I've been an avid animal lover my entire life, which is what led me to open The Pet Valet! I've been a pet mom to horses, cats and a turtle named Shubert. My current furry kids are my feisty cat, Buster Fang and Black Olive, Queen of the Couch.
I originally landed in Denver for an internship at Denver Zoo where I worked with all kinds of animals from giraffes and warthogs to rhinos and large cats.
Animals are my passion and I am happy to provide a caring and reliable service for the pet parents of Denver!

Hi, my name is Ed. I am a dog-lover at heart, but I’m discovering the joys of cat companionship & I’ve made a number of new feline friends through my work with The Pet Valet!
I came to Denver by way of Seattle, WA. I originally found The Pet Valet as a client. Once I retired, I knew I wanted to fill my time with dogs and pets. Louie, pictured above, was my heart dog and he sadly past away at the end of 2020. Paco is my new boy and I have to say, he’s a little jealous of the time I spend away with everyone else’s pets! I give him plenty of love and copious walks when I am home!

I joined The Pet Valet Pack in 2020. I am from Denver so I know the area very well. I spent my youth playing in the backyards of many of our clients' neighborhoods! I have vast pet care experience, and even worked as a kennel attendant at the Mile High Greyhound track during its heyday. I am happy to be back caring for pets again. Walking your canine besties is the highlight of my day!
Our History
For the love of animals
The Pet Valet was started by its pack leader, Aubrey Schwenk, in 2002. Originally a mid-western native, she came to Colorado after obtaining a B.S. in Biology from Doane College.
Upon her arrival, Aubrey interned at the Denver Zoo where she gained experience with all levels of animal husbandry. While her primary responsibilities were in the bird department raising penguin and flamingo chicks, Aubrey worked with all kinds of animals from hoof stock to wart hogs, rhinos to large cats.
Once Aubrey realized what a pet loving community the Denver area is, she knew she wanted to return to her previous passion – pet sitting. Her desire to bring personal, reliable, affordable and loving pet care to the Denver area led her to create The Pet Valet, Inc.
