Safety, trust & environment

I don't have any animals currently. I dog sit a lot for my friends. My property is on 3/4 acre fully fenced for bigger dogs. The living area of the house is open with 3 sliding glass doors overlooking the backyard. Out front there's a small area off the carport that is covered by the roof, but has dirt and grass. Generally, dogs not wanting to pee in rain go here. Its perfect!

Information Valarie B. would like to know about your pet

Are they house broken.. or specific commands you say when they need to "go". Do they like other dogs? How are they with rain? storms? Are they allowed people food? How playful or couch potato are they usually?

A typical day

We can walk around the neighborhood, or if ok I can bring him or her to the run club and we can walk or run the bridges. Or a leisurely stroll at the causeway. Bring your favorite toy and we can play fetch or keep away, or even hide and seek.

Pet care experience

I'm an animal lover. We've had our own dogs since I was 8, I love walking, feeding, training. I have also worked for a vet in the kennel, so I am experienced in handling all different personalities. We had a litter a few years back and that experience was so rewarding. Puppy training comes easy to me. I love teaching the pups. When I was in high school I was requested to train a few of our friends dogs after they heard how receptive our pets were. Its second nature to me. My favorite dogs are the BIG ones. The bigger the better! Something new about me: I just started fostering with Suncoast Animal and found that very rewarding. It's important to me that I make a difference.

Valarie was absolutely wonderful w my three dogs while I was out of town! I am always nervous to leave my dogs but Valarie eliminated those worries. She was prompt, communicative, and sent so many sweet pictures! She never missed a visit and spent the night w them so they wouldn’t be alone. I would highly recommend Valarie as your next rover! Thank you Valarie for treating my dogs as if they were your own and making my travel worry free!! :)

Valarie is amazing! She followed all my neurotic instructions, walked him daily, sent pics and updates and gave him all the love and treats he needed. I loved the meet and greet first and her communication was on point. I can't say enough great things about her and her accommodations for my precious Mo!. I will definitely use her again and give her my highest recommendation!
