Pet care experience

The Dog Whisperer

I’m known for my calm demeanor, quick communication, and ability to read a dog’s mood like a book. For over 7 years, I’ve provided professional pet care and volunteer service through local shelters in addition to a lifetime of pet care before that. I feel confident in providing Pawsitive vibes as I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, anxious pups, tri-pawds, conducted medication management and everything in between. If your pup needs a sitter who’s equal parts responsible and playful, I’m your person.

Valerie was great with my fur babies. I can tell when I picked them up that they were treated with care. I will definitely use Valerie again if I need services in the future.

Sunny is awesome! My Tennyson fell in love at first sight and sniff. Tennyson was so excited see her and he thoroughly enjoyed his walks and time spent with Sunny. She is very knowledgeable and will bring a sense calm to your FUR baby.

Valerie was very communicative about my pets daily activities and sent pictures everyday. I was very pleased with her professionalism and handling of my dog. This was the longest two weeks without my baby but Valerie made sure to always keep me informed. Would highly recommend

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like family. My home is secure, clean, and pet-friendly, directly next to a fenced yard and a peaceful atmosphere. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and can accommodate crate training, medication, or special routines.

A typical day

I tune into each dog’s vibe and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Every visit is a chance to build trust and joy.
