Pet care experience

Loving Pet Mom!

I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs from small to large. While I have never had any dogs myself due to my mother being allergic, I have many friends and family members with fur babies. I love walking them, don't mind administering medication, and caring for and cleaning them! As a special education teacher I find joy in advocating for my students because they cannot do it for themselves and the same goes with animals. I enjoy giving them a safe, loving place to be because they cannot advocate for themselves. I love when pet parents make it a point to keep their fur babies active and well loved!

My dog loves going on walks with Val! I was able to relax on vacation knowing that my dog was in responsible hands. Highly recommend Val!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am a teacher on summer break so I am available any time during the week, and even weekends to assist you and your fur babies!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I do not mind helping in any way that I can! I love walking dogs and playing with animals of all kinds. If you need me to come keep your fur baby company, I am more than willing!

Pets

A typical day

I love letting dogs do their thing (as long as they are safe)! When walking or playing with dogs I find it important to allow them to stop, smell and interact with nature as they please. If your dog wants to chill and hang out, I am more than happy to do so!
