Meet the Sitter: Valerie in White Lake!

By

Valerie’s White Lake Boarding Home strikes the perfect balance of play and peace and is ideal for pups who love to run, roam, and relax. Whether your dog’s high-energy or a total couch snuggler, they’ll feel right at home here.

Looking for the perfect mix of cozy and active for your pup’s next getaway? Valerie’s White Lake Boarding Home offers just that — a peaceful, welcoming space where dogs can truly feel at home.

Her charming ranch-style house features a spacious, fenced-in yard ideal for fetch sessions and zoomies, plus quiet retreats like spare bedrooms and a finished basement for pups who crave calm and downtime. Whether your dog is high-energy or lowkey, Valerie makes sure every guest gets the space, pace, and attention they need.

Working from home means Valerie is hands-on and fully present, giving your pup plenty of walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. She started dog sitting over six years ago and quickly became a trusted go-to for families looking for loving, attentive care. While she doesn’t currently have a dog of her own, she treasures the companionship of each pup who visits and it shows.

Outside of pup care, Valerie is a garden-loving, yoga-practicing, pottery-making bookworm with a deep love for Michigan history and her Ukrainian roots (she’s also fluent in Russian!). Her calm energy, dog-savvy experience, and thoughtful setup make her one of our most beloved hosts.

Whether your dog’s idea of a perfect day is sunbathing in the yard or exploring the neighborhood on a long walk, they’ll be in excellent hands with Valerie.
