Paws & Claws Caretaker

Pet care experience

I was a Vet Tech for 8 years and I am experienced in working with all types of animals, I love animals and taking care of them. I am semi retired so I have time to give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I make sure they are exercised. My dog Maggie gets to go to the beach and fairgrounds everyday. If you want your dog exercised and socialized I can accommodate your needs.

Valerie was great. She took the time to get to the Bailey and make him comfortable with her.

Valerie did a great job as both my cats eat well and look well! Plus the house looks great. She brought in the mail and got rid of all the litter! I can now take more vacations as I will be using Valerie anytime i need to go away! And I am really really picky about who is around the cats!! Valerie definitely makes you at ease that you are leaving your pets in good hands.
