Pet care experience

Pawsitively Pampered Pups

I am located in beautiful Belvedere park with lots of outdoor green space. For active pups, I have a large fenced in yard and the location is great for daily walks in the neighborhood. My 12 year old pup Leo passed away 🌈 recently and it has been a comfort to have furry friends in the house to keep me company! Being a dog lover who travels frequently, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I will be sure to keep your dog well fed, active, and loved while you are away. If you would like, I would love to send you pictures of your precious pup while you are away so you can share in their fun! I would be happy to schedule a meet and greet with your dog before your time away to discuss any special needs or care that your dog may require!

Valerie was great at communicating and keeping me updated on my pups throughout their overnight stay and day care! She handled both my pups with very different personalities well and both came home happy and healthy!

Flapjack had a great time with Valerie! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands and we will be using her again in the future.

Valerie was great! I could tell my dog liked her based on the photos she sent of their adventures together. Highly recommend her and plan to use her again in the future myself!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a house with a large privacy fenced backyard for dogs to roam around and get exercise. Whether we are playing fetch or tug of war, there is always something to keep your pup entertained.

A typical day

I love going on walks around the neighborhood and starting my day off with physically activity. We will also take a nice walk after work and I have a basket full of toys to play with!
