Hi, I'm Veronica! I’m available for overnight sitting most weekends and walks and check-ins (longer visits at your home can be arranged) at all times of the day. I am happy to discuss you and your pup’s needs and see if we would be a good fit. I grew up in the Midwest on a farm with a doberman and a little mix, as well as cats, ducks, horses, cows, sheep, and a huge goose that thought it was one of the dogs. Growing up in that crew, I started caring for animals early and have always loved it. I have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m very comfortable with large, strong animals (I started riding a horse in middle school), so larger dogs aren’t a problem for me. I care a lot about keeping care as consistent for pets as possible, so if there is anything your pet needs or any behaviors you are trying to encourage, let me know how I can support you and your pup. I'm happy to work with puppies, older pets, and pets who are not spayed or neutered. I have exceptional patience - I once helped train my roommate’s cat to walk on a leash, much to her surprise and joy. I've looked after animals that require special care, and I want to be sure each dog is getting what they need. I'm sitting full-time and am a strong communicator so you'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I’ll gladly give them a bath (or a paw-wipe, if you prefer!) when we get dirty and administer medication and monitor as needed, and then sit down and tell you all about our day together. While I’ve put my cow-and-horse days behind me, I am still an avid outdoor person, and enjoy running (often with a pup!) and being outside. When I take a break from the city, I like to climb mountains and got extensive medical training so I could do that even more safely, so I'm excited about getting both me and your pup some exercise and care deeply about making sure our adventure is as safe as it is enjoyable! I have an 'gram account where I post about my dog-adventures from time to time. Check it out: https://goo.gl/n8osxs
