Life is pawsome with me 🐾🐾

Pet care experience

I'm Veronica, and I'm excited about the prospect of meeting new dogs and their owners. Having grown up surrounded by a variety of animals, I bring a lifelong love for pets. Reliability is a strong suit of mine, and I'm eager to connect with new fur friends. Staying active is a key part of my daily routine, whether it's through hiking, training my own dogs, or interacting with pets of all sizes. I recently relocated back to Monterey County after spending five years in the Bay Area. I'll lead your dog on invigorating walks, turning exercise into a fun experience rather than a chore. If they're up for it, we might even explore hikes spanning 4-6 miles—I'm a big fan of AllTrails. Treating others' dogs with the same respect I have for my own is a priority for me. I have experience with puppies (8 weeks and older) as well as senior (geriatric) pets. I'm excited about the opportunity to meet you and your pets, showering them with love and attention. Additionally, capturing some wonderful photos of them is something I'm eagerly anticipating for your enjoyment!

Veronica was a wonderful sitter for our two big, energetic dogs! She came over for a meet and greet and asked lots of detailed questions in order to provide the best care. During her stay, she was reliable and consistent, sending frequent photos and updates and following the care instructions. We plan to use Veronica again for an upcoming trip and definitely recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer scheduling potty breaks every 3-4 hours, maintaining your pet's routine while they're under my care. If necessary, I am comfortable crating them. In public spaces, I steer clear of high foot traffic areas and consistently stay alert to my surroundings for the safety of both myself and the dogs.

Information Veronica A. would like to know about your pet

Inform me about your dog's preferences, whether they enjoy music in the crate, require specific medications, or exhibit any behaviors I should be aware of in advance. I am at ease caring for both high-energy and low-energy breeds.

A typical day

Engaging in hikes, brisk walks in the neighborhood, games of fetch and tug of war, and flirt lure activities are some of the ways I enjoy spending time with dogs. I also like taking them on car rides, sometimes ending the day with a puppucino from Starbucks after a long hike. Finding a peaceful spot and practicing neutrality is another activity I find valuable.
