Safety, trust & environment

I perform routine cleanings in my home using pet safe products and disinfect in between boardings. My dog, Taki is up to date on vaccinations and treated with flea, tick, and heart worm preventative. I am extremely responsible and trustworthy when I am entering/leaving or staying for a duration of time in a client’s home. I attempt to leave your house cleaner than I found it, and to ensure your pets are happy and very well taken care of while you are away.

Information Valerie C. would like to know about your pet

Taki is a 19 pound, mild-mannered, and friendly pup; she takes no time at all to warm up to new dog and human friends. Taki has great manners and knows how to respect another dog’s personal space; she typically ignores cats.

A typical day

I am very active and love to be outside. I like to take dogs to the dog park and on nice walks around the neighborhood. If your pet requires specific exercise or play, such as tug of war, I can accommodate these requests.

Pet care experience

I am an outgoing and affectionate caretaker who loves to work with dogs and improve their training. I have volunteered at the humane society, worked at an established dog boarding facility, and am comfortable with all dog breeds. I have lots of free time and plenty of energy to keep up with your outgoing dogs! I am patient with animals and give them time to feel comfortable with me and adjust to new environments at their own pace. If your dog is a couch potato who just wants to lounge around, I am capable of lazing around and giving them plenty of scratches and rub downs. I would want your fur baby to be as cozy and happy with me as possible!

Valerie did an outstanding job caring for our four dogs. She was highly communicative throughout the entire time, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a clean home and, most importantly, very happy dogs. It’s clear she genuinely cares and takes pride in her work. I would highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

Valerie is awesome! She was great with my little Indie, communicating well and sending cute pics of her time with him. She is incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond with her services. I would definitely recommend her for watching after your furry friend.

Valerie took wonderful care of our three dogs. She let me know when she gave Domino his heart medication which put my mind at ease. She also took pictures of them once or twice a day and sent them to me. She also took care of my daughter‘s tortoise which decided to be an escape artist, and she had to hunt him down in the neighbors yard. On returning from our vacation, she left the house extremely clean, which was extremely appreciated.
