Spec.in exercising high dogs&puppy

Pet care experience

My house is in Jupiter on a 1.5-acre in town east 3 miles from I-95 that has a fenced backyard and swimming pool for swimming pooches. I am a certified dog trainer and specialize in exercising high energy dogs, environmental socialization of all dogs and Puppy care for under 6 months old in training. Dogs love the room to run and play. I own 4 friendly female dogs ranging from 10 to 80 lbs. My house has a tile floor, plenty of room to romp around, play indoors and out. I am very fit and exercise regularly, taking my own dogs for bike rides, walks and to the beach. I snuggle with furry animals of all kinds. I am a homeschool mom, raised 6 boys and 1 girl. I have parented my own puppies. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and more so. I have owned and trained dogs since I was a teenager and have always owned dogs except during my 4 years of college. My hours and days are flexible. I love new furry friends and will keep your pet entertained if they want to be. I have room for multiple dogs. I can provide references from longtime friends and neighbors because I've lived in Palm Beach County for 33 years and in my present home for 16 years. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion!

We had an incredible experience boarding our dog with Valerie! We got several updates, and could see how happy our dog was in every picture. Highly recommend.

Valerie was so great and Rocky had the best time. Valerie is super responsive, sends tons of photos and our pup was so happy the entire time.

Valerie watched my dog, Stella for two nights. She was extremely responsive both before and during the sitting. She provided tons of pictures, videos and updates during her entire stay. When I picked up Stella, she didn’t want to leave! I can tell she truly cares about these animals she watches and I know Stella is looking forward to swimming and running on her property again very soon!

Went on a limb recently wanting to separate from large dog resorts. I found Valerie on Rover and was not let down, she is amazing! Not only does she provide a fantastic property for our dog to run and play but she gives us numerous updates daily on how our dog is doing, showing her dedication and love for animals. He swims, plays with others and seems upset when he has to come back home. We are grateful to have met her and plan to use her services for all of our seen future.
