Rover Should Be Over! Love Awaits!♡

Pet care experience

I've always had plenty of love and attention to give to many. I've been a day care provider, foster mom, nanny and social worker, recruiting homes for souls in need of love. I've also always had pets, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, a pot belly pig, birds and currently have a horse. All beings need love, care, guidance and reassurance. I believe the more one cares for others, the heart expands, never becomes crowded with such joy. I am retired and I am a photographer. As when I provided loving care for children, it was with the approach of knowing that my clients could go to work with a clear mind knowing their loved ones were in good hands and a trustworthy heart. Trust is priceless. For the Summer I will be doing part time tutoring during the week but I am available on some weekends beginning with Friday evening. I also will have a block of time from June 26th through July 7th as the children will be on vacation.

Skye absolutely loved his stay! Valerie was thorough friendly and provided lots of updates! Skye came back happy and clean. He got lots of socialization and there was a ton of fun stuff for him to learn how to do in the backyard. Overall awesome stay and would highly recommend. It is very clear that she loves her dogs and cares for the dogs she is sitting like her own!

Valerie and her husband Greg are the best! They take the best care of our 17 year old dog Dillon. I highly recommend them to anyone. They go above and beyond to accommodate and they make sure the dogs are always getting along and having the best time.

Valerie and her husband were incredible. This was our first time leaving our 1 year old pup for the weekend and we couldn't have asked for better people to watch him. Valerie constantly updated us with photos of her dogs and ours so we always felt at ease. Her house is dog heaven. Another thing we were worried about is the fact that our pup is big. He's around 85 pounds, which is typically a tough thing for most sitters. But not for Valerie. Our pup loved playing with Finn (another high energy pup) and Lacie (great dane). We are so thankful to have found Valerie and look forward to being able to go away again in the future knowing our dog is safe and happy in a loving home. Thank you Valerie for being so awesome.

Information Valerie H. would like to know about your pet

How they interact with other dogs, any aggression, shyness, food allergies, allowed treats, personality traits to encourage or discourage. Have they experienced a dog related trauma, and the details of that. I want to ensure that they have a positive stay in our home and if I can help with some healing along the way, well, even better.

A typical day

I love the idea of taking our Rover Dogs on Adventures so they can really enjoy their sense of a true "Ferris Bueller's Day Off " kind of day and stay! I am an avid beach goer and love Arroyo Verde Park, near my home. My quiet neighborhood has a great 3 mile loop I love to walk. We have a big backyard that is good for throwing the ball, an agility tunnel, and a big home for cozy moments. I also want to say I take it very seriously as when I was a daycare provider, foster parent, and provided a home to our own children and their best friends through tough times. Top of the list....To Have Fun With Your Loved One!!♡♡
