Availability

As a realtor°I have a flexible schedule which allows me to work with you. Please Note: While I strive to maintain consistent visit times, exact arrival times cannot always be guaranteed due to travel between appointments and increased demand during holidays.: Visit times may shift slightly (15–60 minutes) depending on my schedule that day. I do my best to stay close to requested times and will always communicate any adjustments.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat my Oli. ❤️ Unfortunately I am not caring for pets in my home at this time but happy to come to yours to care for your pet. I only ask that I may bring my 10lb well behaved potty trained, dog Oliver with me.

Information Verona J. would like to know about your pet

I like having a routine schedule written out for me or included in the Rover app with thorough instructions. I will follow as instructed and if I have any questions I will ask. Please let me know if your pet has any allergies. For Drop Ins/Visits please let me know if you are flexible with your drop in times as there are days I am booked back to back. I like being on time so if you have time slots for me it makes it easier as I'm not rushing and can enjoy time with your pets! However, I do try to remain as consistent as possible with the visiting times.

A typical day

For Cats: I typically feed either dry/wet food or both, I clean the litter and sweep and clean area. I provide fresh water, play with favorites toys and/or give lots of pets, I can also help out with anything that needs to be done around the house, when leaving I like to leave a few treats if approved. For Dogs: there are so many things we can do depending on the age/energy of your pup. Some of the things we like to do are: go for long or short walks at the park, beaches, or just around the neighborhood. Hiking, dog parks, play fetch, picnic at the park/beach. At home we listen to nice relaxing jazz or piano music or watch DogTv. If there is anything I missed that you and your dog prefers please let me know!

Pet care experience

🏡 Please note for Housesitting: I can only accept bookings if my 10lb dog Oliver stays with me. He’s very well-trained, calm, and respectful of your home. He loves to play if you have a playful pup. ⭐️Flexible Scheduling & Pricing I’m happy to work with you on pricing depending on your needs—especially for multiple pets or multiple daily visits. Feel free to reach out so we can find something that works for you! I am a responsible, caring, honest and loving pet sitter. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! ❤️ I also foster when I can for Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego County. I have helped 4 pups find their forever home one being my foster fail 🥰 I have loved animals since I can remember. Growing up I had dogs, bunnies, cats, birds, goats, mice, rats and lizards. My mom told me that when I was a toddler I would run up to any dog throw my arms around them and laugh as they licked my face. So pretty much nothing has changed😝 (fyi someone has copied my exact bio on Rover in case you come across it) ⚠️Please note: For health and safety reasons, I’m unable to provide pet care in homes with unsafe, unsanitary, or extreme cluttered conditions. For clients who need multiple daily drop-ins, I offer 15-minute express visits at a reduced rate. This option works well for pets who need quick check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or medication. Standard visit rates apply for longer, more involved care. Promo Code: Use code VERONJ16954 to get $20 off your first booking with me!

Verona does a great job taking care of our cat. She communicates well with updates and we will happily have her come again on the future.

Verona was amazing! She provided updates, pictures, and videos during her visits. She was very patient with my cat who is terrified/anxious with strangers. Would definitely recommend!! :)

Thank you Verona for taking care of our kitties while we were abroad! Verona is really warm and loving person. This is the first time we using a sitter and we were little concerned at the beginning. But after meeting with her, we totally relived and knew she would take good care of our babies! We will definitely hire her again in the future ❤️
