Safety, trust & environment

After moving out of my parents home I have accumulated 3 cats of my own who I would spare my own life for if need be. They are extremely spoiled and I make sure that they always have a clean litterbox and fresh water as well as a mostly wet diet and exercise. I know I can provide that for your pets as well as it has been a second nature to me since I was a child.

Information Veronica H. would like to know about your pet

Any special meds? Allergies? Preferred routes? Are they aggressive or reactive around people or other animals? Feeding/Daily routine? Do they wear shoes to walk and will their paws need to be checked/cleaned upon arrival back home?

A typical day

Lots of people watching and long walks! If there are any special requests by the owner I am more than happy to accommodate. It’s important to exhaust the animal mentally and physically so they aren’t anxious when you come home!

Pet care experience

As someone who has grown up around 10 cats and 2 dogs I understand the stress of trusting someone else with your pets. It often feels impossible to find someone to trust but I am here to put you at ease! I was cleaning litter boxes and training my afghan hound (who had the most impossible temper) since about 11 so I will come to your pet with endless affection and care. I try to bring treats when I can (with your permission of course) and make sure to go above and beyond for your fur baby because they absolutely deserve it! I am willing to accommodate a myriad of requests so just ask! I also have experience in administering medicine and handling scared or tough/reactive temperaments.

Veronica is so awesome! My pets love her! My dog has some special needs and Veronica takes the best possible care of her. I couldn’t feel more comfortable with a pet sitter when I’m traveling!

Veronica is the best! Our dogs thrived with her and we had so much peace of mind with her watching them.

Veronica took great care of my cat and my apartment. My cat seemed happy & relaxed, and Veronica even took the time to vacuum and wash the sheets. She sent me updates and pictures everyday, which made me feel reassured. I highly recommend Veronica and would book her again in the future.
