Zen Doggy Retreat

Pet care experience

Hi there - I'm Valerie! I am a Navy wife and I have lived in San Diego for 14 years. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant. My husband and I have a great home with a large fenced yard here in beautiful North Park, close to the Zoo, Balboa Museums and 5 lovely dog parks! My dogs, Jenna and Laddie, love going with me on my 'urban hikes' through our neighborhood along it's many designated canyon trails. My husband and I love animals and have been around dogs all of our lives. My husband says that he wants 10 of our own dogs to greet him when he comes home from work - I told him we will need more room!! So until then, we both get great joy and satisfaction from taking care of all the wonderful variety of puppies that we sit and also lending a hand to fellow dog parents! I can't wait to meet you and I am excited about being a Premier sitter with Rover!

Hands down the best dog sitter in San Diego. My dogs dread coming home. 😉

Valerie is great with Shadow, she really knows dog behavior and is helping Shadow make new friends and be more comfortable around new people and dogs.

Information Valerie O. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if you dog has any special needs so I can give them all the care they need! I would also like to know their temperament and how they get along with other dogs.

A typical day

Exercise, Discipline, Affection!! Your dogs age, temperament and energy level will dictate our activities together. Whether it's a dog beach day or just a laying on the puppy couch kind of day, you can be sure that your dog will get the exercise and attention they need. I am also very mindful of your comfort level as a puppy parent. Let me know what you expect for your baby - for example, if you would prefer that I limit their exercise to my home and yard or if you are happy for them to join me and the pups on our daily outdoor excursions. At the end of the day, all of the pups sleep outside under my large covered patio on their own personal Coolaroo doggy hammock and pillow. If your dog has special needs or just does not do well sleeping outside we are happy to accommodate them inside in our comfy doggy room (see pics!) Of course, if it gets chilly outside, everybody gets to use the doggy room!
