Pet care experience

As a child my Mother told me I could have as many pets as I wanted when I grew up. I have 4, but have room for more. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby..

Valerie is such a kind and friendly person! She truly cares and is very attentive. From the photos she sent, my pups looked relaxed, happy, and completely at ease. When I picked them up, they were content—and totally exhausted, which tells me they had plenty of playtime and attention. I would absolutely recommend Valerie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.

We left our cat with Valerie for 5 days while we were gone on a trip. My cat can be rather high maintenance plus she does not tolerate other animals well. Valerie and her family worked hard to accommodate my cat's particular needs and tried to make her as comfortable as possible, making sure she had her own space away from the household pets. They even gave her a nice grooming so my cat came home looking better than when she left! I checked in daily asking for updates and pictures and Valerie always sent them.

Valerie was an amazing dog sitter! We received many text, photo, and video updates which were so nice! We can tell our dog, Woody, had the most amazing time and was very well taken care of. We will definitely book with Valerie again in the future.

Val was a 5 star sitter and nothing less. She had so much patience and fun watching my deaf puppy. She fufilled his needs to the fullest. Was very current on updates and photos the whole time. Glad I have someone I trust to watch my fur baby when need be. Thank you Val!
