Pet care experience

Mary Poppins for your pets!

I'm a Pet Mommy who has owned and cared for pets all my life. Your pet will have fun, lots of love, and attention until you return. Fun, companionship, play, toys, parks, walks, cuddling, and lots of love from someone who understands them and all their needs, and someone your pet knows will take care of them and protect them. Your pets are welcome and treated as part of our family. I'm flexible and available most days unless previously committed. Your pets routine will be followed as closely as possible. Your pet should have current tags and any local licences, potty trained, be chipped and up to date on all vaccinations and proof of veterinarian vaccine certificate and veterinarian contact information is required. Will provide pet taxi service if you need your pet transported to appointments or to/from family members.

Our dog loves staying with Valerie so much that he tries getting back in her car when he gets dropped off from daycare!

We hired Valerie to walk our dog Hank twice a day while he stayed at my mom’s during our vacation, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she was incredibly thorough with planning. Valerie asked all the right questions and clearly came prepared knowing exactly how to handle him. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes real pride in her work. Hank was happy, well-exercised, and in great hands the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Valerie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker!
