About Valerie B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
If I'm caring for your pet in my home - they will be grateful for an easy life. There will be plenty of potty breaks and outdoor time if desired. (I can easily crate your dog if you would like me too as well.) I give pups the exercise needed for their age and desire - generally 2-4 hours per day of walking, romping and playing. (I will take them outside 2 times during the heat waves of summer, both in the mornings and early evenings). If it works for your pup, playing in parks and exploring the woods on exciting forest adventures is my specialty!

Information Valerie B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs to be aware of. I am trained in several areas of specialized care, so whether their special needs be behavioral, temperamental or health related, I will be very sure to take excellent care of them as if they were my own!
A typical day
And I will take them to dog parks for social training as well, if their temperament and health allows. I can throw a ball, a Frisbee, any special games they like, or just hike them until they are nice and tired out. :)

Pet care experience
My name is Valerie, with over 30 years experience as a dog owner, and 5 years as a dog trainer and boarder, I know the importance of having trustworthy pet care - that's why I'm dedicated to providing top-notch service and peace of mind to my clients. I continually strive to foster a healthy loving relationship between pets and people, and I enjoy keeping updated on the latest dog training and dog psychology research. But most of all I cherish my time with my furry friends! 😊 I'm insured/bonded, and have experience pet sitting for cats and dogs of many breeds. I can offer your pup peaceful daily walks near your home, adventures at the local dog park and joyful romps in the nearby state parks as well.
Reviews
When we needed a place for Poppy, our 4 month old Lab, to stay while we headed out of town, I turned to Rover and found Valerie. She was amazing from our first communication. She had me bring Poppy over ahead of time to get the lay of the land, and then went over a customized plan with me of how she'd take advantage of the boarding time to also do quite a bit of training. We received daily communication with pictures and updates. When we got home, Poppy was so much more used to being around other dogs. She no longer was barking randomly at all times of the day, and we were able to get some great instruction on how to provide an environment where Poppy would thrive. When all was said and done, I can say with integrity that Valerie was top notch, treated our dog as though she were her own, and looked out for us through the entire process. We can't say enough about how great the experience was. Highly recommend!
I used Rover for the first time and was really nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger. I met Valerie and we talked about what Lexi’s needs were (lots of hugs and treats) oh and the basics! She took note of all I was looking for and went above and beyond my expectations and Lexi’s! She was great! Sent me pics of Lexi and things they did. I’ve found my favorite dog sitter and I will be using her again. She exercised Lexi, or maybe Lexi exercised her! Lol Lexi got along with her two little dogs as well. She’s very caring, friendly and has your dogs best interest in mind! I can’t say enough how pleased I was. I HIGHLY recommend her for your dogs sitter needs. Thanks for all you did Valerie we’ll be seeing you again real soon! 🐾 ❤️
Valerie is a "Miracle Worker". Not only did she lovingly train Bella, my golden doodle puppy, the basics, she boosted my little girl's confidence. We are so pleased with her services and plan to hire her again when Bella reaches 1 year of age. We've also lined up petting sitting services while away this Fall. We can travel and know our girl is in good hands. Valerie is reasonably priced, punctual, knowledgeable, & so helpful. She even trained me. ;) I can't recommend her enough. She's a gem.
"Buddy won't walk with just anyone - so it's great to have Valorie's help! And he always comes home happier after his walks with her. Debi
