Valerie's Doggy Haven
Pet care experience
Little dogs of the tri-state area, this is the place to be! No big dogs to hover over you in this home. You will be treated like the king or queen that your are! Now a little about me: I have worked with big and small dogs, I love them all. I grew up with Dobermans and ended up with an obsession with chihuahuas lol! I have worked in a vets office as well as some vet tech training. I have experience with my own senior pets as well as senior clients who have required special attention, medication etc. You will be updated regularly and I guarantee you will have no worries as long as your babies are in my care. I will provide them with lots of play time and love. Very close to the airport and Philadelphia. We have 2 little chihuahuas that are great playmates for all the clients that we have had the pleasure to have with us. I will host 2 pups at most at a time. I have a small but spacious home. My yard is fenced in (6ft wood) with a large gazebo for shade, Fish they can watch , plenty of room to run. They will always be supervised outside. I have been away due to many unexpected events as well as moving and raising the little one but we are ready to accept new clients (and repeats) as long as they are small and friendly, we don't ask much :) Hope to meet you soon. I’m happy to answer any questions you have!
Reviews
This was the longest time away from us and our dog came back to us so happy and playful and clean and healthy. We’re convinced that Val’s home is a dog haven.
Even on Loki’s most nervous days, we can trust that he’s in good hands. When we drop him off he follows Val around. When he comes home after staying with Val he acts normal and happy. It takes a lot to earn his trust and Val has done that. She’s truly a dog whisperer!
5 Paws for Val!! We couldn't have found a better sitter for our little Yorkie! She kept us updated on how our girl was doing and we never had to worry as she was given all the love and attention she needed and then some!!! :) We are so happy to have found Val and we highly recommend her services. Your furry friend will be in great hands!!
Loki loves Val! We trust Loki with her and her family. They are Loki’s 2nd family ☺️

My home is dog proof. I have baby gates blocking bedrooms, stairs and the front room. There’s no chance of any pup getting out the front door. My fenced in yard is perfect for play time. Plenty of shade.

Information Valerie P. would like to know about your pet
Whatever makes your pup comfortable please let me know. I like to send my clients home bathed, only if ok with the owner, and if im comfortable doing so. Some dogs get too nervous and I don't want to scar them for life because of a bath.** Food aggression or anything that agitates your dog please advise in advance. Thank you. ** Pick up and drop offs during the week (with the exception of holidays) are after 4:30 pm please**
A typical day
I’m always doing something around the house. I prefer to stay active and busy. My dogs are usually following me around and especially while I’m not working I make sure we have plenty of outside time. When the weather is beautiful We try to stay outside even more so we can enjoy. There is always a bowl of water in the back yard especially when it's hot. I love to simulate with some doggie games such as find the squeaker or find the treat. I work full time but still offer my services during the week, my partner is home way before me and takes everybody outside to play. He loves to roll around on the floor and let everybody climb on him. Very cute. :)

Availability
I am Available weekends full time. During the week I do work, however my Husband gets home early, so nobody has to wait too long. This includes my own 2 pups. I have a camera set up so I keep watch while I am away. My mother lives down the street and is happy to stop by to help out. We are all animal lovers and work as a team.
