Give your dog pure bliss!
Pet care experience
Your dogs health and happiness is my top priority! I have cared for all types of dogs from sleepy pugs to high energy labs. I have a background in massage therapy to soothe the nerves of anxious, stressed, or high strung poochs during cuddle sessions. I love to walk and play to help get your best friends extra energy out while you are away. I have grown up with dogs and cats in the home so I understand their emotional needs and communicational cues. We have adopted doges from various shelters and learned the best ways to work with them and make them happy in the home. Understanding each dog is different is important to their health and happiness. I have also volunteered with Animal Shelters which has exposed me to many different personalities of dogs and settings. I am currently working part time so I am out of the house for a few hours at a time depending on the day. My pug is a tiny and fiery ball of love, she goes from full on play mode to nap city in 5 seconds or less. My other dog Sedona is high energy and doesn’t understand personal space. I love spending time with all dogs and trying to get to know their demeanor and unique personality. I prefer not to work with dogs who have a history of aggressive behavior. My husband is an active part of the care team with dogs. He loves to play with dogs and bond. On days I do not work I am more that happy to be home with your baby! Meet and greets are a must for overnight stays and long boarding. I live right by the airport which is convenient for your trips with air travel!
Reviews
Valerie watched our golden over a long weekend away. Very easy to communicate with, nice yard, and tons of walking space near her place should you give permission to take your dog out.
Valerie is the best pet sitter I've ever had! We met in advance of officially booking her services, and she was so sweet, professional, and asked great question. She watched my two cats for six days and came at the same time every day, provided the best, detailed updates, and took several pictures at every visit. She always played with them and was also comfortable with using my home's security system. I came home to very happy cats! I would highly recommend booking Valerie for your pets and I can't wait to book with her in the future.
Bunnie had a fabulous stay with Valerie! She kept me up-to-date on Bunnies adventures with cute pictures along the way! Bunnie was well adjusted and happy when I picked her up, and she made a new friend in Mimsie the Pug!
We want to thank Valerie for everything! They have been absolutely wonderful to Paopao during her stay. We would definitely recommend Valerie to another owner!

I have a fenced in yard and 2 small dogs to keep your baby company. Dogs must be on a leash when walking. In your home, I’m careful when entering and exiting to ensure their safety. I pay close attention to care instructions and individual needs.

I would love to know what makes your dog loveable and special! If your sweet pup is staying here, the more I know about their personality and routine the better!
A typical day
I love to go on walks with dogs, if your pup likes that we will get along great! In between naps I love to cuddle. When my husband is home he loves to play tug, fetch, and do hide and seek.

I work part time and own my own business so I’m out of the house on varying days. Dogs get plenty of attention in the mornings before I leave, throughout the day if I’m home, and before bed.
