Highlights
Pet care experience
LGBTQIA+ animal support :)
Having over 5 years professional experience working with dogs, I always regardless of temperament do slow introductions with any dogs, feed dogs, separately, have camera access for when I am not home, and have a dog that is extremely trained in obedience and is a great tool for your pups to learn guidance from!

Ratings and reviews
Val took excellent care of our 10-year-old male dog. She was extremely reliable, sent lots of photos, and clearly knows what she’s doing. She was very conscientious about introductions with her dog Pearl, and they ended up getting along great. Val went above and beyond—making special Christmas treats, taking the dogs on walks in the woods, and letting them play on agility equipment in her backyard. We were thrilled and will absolutely be using Val again. Highly recommend!
Val took great care of my dog, Eevee. Val gave great updates and I eagerly awaited each one! I really appreciate Val's experience and enthusiasm for dogs, which shows in the care and handling of the pups. Eevee looks like she had a great time as well!! I felt that Eevee was in good hands the whole time and I am so excited to have a trusted dog sitter nearby! Thank you Val!
We’ve always been hesitant about boarding or having anyone else but family watch our Corgis, but a scheduling conflict pushed us to try Rover and we’re so glad it did. We came across Val’s profile and instantly felt she’d be a great match for our little lady, Zoe. She ended up exceeding every expectation. From the initial messages to meeting in person, Val was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive to Zoe’s quirks. The pictures and videos she sent during the stay showed just how much fun Zoe was having with Val and her sweet pup, Pearle. It gave us total peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend Val more for anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy home for their pups. Take it from two dads who don’t hand that trust out easily when it comes to our kiddos!
From all the videos and pictures, I think the dogs had more fun at Val's than at home! Between the agility course, training, interactive toys, and everything else, they came home happy and tired. My terror puppy and my older grumpy dog were well taken care of and I appreciate Val's confidence with both of them. I didn't worry a bit.
Always so sweet and accommodating! I know Max is in good hands and I never have to worry about leaving him!!
Val and Theresa bailed us out when we needed an overnight sitter for a night! Communication was great sending pics periodically of our dogs training with them. I just wish they lived closer to us so we could use them more often!!

Schedule
Lucky enough owning my own business I have a very lax schedule that can be planned around your dogs needs! I base my personal schedule on if I am boarding dogs or not!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a completely fenced in back yard that’s about a half acre, also along with 2.5 acres of woods I own across the street!
A typical day
My dog pearl has worked hand in hand with various dogs over the last five years. She is completely neutral and has had so far a 100% success rate with dogs that are even more particular than other others! I have a 2 1/2 acre Woods plot, a mini agility course, and many flirt poles! I also only either hand feed or use kibble dispensing enrichment toys to really work your dogs mental!
