The best care for your furry angels
Pet care experience
Hi!! My name is Valerie. My love for dogs started at a very young age. I spent my childhood growing up with a Boxer, Dachshund and Schnautzer. During my teen years we welcomed a Yellow Lab and a rescued black Kittie to our home. It was magical seeing how those two furry angels became inseparable. It melted my heart when they would share the same bed and cuddle together….awww! Throughout my College years, I took care of my roommate’s furry angels, Poseidon a Great Dane. Calie a Weimaraner and Rasta a Yorkie. Yes, this included potty training them, teaching them basic commands and a few tricks along the way. I spent the summers during college with my mom’s darling yellow lab, swimming and playing fetch in the lake. I also dedicated some of my time pet sitting and over nigh sitting for friends and neighbors. The special bond and deep connection I’ve had with dogs has allowed me to experience unconditional love, immense joy, healing and sense of peacefulness throughout the years. They are such a blessing! My love and dedication for furry angels, especially dogs, led me to pursue a Diploma as Animal Care Technician. Shortly after completing my diploma, I landed a job working with special needs children and adults and their canine companions. It brought tears to my eyes seeing the blessings that took place between the special needs children and adults and their canine companions. How the unconditional love and loyalty dogs provided brought about incredible healing and transformation to these children and adults. I have also worked as an animal care specialist at a doggie daycare and boarding center where I handled dogs of all sizes, ages, needs, and temperaments I’m currently in my third year pursuing a BA in Exercise Science and studying for my Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensing Courses. I also do Reiki and energy healing work with crystals and plan on completing a Reiki, energy healing practitioner certification for dogs and cats. I’m the proud momma of two adorable rescued kitties and a second momma to two of my mom’s adorable Scottie Terriers which I take on walks and play fetch on a regular basis. You can always trust and have peace of mind knowing that I will treat and care for your fur babies as if they were my own! Look forward to meeting you and your furry angels!

Well done Valerie! Thanks for taking suck good care of Huck and Marty.
Valerie is amazing with pets! She is kind, dependable and responsible and goes above and beyond to make myself and my furry baby feel loved, safe and taken care of! She is devoted to this work and I fully trust her with furry child and in my home! I highly recommend Valerie to any pet owner!
Valerie has been so wonderful to deal with. On our first meet my fur bub took an instant liking to her (I think he likes her more than me!) My work schedule varies so it has been such a relief to find someone who is able to find the time for my little one. I love the photo updates too, they really help get me through those long nights at the office. Highly recommended.
