Experienced Pet Care-Taker
Pet care experience
**New guests: currently not taking in puppies under 6 months, high energy breeds, and dogs over 35 pounds. **Regular guests please send an inquiry if you see I am booked/unavailable on my calendar for the dates you need - I will get right back to you to discuss accommodations. For over 10 years I have been taking care of many kinds of animals. I truly believe in kind discipline and loving care in order to receive respect and loyalty from man's best friend. I have trained and taken care of many kinds of dogs. I am a very active person and enjoy taking the dogs for runs, hikes, or just even playing in the backyard with them. I have experience with dogs of all ages- from newborn toy breeds to old aged senior boxers... one of which was my own and whom I took care of to an old age giving him all the love and comfort he needed. I am very dependable, responsible, and kind-hearted. I sincerely look forward to meeting your four legged friend! I have a flexible schedule working from home most of the time. Times for drop off and pick-up can be anytime between 7:00 a.m.-10:30 p.m. We can always extend boarding stays if need be. I am comfortable caring for dogs with special medical needs: medications (pills/topical), insulin injections, etc. We have a fenced in yard but I can keep your pets on a leash when outside if you would prefer. When your dog is left alone he/she can either be crated or stay in one of our extra rooms - dogs from different families will be separated when left alone in our home.
Reviews
Highly recommend Valentina for all your dog-sitting needs! My dog, Loki, loved his stay with her! He was in good spirits when I picked him up and Valentina sent updates + pictures of Loki throughout the stay! It can be a bit nerve-wracking when leaving your pup, but I’m glad I was able to find Valentina :) Thank you!
Valentina was great! Kept us updated while we were away. Would definitely recommend her and reserve her services again
Valentina keeps us updated on Chibs’ experience daily and we are pleased with the care he receives during his stay. She is flexible and easy to work with to schedule dates and drop off or pick up times. Chibs loves her too!!
Pan loved his stay with Valentina! She was super responsive and sent several pictures of Pan throughout the stay. She also was very accommodating with our pickup time. Will definitely book again

If your dog is crate trained you do NOT need to bring a crate - we have plenty of extras in all sizes. We also have extra bowls, blankets, toys, long leashes and harnesses. Please DO bring any treats/chew toys and your dogs food.

Please let us know of any habits your dog has, examples: digging, food (or toy) aggression, separation anxiety, anxiety from storms/fireworks. Prior to the stay, please let us know ahead if your dog requires medication or has any food allergies.
A typical day
Higher energy breeds will be taken for a walk during the day. We let the dogs have a few playtimes throughout the day together to get their energy out. All dogs we take in have to get along with other dogs.
