I couldnt be happier with the exceptional care provided by Paws and Peace of Mind, owned by Valerie. Leaving my dog, Sadie, in someone elses hands always made me nervous, but Valeries professionalism and genuine love for animals put me at ease from the start. During our initial meet-and-greet, she took the time to understand Sadies routine, preferences, and even her quirky habits, which showed her dedication to personalized care.Valeries attention to detail, reliability, and passion for dogs make Paws and Peace of Mind the best pet-sitting service Ive ever used. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter. Sadie gives her four paws up, and Ill definitely be booking with her again!

Valerie is one of the only people I trust to take care of my lab Goose. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders to know that Goose will be in the best hands when I am unable to be there to let him out. Valerie sends pictures and updates after each visits and feeds Goose if it’s his meal time. Valerie is always punctual and always makes sure to lock up before she leaves. Goose loves to spend time with her and that’s what matters most. I would highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is the best!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My listed prices are a base price, some things that can factor into price are drive distance, amount of animals, challenging behaviors, etc. I try to be fair and upfront with my pricing to ensure we are a good fit.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I require an in person meet & greet prior to scheduling service with your pet. I understand that finding the right person to watch your pets can be a challenge and I believe meeting and asking questions is the best way to find if we are a great match!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Ask them if they have insurance, what is their plan if your pet needs emergency care, do they care if you have cameras in your home, do they bring other people or pets to clients homes?
