Reviews
Valerie was excellent! Very accommodating with picking our dogs up! Will call her again for sure when we are in the area.
Valerie did an excellent job watching our high energy Aussie Shepard Vinny. Valerie sent photos and a detailed report on Vinny’s behavior. We highly recommend Valerie.
She does a great job! I have been taking my guy to her since he was a puppy. He is very well behaved and trained. Val is money well spent!
About Valerie H.

Safety, trust & environment
I can come to you for a dog walk or a drop-in visit which would include mealtime, walk/play, potty breaks, brushing, etc! For pet care in my home, I have a fenced in yard and an 11-year-old dog who LOVES new friends. I have a crate and/or basement for when separation is best. Currently, I can only facilitate overnight care in my own home. I aim to mirror your schedule as best as possible with feeding, walk, play time, and loving on them as much as you do so they hardly even notice you're gone!

Information Valerie H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any special needs before hand so I can come best prepared. Since I may occasionally have a child or two with me for house calls, Its important to highlight that I prefer to meet one-on-one with dogs who may require extra skill for training or behavior balancing.
A typical day
I love to focus on exhausting the brain through lure treat training, hide-and-seek with treats, fetch, or another form of play the animal excitedly engages in. We can take walks around the neighborhood to help meet the physical needs and sensory stimulation. Occasionally, I love to go for doggy adventures to the dunes, centennial park, or one of the beautiful forest preserves in our area, if weather permits.

I’m currently working out of the home part-time in evenings and weekends. During the weekdays, I am able to come with my children in the afternoon for dog walking; I have a baby I walk in the stroller and a 6-year-old who has come along with me for years and loves to help walk and train animals with me! For pet sitting, I’m often open and flexible being primarily a stay-at-home + homeschool mama.
