Hello, my name is Val. As an owner of three marvelous dogs and one very (lovable) peculiar cat, I have plenty of experience in handling all kinds of pet needs. My eldest fur-child is 10 years old, so I've been training as a decent human for many years. :) I work from home, so I'm always around to give treats, be coerced into belly rubs, or throw a ball. Our house has a large, fenced-in yard for lots of running around and playing. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!
