Pet care experience

Fun-loving, active pet-parent

I am a mom of two dogs myself - a 7 year old australian shepherd-poodle mix named Waldo, and a 1 year old, Glen, of the same breed. Glen is deaf, so I’ve learned a lot about how to communicate and interact with him this past year. My life has been wonderfully impacted with my 4-legged kiddos. I am familiar with all types of dogs - from puppies to seniors, I will certainly provide the tailored care your animal's needs. With years of experience, I can personalize your visit to best suit the personality and lifestyle of your dog(s). As a working professional and a mother to a couple of human children, I get that dog parents occasionally need a break, sometimes need help, and certainly need someone they trust to help watch over their little one when they aren't able. Life gets busy, and I would be honored to assist.

Sansa was in good shape and back to normal in no time. An older dog, she needs lots of TLC. Valerie provided that with a walk, too.

Val and her family are amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking (twice) & I am so grateful for that! Coco was right at home with them & she kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos! I definitely recommend her and i’m super happy I found her!

Valerie was so great and helpful on such short notice! She treated Max as one of her own and sent photos of him playing with her Aussie Doodles! He got plenty of walks, many a treats, and lots of TLC from Valerie and her family. She was so kind and sent the sweetest updates. You can definitely tell she has a love for sharing her heart with our babies. Would 10000/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a trusty home. Thank you, Valerie!!

Does your dog know any commands? Do you have any specific rules you play by when going on a walk? (i.e.: The dog should sit prior to re-entering the house, the dog shouldn't pull at the leash, etc.)
