Dedicated to Elevated Pet Care

We founded Dogs of Valnova to meet the growing need for reliable dog walking and a trusted option for in‑home pet and house sitting. After retiring from the federal government, we fell in love with Idaho—and Valnova in particular—and knew we wanted to build something meaningful within this community.

Our passion for dogs, combined with nearly 50 years of collective experience in federal law enforcement, military service, continuity of operations, emergency response, and program management, allows us to deliver an exceptional level of care, safety, and reliability. We bring the same professionalism, preparedness, and attention to detail to our pet care services that defined our federal careers.

We have experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, and we take the time to listen carefully to each pet parent and understand every dog’s unique needs. Those standards of care are consistently applied in every interaction, every visit, and every walk.

We are deeply committed to the safety and well‑being of your dog, the security of your home, and the trust of our neighborhood. We look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted partner in the happiness, health, and comfort of your dog(s).
