Pet care experience

I love dogs. Your pet will be loved

I love dogs. I have owned dogs most of my life. Small dogs are my specialty. I am able to care for dogs up to 30 pounds. I currently spend time with my granddog. She loves her grammy. I have a nice apartment in a quiet complex. Your pet would be treated like my own. I can walk, care for your pet at my place or yours, day care and overnights. I would love to meet you and your pet. Reasonable rates.

As usual, Velma is responsive, flexible and so kind! She is one of very few people I trust with my pup! I appreciate the photos and updates she sends me so much!

Velma was the answer to our prayers! We received daily updates and photos. Knowing she was there allowed us to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommended!

Velma connected with Maverick right away and we could see he was well cared for. We will definitely use her again.

Velma is always a great housesitter/dogsitter. She goes above and beyond what is asked. I know I can leave home without worrying about my ancient, little dog and his care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a nice apartment on the ground floor. There is a designated dog area. I will also walk your dog as needed. If I care for your dog in your home, I will be ready to follow his/her routine. Safety is my priority. I will not engage in activities that would put your dog at risk. I always treat them like family.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs such as hide and seek, playing fetch,walks, lots of cuddles. I can discipline a dog with a firm, gentle voice. There is also a dog park close by that I could take your dog for free play.
