Pet care experience

Loving Care for Dogs & Cats

I’m an animal communicator with a deep, intuitive connection to animals — I don’t just care for your pets, I actually listen to them. I’ve spent my life alongside dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and needs, including my own two girls, Daisy and Chloe. I understand animal behavior, body language, and emotional wellbeing on a level that goes beyond feeding and walks. Senior pets, anxious dogs, and strong-willed characters are my specialty. Your fur family will be safe, seen, and genuinely loved while you’re away.

Val is amazing. The level of love, care, and compassion she gives to animals is at a level I struggle to give to my own animals. She truly listens and sees them in ways that, at times, have me scratching my head and wondering how, only to then see the results of her efforts. I have witnessed firsthand not only the care she gives to her own animals but the same level of care she gives to those she watches as well. 5 stars :) Would Recommend!

Schedule

I’m currently available full time through mid-September, making this a great time to book! After that I take on seasonal evening work Thursday through Sunday, so I’m still available for daytime care and drop-ins year round. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so you can plan with confidence.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a fenced yard, though the fencing is low enough that larger dogs could potentially jump it. I supervise all outdoor time with bigger dogs until I know their behavior well, so everyone stays safe. My two dogs, Daisy and Chloe are social, dog-park regulars who welcome new friends easily. I have crates available for large dogs if needed, and I’m happy to sit in your home as well if that’s a better fit for your pet.
