About Valentina
My name is Valentina Obando, and my love for dogs has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a young girl, I have shared a deep bond with animals. A decade ago, my mother took the initiative to establish a shelter for stray dogs in Colombia. Inspired by her dedication, I decided to create and manage a team of volunteers who could contribute their efforts to the shelter's cause.
Five years ago, in collaboration with my sister, we founded a dog training company called @DogCrowd. Our services included personalized and group training classes, as well as the sale of interactive products designed to enhance dogs' cognitive development, among other offerings.
Three years ago, I completed my studies as a Bach Flower therapist for animals, an alternative therapy to support the emotional well-being in animals.
Throughout my journey, I have actively volunteered at dog foundations in Colombia, such as Voz Animal, and at vegan sanctuaries, like Juliana's Animal Sanctuary.
A year ago, I relocated to Ireland, and now I am eager to continue expanding my experience in the world of animals, which remains my greatest passion.
I live in Malahide in a spacious apartment with my partner and our dog Timon, a very friendly beagle. I provide the following services:
- Daytime care
- Overnight
- Walks in Malahide, Portmarnock, and Swords.
We are located close to the beach and Malahide Castle, so we have ideal areas for walking and will have all the attention and care to make your dog feel at home.
