Pet care experience

Your Pets’ New Favorite Auntie

I don't have any "formal" experience training puppies or anything like that. I've just been a cat mom for over 30 years and share custody of a 16.5-year-old Golden Doodle named Maestro the Lady Killer. He loves going on short walks and getting treats afterward.

Safety, trust & environment

Your furry family member's safety is my top priority. As a pet parent, I will treat your furry family member the way I'd expect a sitter to take care of my furry kids. I follow instructions well, so if you tell me they have a strict feeding schedule, I will follow it.

When my father entered hospice care at home, he met Veronica through his hospice team — and from the very beginning, she cared not only for him, but for his three beloved cats as well. My dad used to laugh because his cats disliked almost everyone who came into the house… except Veronica. The moment they saw her arrive, they would run straight to the front door to greet her. He thought it was the funniest thing and lovingly called her “Snow White.” She always showed up with treats, toys, and endless kindness, making sure the cats were just as cared for as he was. On the day my father passed away, Veronica was there with our family. She made sure he knew his three cats were beside him in the room. One of the greatest gifts she gave us was reassuring him that his babies would continue to be loved and cared for after he was gone. Moments after hearing those words, he took his last breath. It truly felt as though he needed to hear that before he could finally rest — and because Veronica said it, he believed it completely. Since his passing, Veronica has continued to visit the cats several times a week, spending time playing with them, comforting them, and helping them adjust to their new normal. She has even guided our family on how to help them through their grief. We share this because hiring Veronica to care for your pets is a decision you will never regret. She doesn’t simply pet sit — she loves animals like family. In the process of caring for my father and his cats, she became part of our family too.

Veronica has been absolutely amazing with my dog. It was clear pretty quickly that this is not just a job to her. She is genuinely caring, thoughtful, and attentive, and she treats my dog with so much love and care. One thing I especially appreciate is how intentional she is. She has brought my dog treats even on days she was not scheduled to see him, just because she was thinking about him. That level of thoughtfulness means a lot. You can also tell she truly enjoys spending time with the dogs she cares for. My dog gets excited when he sees her, and it is obvious she genuinely enjoys taking him on walks and being with him. She is dependable, communicative, and gives me real peace of mind when my dog is with her. It is such a relief knowing he is not only safe, but genuinely cared for and loved on. I honestly cannot recommend Veronica highly enough. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her caring for their dog.
