"Love them as if they were mine!"

Pet care experience

I have a degree in Animal and Agriculture Science from Texas A&M University. I have been taking care of dogs and other animals since I was little. My neighbors also rely on me from time to time to look after and take care of their pets as well.

Valerie is the best! She took great care of our dog who normally won’t follow anyone but family around. I could tell Pepper looked forward to their visit everyday.

Information Valerie R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or if they take medicine. It would also be good to know if you dog is aggressive at all and if so what? Ex: food aggression, kids, other dogs. Also if your dog is spayed or nurtured.

A typical day

I love to take my own dogs for hikes at Buescher State Park and Riverbend Park. If they like the water I can also take them to the river or the state park to swim. I have a huge yard that we could play fetch in as well.
