Valerie Responsible & Caring

I have experience from dogs & cats to taking care of horses, for over 20 years. Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I own one dog and I also foster for Rescuer's Without Boarders. I am willing to take dogs from any age to any training level. Animals are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Your best friend will be treated as part of the family. Dogs are kept on leashes and harnesses (as owner prefers). Dogs are supervised at all times outside and inside. I can crate your dog as needed or preferred.

Valerie did such a great job taking care of my pet. She even sent me pictures and updates. I was little nervous as she had a larger older pet in the home but she made sure my CoCo was comfortable. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.

Valerie took great care of our big babygirl! She was very flexible, taking her a night early at the last min, and she was incredibly attentive noticing a skin issue on her front legs, frequently communicating and sending pics. Thank you so much Valerie!

Always great to my dog Nash. He is super high energy and can be a handful at times but Valerie always knows how to handle him. Nash loves her and if you’re looking for a great, trustworthy sitter, definitely book with Valerie!
