Pet care experience

I’ll run with your dog!

My name is Val, and I’m crazy about pets! I will treat your pet like my own family member, giving him or her lots of special attention. I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat and bird. I work full-time; however, I am available evenings and weekends to give away lots of puppy and kitty love. I have given my dog oral medication and have extra experience with cat medication that can translate to more difficult dogs. Thank you for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

Valerie was just wonderful with my puppies. Very patient and attentive to higher demands of very young & not yet trained dogs. Couldn’t be happier with her service.

Valerie is always available and willing to go that extra mile. We so appreciate everything she does for our fur baby who is reactive to other dogs and still manages to go on multiple walks per day!!!
