Dogs make my heart full!

Valbona continues to treat my pet with love and care while I'm away. He gets frequent walks outside and playtime with gentle Nina, her senior dog. Her family adores him and I can tell he enjoys being with them. He didn't want to leave when I picked him up. So sweet. She also sends many pictures of their activities together, which I love.

Valbona was absolutely wonderful with Manning! She sent photos throughout the day so we always knew what he was up to, took him on multiple walks daily, and her golden retriever was the sweetest built-in companion for him all weekend. Manning came home happy, tired, and clearly very well loved. We couldn't have asked for a better experience — highly recommend!

This was the first time leaving my senior pup with Valbona. He's a little skidding after some nigh life changes, but she was so caring and took amazing care of Kent.

She took such good care of our 14 week puppy. Communicated throughout the visit with pictures - I had a lot of confidence our puppy was in good hands and loved.

Valbona was excellent with Brady! She gave me such peace of mind and treated Brady as if he was her own.

Valbona is great with my pup. He has some separation anxiety and she’s been so kind and accommodating to all his needs. Taking him on walks multiple times a day and making him feel like a member of their family. Happy to have found her!

Schedule

Between 9 and 4 is best, but open to other times as needed and requested. Love walking my dog on extended walks and will do the same for you if you desire. Short walks are also a wonderful start to the day for me and any furry friends.

A typical day

Love to walk around the area and let the dogs enjoy themselves and have some good exercise. If they are ok to play fetch and be off leash, I can facilitate their training in that area.
