!!! Doggie ADVENTURES included !!!

Pet care experience

Howdy!!! Doggie ADVENTURES included!!! (Please scroll thru pics) I've been lucky enough to have worked with dogs for over a dozen years. your pup will go home exhausted, GUARANTEED! (*exclusion - pointers!!!) I have my OWN INSURANCE that covers the pups at my house and while on adventures. Typical day 9am adventure home by 1pm. Then we all nap and or play in my large yard for the remainder of the day. I've got 3 pups of my own!! (2 seniors and a new energetic pup) During quarantine, because there weren't enough pups to love coming thru my door... i rehabbed/fostered/adopted out 5 cattle dogs. 4 of which are still in my life!! I keep my home clean and clutter-free, I have a large fenced in yard, doggie doors, and lots of love to give. When I'm not caring for dogs I'm either sewing, gardening or remodeling an old airstream in the backyard . For 40+ years, my life has been better because I've been lucky enough to always have the companionship of dogs.

Ruger always has a blast with Valeska! She sends lots of pics and he always comes home exhausted :)

Valeska was great as always. Our pup hasn’t moved an inch since picking him up because he’s so exhausted from playing.

Our dog is always so happy to be at Valeska’s and we trust how well she takes care of her. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Availability

Hours of operation 7am-7pm DROP OFF - between 7-9am we jump in my astro van and leave for park @ 9am (earlier on weekends to avoid crowds) we're home by 1ish. PICK UP - between 1-7pm (we go to bed really early around here) please book your flights accordingly Years ago, when i was just starting out, without a schedule/hours... it was an unsustainable model of business. people would want to pick up their dogs at 1am bc of delayed flights, or dogs would get dropped off at noon after i've exhausted the rest of the pack; a pup coming in with 100% energy and my whole day would start all over again. Over the years i've figured out a perfect schedule that fit the pups and didn't burn me out... it allows me to continue to do what i love. Hope you can understand, I'm a one woman show and needed to create boundaries to continue to be there for all of your babies!
