Availability
Someone is home at all time of day, so when I’m hosting your fur-iend for boarding or doggie daycare, they never will be without snuggles, playtime, and potty breaks! When I stay at your house with your pet, I do work out of the house Monday - Friday so I am gone from 6am-4pm. I know that can be a long time for some pets, so I like to be open about my schedule in advance.

About Valerie S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Having experience with dogs who like to get in to all of the things they aren't supposed to, I have learned how to pet-proof my house by keeping trash cans closed, picking up food/items that pets should not get in to, and keeping security cameras in my unit to check on the pets' safety while I am out of the house.
Home
Information Valerie S. would like to know about your pet
Before watching your dog, it would be helpful to know their lifestyle (sedentary vs active), how they react to being around new people/animals, and any other important notes about how to interact with your dog (ex: are they leash aggressive?, food aggressive?, anxious, etc.)
A typical day
I like to take dogs out for long walks (for my benefit and theirs!) and exploring new neighborhoods and areas. I’ve been to dog parks and dog beaches and love to play with toys with dogs of all ages and sizes. I also enjoy long snoozes on the couch with all of the furry snuggles I can get.

Lifelong dog owner & lover!
Pet care experience
My family and I have owned dogs for my entire life, there has never been a day in my life that I have not had a dog around, from small dogs to medium and large sized dogs. I am used to pets ranging from passive and relaxed, to dogs with anxiety and possession, and I find the unique ways to interact with each pet respectively. I have a 12lb Cockapoo, Badger, who I also have with me for any pet that I will be boarding or doing doggie daycare for. It’s always nice for them to have fellow furry friends to spend time with! I am used to different harnesses and leashes and feel comfortable working with dogs of all ages and sizes.
Reviews
Wishbone is excited to go to Valerie’s and practically pulls us to the door when we drop him off. She always sends lots of pictures and updates. It makes any trip so much better to know he is safe and very well cared for while we’re away.
We love for Wishbone to stay with Valerie. She always sends pictures of what he is up to and we feel very comfortable knowing that he is so well taken care of.
Always a great sleepover with Badger! My pup is always happy to see them and has a great time
Redford always loves his time with Badger and family. He is always so happy and is treated very well
