Valerie’s Pet Service

After multiple other daycare and boarding facilities left me concerned about the level of care and competence, I was recommended to Valerie’s — — that was 4 years ago and I would not even consider leaving my dog any where else! Valerie simply knows how to handle dogs better than anyone I have seen, understands their needs and runs her business accordingly. I travel frequently for business and I am grateful I found what is truly a second home for my dog. I trust her completely — - and she has given me excellent guidance that improved my skills and knowledge as a dog owner. It just doesn’t get better than Valerie.

I have used Valerie now for nearly 16 years, first for almost 13 and now 3 years with my current dog. She was recommended to me by my vet, so I consider that a great recommendation. I can only say that it is the level of trust that I have that keeps me coming back, and makes her so highly regarded in the animal care community. Regardless of any special needs of my dogs, at any age, I know they will be taken care of with affection, knowledge, consistency and good humor. When dogs come home happily tired, you know they have been active so I must refute the previous reviewer. Nick is great, too. Long story short, I know my dog is with people who genuinely love animals and know how to care for them. I don’t know what I’d do without this place.

Valerie is a delight to work with. While it seems a tiny bit pricey (I pay $ 18 per visit with my two cats – pretty standard in this area), it’s not when you consider what you’re getting.
She is considerate and caring, and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my kitties with her (as much as I hate leaving them!). The best part is Valerie doesn’t bat an eyelash at whatever preposterous instructions you leave with her. One of my cats is a finicky eater, so I have a comical song-​and-​dance routine that I have to go through every morning to get both boys fed before I leave. I left instructions after explaining over the phone, and she was happy to do it! I know if I had a friend try to do it, I couldn’t trust them to give that level of care, and I’d feel weird even asking.
Long story short, if you want the best care, I’d trust Valerie. As with many things, I’m sure you could find cheaper somewhere (Craigslist), but you’ll get what you pay for.

Valerie and Nick are awesome!
I bring all four of my angels here and they love her.
One of my dogs is special needs (Hi Cuba!) and they go out of their way to take great care of him.
I am always worried about my babies when I go out of town but knowing they are with Valerie, I can sleep at night.

Whoever wrote the negative review of Valerie’s must have some personal issue with her, Valerie’s is great. She took great care of my three cats while I was vacation, and that is no easy task. One of my cats is on a special diet, I have had problems in the past with making sure he gets fed correctly, and he did great. The last time I had a friend feed my baby boy he ended up sick for weeks, (he has bladder and tummy problems). She also made sure their litter boxes stayed fresh and watered my plants. My brother’s dog stayed at Valerie’s in the past and had a wonderful time. I know that if Valerie is caring for my pets I don’t need to worry. I would and have recommend her to everyone I know that needs dog walking, cat care and doggie daycare. Everyone I know who uses her loves her and so do their pets!

I have been a loyal client of Valerie’s Pet Service for over 11 years. I would not send my dogs anywhere else. They are treated as family and my dogs absolutely love her and her staff. The facility is clean, safe and fun. In addition, when my younger dog was a puppy, Valerie walked him every day during the work week. It is so wonderful to have someone that you can really trust with both your pets and your house. Her prices are very fair and the accommodations for the dogs is very comfortable. If you are looking for complete peace of mind, this is the place. You can travel worry free knowing that your pets are in the best of hands.
