I recently graduated from medical school and am looking for pet caregiving gigs before starting residency. As such, I have wide availability. Please reach out! While I am not good for daily walks, intermittent walks and pet services are things I can do. I am able to work with you to determine a schedule that will best suite your pet and their care needs :) I promise to give your pet 110% of my effort and attention when I am with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat my clients’ homes as I would my own: respectfully to maintain privacy and cleanliness. Your home will be found in better condition that you left it

Information Veena H. would like to know about your pet

- No breed, size preferences - I would like to know about your pet's special needs ahead of time - When booking, tell me about their typical routine so I can match it and keep them as happy as possible while you're away - Please let me know if your dog is leash reactive, an escape artist, sneaky about getting into garbage etc etc

A typical day

I like to walk about the neighborhood - I'm particular to walking around MB Park! With your permission, I'll take dogs to the local dog park. If your pup is a couch potato, I’m just as happy spending time with them in the comfort of their home.

Who let the dogs out?! I did

Pet care experience

Recently graduated from medical school and using my last month before residency to visit all the cute pups and cats of the suburbs! I grew up in a dog friendly home with up to 2 dogs at any given time. Cats and dogs are my favorite animals; I wish I could have my own! Dogs: tell me what you need. I am active, attentive, and detail-oriented. If your dog needs a run, we'll run. If they're a slower walker, then slow walks it is. If your pup is a couch potato and only needs some attention and snuggles, we will certainly do that. I have extensive experience caring for cats of all personalities. From feedings, scooping litter boxes, play time, and administering medication, I can do it. When watching your cat, my priority is their safety and spending time with them so they aren't lonely while you're away. During grad school, I took an Animal Sciences course. Thus, I am comfortable administering medicines (including injections) to your pet, as needed. Diabetic pet? No problem! Please contact me directly if you'd like references from current clients who I assist with pet medication administration. I look forward to the opportunity of taking care of your fur baby! Thank you for your consideration.

Veena was amazing with our 3 geriatric lady cats. She provided us with great pictures and updates on their well being and medication administration. We knew our cats were in great hands and this let us relax and enjoy our trip. We would definitely book her again.

Veena is so great with our two cats. They are different personalities with different food needs and Veena always takes such good care of them and she’s so thorough with her updates. We are never worried when we go out of town!
