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.

Experienced Dog & Cat Care

Pet care experience

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! ❤️

Veronica wqs awesome with Prince. He tends to be nervous around new people but Veronica made him feel right at home and she sent us constant updates! It made us feel good that he was staying with someone so caring.

Veronica was reliable and attentive and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. She kept me updated and clearly treated Josie like her own. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I would absolutely recommend Veronica and will definitely book her again!

Veronica and Max got along so well, he wouldn’t leave her side! He even went after once I picked him up. It’s always a great feeling knowing your pup is happy when you leave him with new people. And Veronica was just that for him, which is why he was able to warm up to her so quickly. Thank you! Definitely recommend.
