Valarie & a happy pal
Hi, I'm Valarie.
I've spent 10 years grooming dogs in all kinds of places: salons, corporations and vet clinics. Along the way I learned what makes a visit great, and what doesn't.
Val's Pals is my way of doing it right. My goal is to build trust with every client, provide quality services, and make every visit a positive, fulfilling experience for your pet.
can't wait to meet your pal!
