Val watched two of my dogs this time for a weeklong trip. She did a great job keeping me updated with photos and videos. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my dogs were under her care. Thanks Val!

Val was fantastic. She took a last minute request to board my dog who had recently had surgery. She gave multiple updates throughout each day and sent pictures as well. I could tell my dog enjoyed her stay with Val and I look forward to the next time we board with her.

Information Val S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if they nip or bite and if they are safe to be around other people/animals. Have they been spayed/neutered? Do they know basic commands (sit/stay/come)? Are they destructive when left alone? Are they an escape artist? Will they eat anything unattended? The more I know about your pet the better quality of service I can provide.

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement: I crate overnight. Time I'll spend with your dog I am usually always home. Time I'll spend with your dog: Depends on what the dogs like to do. I have lot's of toys and a huge fenced yard. They usually just like to play with each other. Then we have couch potato time for the ones that are laid back.
