Information Valerie R. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with other dogs? Is your pet on any medication? How are they on walks? Does your dog have any fears? (Such as vacuums, thunder) Does your pet get along with kids ages 1 to 5?

A typical day

We will take walks in the neighborhood or nearby parks. We have lots of toys to play with, a large yard to run around in, and a comfy couch and bed where your fur baby can cuddle and relax.

We love dogs & making new friends

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life and have love them all. My recent dog just passed on October 19th and I miss having a dog around the house. I welcome your fur babies into my loving home and will take care of them as my own. I love taking pics and going for walks. Check out our pictures to see all our happy faces. Please contact if you would like a home away from home for your fur family member. Can't wait to meet you! I have a home preschool so I am home all day during the week. Morning and evening walks available. Day/Nights available. Flexible schedule on weekends. I have a fenced yard as well as an open area of the yard. We are also across the street from Joyner Park where we go frequently if you allow your pet to be transported.

Valerie was quick to respond to messages and answered questions I had. We did a meet and greet in the driveway before our dogs stay, but weren’t invited in then or at drop off/pick up. She reached out asking if our dog was good with others, since another family had an emergency or she would keep the dogs separate. Our dog and the other one got along great and had fun playing! She does run a daycare so keeps the dogs separate during the day, which isn’t a huge deal but was hoping our guy would get little more attention during the day. Asked for daily walks as our dog has a moderate level of energy but unsure if that occurred. We got a few pictures throughout the week, maybe one every other day, had to check in mid week to see how our dog was doing. Overall a good stay, wish there was a bit more communication.

Valerie was the perfect sitter for Neo. After meeting her, we knew this was the place for him. She sent pictures daily and reassured us that he was in good care. Neo was in good spirits when he came back home instead of being lethargic and moping around as in times past from other sitters! We hit the jackpot with Valerie and would definitely recommend her. Our hope is that she is able to be Neo’s go to sitter in the future.

We feel Mazie had a great time staying with Valerie being able to hang out and swim.
