Valerie took care of my cat Chowder while I was away for 2 weeks. I got daily updates with many photos and that certainly put me at ease! I got home to a happy and healthy cat. Thank you so much Valerie!

Valerie took great care of Cooper and was so easy to work with. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Coop was in such good hands!

Information Valerie C. would like to know about your pet

In order to care for your pet safely, please let me know if your pet has any health issues or is on any medication that I will administer. What is your pet's eating schedule ? Where does your pet prefer to sleep? How does your pet do with other dogs and people? Does your pet have any fears (sounds, places, people, things)? Do you have any specific rules regarding training and reinforcement?

A typical day

A TYPICAL DAY Typical activities include several walks a day, playing fetch, playing hide and seek with snuffle mats and puzzle toys. On nice days we like to go to a local dog park or walk the nature trails around town.

Availability

SCHEDULE **EFFECTIVE Monday, August 28th, I will be available on a limited basis for weekend, school-holiday care, and occasional weekday evening drop-ins ONLY. Please consult my calendar for availability. Thank you! ** I am a teacher and have summers off work, so I have ample availability to devote my time and energy to caring for your animals. My husband also works from home. Your pet will have constant companionship and supervision, minimizing any potential stress or anxiety they might experience from being separated from you. Whether you require a boarding arrangement, a regular walking schedule, in-home cat sitting and/or someone to take in the mail and water your plants, I can accommodate your needs and provide consistent care.
