Experienced Dog & Cat Care

Hi! I’m Veronica. I split my time between Los Angeles and the Washington, DC area, and whenever I’m in town, I love spending time with animals. I’m a proud pet mom of both dogs and a cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🦴 ABOUT ME I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I am comfortable with: • Walks and exercise • Feeding schedules • Basic medications • Puppies and senior pets • Multi-pet households • Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. 🏡 STAYS & VISITS I work primarily from home and am rarely away for more than a few hours at a time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For boarding stays, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease in a new environment. 📸 UPDATES I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and messages throughout each stay or visit. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I love sharing their adventures, naps, playtime, and cute moments with you. ❤️ WHY I PET SIT As someone who travels frequently between DC and LA, I miss my own pets when I’m away from them. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful animals while helping fellow pet owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. 🐾 MY PROMISE My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! ❤️

Drop-In Visits • Jul 30, 2018

Veronica was super helpful when it came to a somewhat last minute need for someone to drop in & check on the cats while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure they always had what they needed. Veronica was reliable and made sure to let me know everything was going fine!

Was not proactive with questions concerning care of Jack. When a question was asked, the directions were not followed. No updates provided throughout the stay.

Veronica did a great job watching my fur babies over the weekend! She was available on short notice and was super easy to work with.

My wife and I have used Veronica on several occasions to care for our dogs. She provided a great service to us and we were able to travel, sometimes for as long as two weeks, without concern knowing that Veronica was in charge. She was always dependable and very responsible. The one time that there was an emergency, she handled things quickly and correctly. She kept us up to date on the my retriever's condition and the animal was back home by the time we returned.

Veronica dog sat my chocolate lab Murphy, and he had a great time with her! She has other dogs so he had got plenty of exercise and had fun playing. Veronica has been a friend for a long time, and has always had dogs in her life. She's so knowledgeable and attentive to the pups! They're all like a part of her family.

Veronica is the ultimate dog lover. She took great care of my lil guy, his wellbeing & happiness was always her top priority. I found comfort knowing that my guy was getting spoiled rotten when he was with her. She is responsive, reliable and experienced.

Schedule

I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide reliable pet care. When I have clients for my business, I’m normally not gone for more than four hours a day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests.
