Pet care experience

Eager to love on your pet!

I have a dog of my own that I have trained since 8 weeks. And I've recently rescued 2 brother/bonded cats. I am committed to taking the best care of both human and cat and canine clients. My goal is to make clients’ days easier by making sure their pets enjoy great days that include exercise and loving companionship. I have experience with potty training, leash training, general behavior training, and more. I am here to help your pet with anything they need! Can walk, run, bathe, feed, cuddle, train, give medicine, etc. Can't wait to meet your little creatures! I currently work from home and am flexible to drop-in or go for walks throughout the day. Early morning, mid day or evening works for me! Safety, comfort, and care are my top priority when handling your dog on a walk or at your home. Every animal has unique needs and I am equipped to take special care of each one individually.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are certainly more comfortable in their homes and familiar environments, I am sure to always respect their space and am highly attentive to their moods and adjust accordingly.

Doggy Day Care • maj 17, 2026

My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!

Valerie was able to walk Elmer with short notice. She is timely, responsive, professional, and took great care of Elmer!

We’ve been so lucky to have Valerie as our dog walker! She’s always on time, incredibly accommodating of our ever-changing schedule, and most importantly, our pups absolutely love their walks with her. We’re so appreciative of the care and consistency she brings every day!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. If there are certain off limit areas or places in the neighborhood (dog park, soccer fields, etc). And we'll be sure to avoid!
