Clean, smoke-free, alcohol/drug free home. Relatives, friends, coworkers and new clients alike, have trusted me to care for and love their animals while they are away.

We’ve used Valeri multiple times now, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! Every time we leave our dog with her, we have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands. Our dog absolutely loves going there and feels right at home from the moment she arrives. She and Valeri's dog, Lexi, get along so well and have an endless amount of fun playing together. Valeri is fantastic with communication, sending daily updates and pictures that always make us smile while we’re away. During our most recent stay, our dog happened to be going through one of her picky eating phases. Valeri was incredibly patient and thoughtful, trying different approaches to encourage her to eat and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. In addition to all the playtime with Lexi, Valeri took our dog on walks, gave her lots of attention, and was very accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up schedule. It’s such a relief to have found someone we trust completely. Our dog is always happy, well cared for, and genuinely excited to go back. We will definitely book with Valeri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!

Our 18 month old Austrialian Cobberdog came home happy and healthy. Valeri was a great pick and Piper got to play with her dog throughout her visit.

Valeri and her children made Bentley’s first boarding experience a wonderful one. Bentley was loved by them and he got to hang out with their friendly dog Lexi. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with how happy Bentley was playing and doing zoomies with Valeri’s son. I know Bentley missed them when he got home. We will definitely go to Valeri again.

My dog loved staying with Valeri and her family- it seemed like she didn't want to leave! Valeri was great with communication, sent regular updates/pictures and took great care of our dog. She even took her for a walk at a beach. We would definitely book with Valeri again.

Great sitter, and treats my dog Widget like family! Extremely communicative, and has a sense of humor about my dog's quirks. Her big yard means my dog has plenty of space to romp around. Since I live in the city, it must feel like a vacation for him, too!

10/10! When I drop off my pup with Valeri, I know he will be happy. He's become best friend with Valeri's dog, Lexi, and as soon as we pull up to her house he is excited to play. Valeri is great about updating me, both in terms of sending cute photos as well as letting me know about any behavioral changes she picks up on. I deeply appreciate this care and attention to detail!

A typical day

I love to physically and mentally stimulate your dogs needs with play and adventure! Sniffing in the neighborhood, walking on the trail, stopping to see the ducks and geese at the pond, fetch in the yard and time for rest, water and a treat. Our day will be fun!
