About: With over five years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs — from energetic play sessions and long walks to quiet cuddle time. I’m experienced with basic training reinforcement, feeding schedules, bathing, and giving medication when needed. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. Available for house sitting any day of the week. On Mon–Wed, I won’t be at the home 24/7, but I’ll still provide regular check-ins, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and overnight stays as needed. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family — the same way I care for my own two fur babies, Romi (my sweet Schnauzer) and Mocha (my playful Yorkie). Every day, I make sure they get plenty of fresh water, nutritious meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, and walks that match their energy levels. We play, cuddle, and keep a routine that makes them feel secure and loved. I bring that same approach to every pet I look after — paying attention to their unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m mindful of safety on walks, keeping pets away from hazards and monitoring them closely around other animals. During pet sitting visits, I make sure your pet gets not just the basics, but also companionship, mental stimulation, and affection. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or staying overnight, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter while giving your pet all the love and care they deserve.
About: Hi there my name is Veronica! I have gained experience with a variety of dog breeds over the last couple of years. I have done a few drop ins for friends and family while they are away on trips. I am a mom of two and have a Havanese Dog myself his name is Arlo and he is really my third child, he’s clingy and needy only with me 🥰 I am currently working part time so when scheduled ahead of time i can prioritize your fur baby’s care! Mornings work better but i can also do afternoon drop ins. If 3 drop in visits are necessary i can provide that as well. By making sure to give your fur baby all of my attention and love first! Keeping them comfortable and safe is my priority. I prefer not to do walks until i have established a trustworthy relationship with your baby.
