Information Vera L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs—I’ll do my best to accommodate them. Also, kindly share whether your dog is potty trained and up to date on vaccinations.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy with plenty of playtime, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just exploring the neighborhood on long walks. For pups that enjoy socializing, we can visit the dog run in my building, and for those who prefer quiet time, I offer lots of cuddles, enrichment toys, and a calm, cozy space to relax. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Vera was a great sitter to sesame. She was extremely thorough, asked questions and very caring to sesame especially when it comes to his anxiety. Sesame seemed to get comfortable around Vera very quickly. Definitely recommend Vera

Melo stayed overnight with Vera for the first time, and it was a great experience! Over the two nights, she was attentive to his needs and kept me updated with regular check-ins, which I really appreciated. Melo also loved spending time with Mickey—such a sweet and adorable companion! I’d definitely trust Vera with Melo again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
