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.
“Highly recommend Liza. Dog lover, very professional, excellent attention to detail, and very helpful.”
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.

“We had Pauline step in when our other rover person had to cancel last minute. Pauline was amazing! I didn’t worry once while I was away. She looked after my Labrador and Main Coon cat. My house was exactly how I left it when I got back. Pauline was great at sending me videos and pictures of my fur babies while she was pet sitting. We love Pauline and will definitely be booking her again. I actually think my pets would’ve preferred more time with her ?

Katelyn watched leo while we were away in Chicago for the weekend! Super communicative and accommodating. Above and beyond, thank you so much!!!
Lexi was great!very communicative and friendly with both me and the dogs! I’ve already booked her again!
Once again, Zoe was wonderful with our two pups! She provided photos and updates, and took great care of them while we were away.
She really took time to get to know my dogs and came back multiple times to try to familiarize herself to them prior to our trip . Her passion and love for dogs is palpable. She gave great updates with pictures and also concerns if they occurred . My dogs loved staying with her!
Marie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous to leave Brady, but Marie made it so easy! She updated us multiple times a day and was always communicative. She left our house spotless and maybe even a bit cleaner than we left it! We would recommend Marie to anyone!
Kristen is the best! She took amazing care of our dog and 2 cats (honestly even better than we do haha), and even vacuumed and cleaned the whole place before we got back. We arrived pretty late at night and she stayed up to keep our dog company. She goes above and beyond for your pets. Couldn't recommend enough.
Just absolutely amazing and incredibly kind and communicative and thoughtful. I could not be more grateful and in awe. Thank you thank you !!
Meghan was prompt, communicative, and flexible with our anxious pup. She sent us updates throughout the day and our dog was so excited to see her!
We definitely will be hiring her again! She was great with our “furry kids”, the house was spotless. The trash was taken out, the dishwasher had been ran. We recommend her!
Linden was great with our pups! She was very communicative and took great care of them. We would totally recommend her.
