Information Valerie P. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is different, therefore they will all have different needs/wants. Please let me know anything and everything about your baby/babies, I want to make sure I do everything to make them feel comfortable.

A typical day

I will always treat your dog like my own. My dog is my child and I know your dog/s are yours and I will make sure to take care of them as I do mine. I love to run around outside, play, cuddle and give tummy rubs. I will feed your dog the same time and amount you feed them as usual. I will make sure they have water. I will also train them you would like.

Your pet is my pet

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Valerie Petty & I graduated from UIC in 2016 with a bachelors in Criminal Law & Justice. I am very outgoing and caring. I love animals more than anything. I had an 8 year old boxer who was with me starting at 6 months, she was my baby and best friend. Unfortunately she passed away October 5, 2018 from lymphoma. I now have three other dogs, Nugget, Delilah and Roo. Nugget was found and we adopted Delilah and Roo after fostering them. Nugget is a labrador retriever, rottweiler mix, Delilah is a boxer mix and Roo is an Amstaf mix. I have also grown up with cats, frogs, birds, hamsters, turtles and all types of reptiles. I love all different types of animals and love meeting new pets. I am allergic to cats and dogs but that has never stopped me from being around them! I promise to treat and care for them as my own. I try to help out as many families as I can but I have to make sure mine comes first! I will always make sure they get enough play time and attention, they can never have enough! Make sure they are always happy, feel loved and taken care of! Pet care is my other job I love! I don't really have a day off which I don't mind, if I'm not with my babies I'm with others. I make sure I keep your pet on schedule as best I can. I will give them the best care possible, their happiness is mine!

Valerie was amazing! We’ve got a parrot, cat , fish, and a dog ( a very dramatic one). We came home the house was clean and most importantly the furred , feathered, and scaled kids were obviously well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Valerie is great with our temperamental kitty! She is very reliable and we have no worries as long as we are on vacation! We will always book with her as long as she is available.

Valerie always takes exceptional care of our pet. There is no one we would rather have care for her.
