I am a dog trainer based in St Louis that focuses on pet obedience and behavior modification using positive only training methods. So let me know if there’s anything specific you’re working on and I’ll be happy to help you meet your goals. I offer everything from dog boarding to day camp to dog walking! As a passionate dog owner, I have a lot of equipment and toys to provide your pup with an amazing time! From hiking to mentally stimulating activities, I’d be happy to make your dog’s stay as enjoyable as possible. I enjoy meeting and taking care of different animals with different personalities. The amount our pets truly know is incredible! They have so much to teach us from unconditional love to their silly quirks. I love all the fur babies and would love to help you feel like yours is in a safe and loving home. If you need financial help with paying for the services let me know! I’ll try to make it work for you ❤️

Val was great. She was available on short notice and came by before her scheduled appointment to introduce herself and get to know our dog a bit. She sent photos during her visit and was very communicative.

I can’t say enough about Val. My pup gets super sad when we leave and Val spent extra time and made sure our four legged baby felt secure and cared for. Val clearly cares so much for the animals she watches. She also goes above and beyond with communication, sending lots of messages and adorable pictures.

Val loved on Fudge as much or more than we do! I feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with her.
