Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggie retreat with grassy yard
🥰 I have been obsessed with animals from birth, and the first love of my life was a Dalmatian I had as a child, then a mutt (Collie and lab mix) I adopted as an adult. Since then I've always loved hosting my friends' pets when they go away. I have a big grassy yard and work from home a lot, which means I spoil my pets and it's a constant love fest at my house. I currently have a rescued cat and little dog, and we are all looking forward to making new furry friends! I believe playing and exercising dogs often is the key to their happiness and health and I enjoy taking them on long daily walks in addition to play time in the yard. My friends tell me their dogs get excited when they see they're coming to my house! IMPORTANT: For everyone's safety, a copy of vet records (shots) must be provided at the meet and greet and all furry guests must be flea protected! ;-) Please note: Early or late drop off or pick-up (before 8 am and after 10 pm) for either boarding or day care costs $ 20 extra. Boarding rates are for 24 hours. After a grace period of a couple of hours, any difference between the drop-off time and pick-up time will result in extra charges being applied by Rover. Day care is up to 12 hours. Also please note that puppies under 1 year old will be boarded for a special rate listed on my profile.

Ratings and reviews
Louie had a lovely time on Valerie’s garden!
Valery was wonderful with Markie and Coco. She provided them a home away from home in her cozy little oasis. I wish she was close enough to provide all my dog sitting, but I shall certainly ask her any time I’m in the LA area. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.
Valerie is incredibly caring and knowledgeable about dog care. Olive is timid, and she seemed to really warm up to Valerie. Would highly recommend!
My dog had a great time at Valerie’s house! She sent me tons of pictures of him playing in her yard and going for a long walk. I booked his stay with her only a couple days in advance and she was very accommodating. Would definitely take him back to her
I’ve said it before, Valerie is the one I trust with my sweet Lucy. She is the very best!
Every time I need Rover for Lucy, I immediately see if Valerie is available. She takes care of all her Rover pets as if they are her own.

Schedule
I work a lot from home and I have lots of free time. I love taking care of cats, dogs, and any other animal that needs me.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large grassy yard with quite a few trees, ideal for dogs to run around and chase a ball. I treat all my guests like my own pet, and I want the best for all my fur babies.

A typical day
A day of boarding includes lots of playtime in the yard (we go in and out numerous times during the day) and one long walk in the neighborhood (40 min to 1 hour) .but I can give extra walks for an additional fee. I like to vary the walks around my neighborhood so I choose a different route every day so that nobody gets bored.
