Pet care experience

Hi my name is Valerie. I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I live with my 16 year old daughter, and my 13 year old son who adore dogs, my sleepy Newfoundland and 2 dog loving cats, 2 donkeys and our horse on our small family farm. We have 3 acres of land and hiking trails behind our home for long walks and a stream for swims. I am a registered nurse and work from my home, I am available to your dog 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I've had dogs my entire life and couldn't imagine a life without one. I have housesat and cared for friends and families dogs throughout my life. I promise to make your dog feel like they're part of our family while they are in our care.

Our elderly dog recently stayed with Valerie and her family for the second time. He was there for eleven days this time and Valerie did a wonderful job taking care of him. She took remarkable care of him, even though Harley is blind and losing his hearing. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a fantastic dog sitter.

This was Max’s first week with Valerie and he loved it!! We enjoyed receiving pictures and notes on how he was doing. He loved playing with Valerie’s dog and getting special hugs from her family. We will definitely use her again!!!

Simon and Houdini had a fabulous stay while I was on my cruise. She sent me pictures of the dogs playing and sleeping. They were healthy and happy no medical incidents...All the pictures showed how relaxed and comfortable the dogs were in her home...No need to worry....

Information Valerie M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is toy or food protective, how they interact with other dogs, if they have any anxious habits, if they are spayed or neutered, and what I can do to make your dogs stay with us great. I need to know that dogs are up to date on their vaccinations and if they are treated with flee and tick protection.

A typical day

I will take your dog on walks throughout our property and on hiking trails behind our home.
