I am home full time to be company

Pet care experience

I am a retired Psychologist and have total flexibility to meet the schedule that you desire for your lovable dog or cat. I do not have any pets, so there is no concern about your dog or cat getting along with others, especially because I take only one animal at a time. Your pet will get personalized care and attention. Let's talk about your needs and if your dog or cat would be well-suited to the care that I can offer. I love all breeds of dogs and cats. I am an experienced house sitter, walker and boarder through Rover as my reviews testify. I will come to your home for care or walks, or you can bring your pet to my home. I am very flexible in terms of my schedule and can walk your dog frequently. 🐕 🐩 I care for pets when I live in the Indian Canyons area in South Palm Springs in the winter, and in Uptown in Minneapolis during the rest of the year. Since I take only one pet at a time and without any animals or children in my home, you don’t have to worry if your pet will get along with another dog or with kids.

Velma was fantastic with our labradoodle, Snoop. He is anxious when he arrives at new places but he felt right at home and snuggled with Velma in no time! Thank you for keeping us updated with pictures and giving me peace of mind with our little guy.

Velma took great care of our Cavapoo. She sent notes everyday and pictures. It was reassuring being away knowing our pup was in good care. Thanks Velma!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences, and I can make sure to accommodate those. I am very familiar with dogs who have separation anxiety.

I can get your dog out throughout the day for walks and the chance to smell the world and see other leashed dogs out on walks.
