Information Valerie S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any allergies or behaviors I need to know about! Let me know if any special routine your dog needs or likes to follow.

A typical day

I will play tennis ball, tug of war, or even a fun game of hide a seek with your pup. I will get their enraged out so they can take their pup naps and be ready for their next visit or your arrival home!

Pet care experience

I provide loving and fun care! I have my own dog so I am experienced with dogs. I am familiar with what to do with anxious or aggressive dogs. I have been caring for dogs for over 12 years now, walking and dropping by! Dogs are my favorite animal so I truly love caring for them. I know how to feed and administer medication if needed. I can walk your dog for as long of a walk as you would like and where you would like if there is a path you prefer. I love playing with dogs to make sure they are happy with me visiting them. I give belly rubs and play tug of war. Whatever your dog's favorite game is I’ll play it! :)

Valerie did a meet and greet, my dog really liked her, and all the visits went great! She was responsive and sent plenty of photos

Valerie is fantastic! From the moment she came to meet Charley, we knew we’d found the right person. She’s kind, reliable, and great with Charley—who warmed up to her right away. We’re so happy we connected with her and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future.

Valerie really did a great job and was patient working with Finn. He can sometimes be a bit stubborn wanting to keep playing outside but she did so great getting him in and out. She’s very kind and punctual and worked well with our high energy pup.
