Pet care experience

Come one Come all I watch them all!

I’ve worked in the pet industry for over 10 years and counting. I’m a mom of 2 boys (Gabryel & Max). We have 5 dogs! Lupe and Lola are our senior Chihuahuas, Aurora is a senior Husky mix, Ember our adult Malinois mix and Chopper our adult Beauceron. We also have 3 cats: Bailey, Steel, and Flash. Last but not least is my pig, Hamlet! Aurora has acute Pancreatitis so we are very strict about food in the house and Ember eats everything :/ so we don't leave toys/food/bones out and about for safety. My oldest son Gabryel and I tag team sitting. We work as a team. I have knowledge in pet food, hygiene, and positive reinforcement training. I also have experience with behavioral problems with dogs. Ranging from aggression to separation anxiety. I have handled and cared for not just dogs and cats but multiple types of reptiles, small animals (hamsters, Guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc.) fish, pigs, and chickens. Animals are my passion! You won’t be disappointed! We will work together to fit your and your fur babies needs. Together we will make your babies stay smooth and comfortable. I work full time but always have eyes on the home stead. Together we got this!! I live in the mountains of Lompico. The front of property is not fenced so the pets will never be off leash out front. They will also never get to interact with Hamlet. My kids, like myself, are huge animal lovers and love to play with all fur babies. Your fur baby will never be left to play unsupervised. Safety is my number one priority. My two small dogs Lupe and Lola are dog friendly and with their age tend to just want to be wrapped in a blanket. Aurora and Ember are a bit more introverted so prefer to stay solo. Chopper is a doof and loves all dogs. He doesn't worry about people to much. My kitties are indoor and fast but still kept away from new dog visitors. All of my pets are fully crate trained, have individual kennels (inside and outside) and have quiet time and play time regularly. A bit about drop off. I do what I refer to as "the kindergarten drop off." My son, Gabryel, will bring your fur babies belongings inside. I will take your pup and pass them to Gabryel to have him walk them in the yard and I will have you leave during that time. My goal for transition at drop off is for it to be as positive and gentle as possible. We want your fur babies time with us to be the best and exciting. We want pup to associate the house and property with us and as a vacation for them! Traveling is stressful so we're here to help make it not! *Drop off/Pick up* As hectic as travel is planning is important to all of us. I do try my best to be as flexible as possible. However, for planning purposes I ask that we agree to a set time for drop off/pick up. Window time frames make it difficult for me with planning and managing other obligations. Thank you for understanding! *Holiday Fee update* With the holidays coming please keep an eye on the difference in rates. Thanks! ❤️ I do work full time outside the house but Gabryel is home 99% of the time. So your pup will have potty and play breaks every few hours. We give each pup 1:1 time as well. I can easily crate pup or exercise them whatever fits their needs. always with supervision ❤️

Valentina was extremely thoughtful about our cat’s care. She took into account our cat’s advanced age and timid temperament, and made her feel safe and at home. Valentina took the extra time to be extremely kind to our cat. If we ever need to board our cat again, we will leave her in Valentina’s professional and loving hands.

Valentina was able to board our golden retriever for two weeks on very short notice. She was responsive and I would recommend her to anyone in the area.

Valentina is fantastic with our dog, Harvey, who can be quite standoffish when he first meets new people. She had the patience and experience to allow our dog to become comfortable with her at his own pace. Not to mention, she totally saved our family vacation at the last minute when our normal facility fell through at the last minute. We'll be using her exclusively going forward.

I've had Valentina watch my Corgi multiple times over the last couple of years, so she knows her well. So we'll, that she identified the early signs of a UTI several days into Arya's stay. I contacted my veterinarian and Valentina brought her in the next day for an exam and was started on antibiotics. Within 24 hours, Arya was feeling like herself again! I was so thankful to have peace of mind while me and my family were out of state on vacation. I will always send my pup to Valentina as I know she's in excellent hands always!

I appreciated the check in and photos of Rico. He seemed happy and was enjoying himself. Valentina and her son sent Rico home with extra treats which he tried (and loved) while staying with them. We will definitely be going back.
