Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to provide leashed walks in your neighborhood or nearby trails. In addition to exercise, I also like to do activities that stimulate their mind such as hidden treat puzzles.

Information Valerie D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dogs regular routine so I can be consistent with that. I also prefer to use the commands and words that the dogs are familiar with.

A typical day

I love to take walks and watch the dogs explore their surroundings. I am a big believer in talking to the dogs and providing mental stimulation as well.

Providing a Mother's love

Pet care experience

I am so fortunate to do what I do! The cats and dogs that I work with bring me so much joy! I smile and even laugh out loud when I am walking dogs or caring for pets in their homes! I have two dogs of my own and five granddogs who have lived with me from time to time. I am currently the go-to sitter for them, and I love it! I raised my first dog, Beaux, since he was a puppy, and rescued my second dog, Mason, when he was six.

Valerie did an awesome job for us! We are so appreciative! She provided great care and attention to detail for our dog, Ziggy. We would recommend her to anyone looking for love and care for their pet.

Valerie has been fantastic! She gives her full attention to Ottis and T and is very kind. I do not feel like I have to worry about them while they are in her hands

Thank you so much! Valerie, you are the best! Easy to work with, animals were calm and happy and got to enjoy their own home. Valerie was so kind to all of them and our dogs and cats all love her.

I am so glad that I found Valerie. The pups warmed up to her during the meet up. Valerie took time with them after the walk to give snacks and put Truly's snuffle mat out. I would absolutely recommend Valerie.
