Meet the Dog Parent

“My name is Vely and I’m a dog mom to Wilson, Astrid, Korben and Roxy. After rescuing
Wilson I learned through Youtube and social media on how to be the best dog owner as well as how to train him that I discovered working with dogs is my passion. In 2021 I started my own pet sitting and trick training business called Woofin’ Stars. With patience and consistency, I believe all dogs have the potential to exceed. I’ve exposed my dogs Wilson and Astrid to all types of outdoor adventures, which has opened doors that I never thought were possible. Our followers on Instagram have motivated me to provide training tips and I have helped many dog parents along the way. My dogs are athletes and super smart, which has helped boost my level of confidence in training. Currently, I’m studying to become a professional dog trainer and plan to make it my life’s career.”
