TEAM
I go by Valentino, but mom has twenty other names for me. I am all about the party where I live in Beverly Hills with my besties. My job is to help mom with inspiration and pose all day in photoshoots or toy test with my besties.
I am one of Valentino’s Besties and ball obsessed. I helped inspire the colorful dog ball idea and am one of the main toy testers, I am the terminator and know how to rip out the heart of a toy. So, they brought me in as the “Expert.” I also do modeling on the side.
I am one of Valentino’s besties and bring the party everywhere I go in Hollywood. When I am not modeling in New York, Paris, or Milan, I am toy testing with Valentino or spending my days at the spa getting highlights or posing for the paparazzi.
Hi, I’m Carol – Founder of Valentino Pet Paws and Proud Dog Mom
I’m a Texas girl at heart who lived the fast-paced New York City life, but now I’ve happily settled into the sunshine of Beverly Hills—where long walks, great coffee, and time with my dog Valentino are the highlights of my day.
Valentino, my sweet (and wildly energetic) Sheepadoodle, is the inspiration behind everything at Valentino Pet Paws. Before I brought him home, I had no idea what “herding breed” really meant. Spoiler: it means constant motion, endless energy, and a need for real mental and physical stimulation. I tried everything—but nothing quite matched his level of play.
So, I got creative.
I designed a rotating outdoor tug pole that spins 360° with changeable attachments like ropes, balls, and tires. It became our daily go-to—keeping Valentino engaged, happy, and (let’s be honest) a little less destructive indoors. I also created a 3-in-1 ball toy that’s part fetch, part tug-of-war, and part shake toy—with fun, flappy ribbons that dogs love. It encourages movement, play, and socialization in a way that’s simple, beautiful, and effective.
At Valentino Pet Paws, we believe dog toys should do more than just entertain—they should help you bond, communicate, and share joyful moments with your pet. Every product we create is designed with intention, style, and love.
Whether you're in a high-rise, a cozy home, or (like me) soaking up the sun in Beverly Hills, our goal is to make life a little easier—and a lot more fun—for you and your furry family member.
We’re here to support your journey together—one tug, zoomie, and tail wag at a time.
