I always make sure the pets have enough water and that the space they’re in is secure before I leave. I like to leave them with their favorite toy.

Valerie did a great job of watching after two pugs! She was so responsive and sent multiple pictures which put me at ease while I was gone. And on top of taking excellent care of my dogs when I returned, my apartment was really tidy which I appreciated! Will absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone!

Valerie was great with our pups. She stayed at our place and we came back to a clean apartment and two happy pups! She was great at sending pictures even when I wasn’t able to respond. She kept us updated which we loved! Would definitely love to use her again!

Valerie loves dogs and will care for them as her own. She is a wonderful person with a kind, bright and professional demeanor. If you ask Valerie to walk your dog(s) know that you are in the best hands possible because she will keep your dogs happy and safe!

Valerie is kind, trustworthy, super compassionate and loves all animals. She's watched both my rescue dogs whenever I've needed help or been in a bind! I highly recommend her for any walking or animal care you may need. She's courteous and responsible without a doubt .... Sandi K

Let me know if your dog has any treats at home! Also knowing if they pull on the leash during walks would be helpful so I can expect that behavior.
