Val’s Dog Walk

Val is great! He’s been walking our dog, Bayou for two years now. He has also stopped by to check-​in on our cat if we’re gone for the weekend. Will change the litter, give fresh water, and attention. Val is very reliable. He has never let us down! Would def. recommend!

I’ve used Val’s services for cat sitting for the past year. He’s very trust worthy, punctual, and truly loves animals. Highly recommended!

Val is terrific. Always accommodating of hectic schedules and I trust him with my pup completely. He goes above and beyond expectation to give extra attention to the animals, and after every walk my dog is happy and relaxed. I’d recommend him to anybody.

Val is amazing!!! I have a small terrier mixed I rescued over 8 years ago with a difficult personality (she doesn’t like too many people) She met Val and instantly loved him. I am an over protective dog mom and Val made me feel comfortable from the minute I met him. He was reliable, professional and was great with last minute request. His rates were affordable and he was just all around excellent. I have never boarded her and hardly leave her alone with anyone. He would text me after her walk each time to let me know she was ok and what she did, which always reassured me that she was in great hands. I would recommend Val to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

Val is amazing! He walked our dogs for a year. He was the first dog walker we had, mostly because we didn’t trust any of them past the interview! At night when I would walk the dogs and we would see Val in the park, our 2 dogs would both run to him. It was a such a great feeling to know that they truly did like him. Last summer we fostered a dog for a little while and Val was amazing with him as well. We had 3 large dogs in our apartment and he was able to keep them all walked and calm. When it was ridiculously hot out, he wouldn’t keep them outside in the heat the entire time but got them some exercise and then would play with them inside, I was so impressed with this that he sincerely cared about their safety but didn’t short-​change them on interaction. He even played a little with our cats. He seems to have an unspoken connection with pets that is so amazing. Highly recommend Val for any pet services!

Two days before my vacation, I was left with out a cat sitter for my two furry friends. In a panic I began a search and was referred to Val. Lucky for me, he was available! I instantly felt completely at ease during our consultation and trusted that my kitties would be in good hands with him. While away, he sent text updates on how they were doing and even watered my plant for me. I was told in a text that my incredibly shy cat even actually came out to meet him during one of his visits… which shocked me, because she never comes out for strangers! I was very happy to know they were comfortable with his visits. As mentioned in a previous post, his rates are lower than expected too. I definitely plan on using Val again and recommend him to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

I have 2 85-​pound golden retrievers and Val is a-​MAZING! They are rather rambunctous on walks and most dog walkers would prefer not to walk them. Not Val. He walks them, plays with them and even answers my many crazy dog mommy texts to see how they did after the walk. I am very picky with who can walk my dogs and Val is my go-​to guy! And his rates are amazing!

I needed a cat sitter on relatively short notice and I was put in touch with Val. He was able to meet me for a consultation very quickly and we made our arrangements. He was very friendly and professional. Val provided me with status updates as requested, which gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. His rates were actually lower than I was expecting ($ 15/​day).
The whole experience was great and I would definitely use Val again and recommend him to anyone in need of a pet sitter/​dog walker.
