About: Hi all! My name is Veronica. I'm an Amherst College alumna ('17) and current 4th year med student (Dartmouth, Geisel School of Medicine '26). I spent my childhood in rural NY, TN, and VA with my grandparents and our dogs, cats, and parrot. In my household, animals were viewed as family, and were always treated as such. I've been taking care of/loving cats & dogs of all sizes (we have owned a daschund named Mr. Wiggles, an Irish Wolfhound named Hobbs, a collie named Blue, to name a few) and ages (puppies to salt&pepper seniors) since I was 5. My partner and I are also proud cat parents to two bonded, adopted cats (Gaston & Basil). I have cared for several friends', neighbors', and strangers turned clients' cats and dogs while they were away/traveling! I hope to bring the same love, respect, and care to your pet that I show my own when you are not there. No pet is too small, too big, too silly, or too drooly for me! I will be based in New Haven, CT working on my residency application, research, and other personal projects with much free time in the upcoming year (2025-26). I am happy to house-sit your pet in your own home, be a dog-walker, or drop-in to feed/walk/play with your pet. For dog-walking & drop-in services, I would prefer if clients are within a 10-15 minute drive from New Haven, CT, though I will consider each request individually. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate dogs or cats in my own apartment.
About: With a genuine love for animals and years of experience, I provide attentive and compassionate care for your furry friends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pets! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for walks, feeding, and play, ensuring each pet gets the attention they need. This consistent routine allows me to provide high-quality care while balancing other responsibilities. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. In my home, I maintain a secure, clean space with pet-friendly amenities. When in clients’ homes, I follow their routines and safety guidelines, ensuring pets feel at ease and cared for in familiar surroundings.
