Please note that I would need to have some time away for my personal needs and work/class during sitting, so please specify when your pet can be alone and for how long.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to have a written itinerary for their care: feeding times, safe places for them to roam, health conditions/allergies and anything else important! <3

Information Veronica J. would like to know about your pet

Super important to me to understand temperament, what situations to avoid, what behaviors to encourage. What commands/rewards do you use for training so I can reinforce that? Etc. Also note I WILL love your pet and give them plenty of hugs and kisses if they enjoy that, so let me know :)

A typical day

A typical visit would involve starting with immediate needs: food and water refresh, walk/waste pick-up or litter scooping. The remainder of the time is subject to their wants: snuggles? Play-time? It’s up to the pet(s)!

Nursing Student Watching Pets!

Pet care experience

Hello my two-legged and four-legged friends! My name is Veronica, and I am a student at SFSU, majoring in Public Health until I can enter the nursing program. I am a student full-time, working as a caregiver and for Rover part-time at this time. I love animals, have a dog and cat back home with my father and 3 cats all to myself at my apartment. I’d be more than happy to watch your animals whenever needed! Please keep in mind this is subject to my availability outside of work and school. For safety reasons, I am now requiring a meet and greet before bookings with owners present. I reserve the right to increase pricing by 10% for hazard pay if the pet exhibits aggressive behavior at any time. If there is no way to resolve aggression issues I reserve the right to cancel the booking outright. This is not something I anticipate, but I ask owners use good judgement when considering their pets needs and what services I am able to safely provide. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have knowledge of fish-keeping, and am happy to care for them as well while you’re gone at no extra cost. I have limited knowledge of caring for birds, reptiles and small mammals but am happy to learn your pet’s routine and care for them as well. High levels of care may incur additional fees, though I only anticipate this in a very special case. I am also happy to assist with training and reinforce existing commands, but I must be made aware of these needs in advance. Please alert me of any behavioral issues, like leash-pulling or accidents in the home, so I can prepare. Thank you!

Veronica has walked my dog several times now and it’s been seamless every time! She follows all instructions perfectly and when I come home Riley seems super happy/content. Also was able to accommodate a last minute request which was a lifesaver!

Veronica was wonderful. Communicative, follows instructions perfectly, easy to work with, and did a great job with reading my dog’s needs. Would definitely recommend them to others for walks and in-home sitting. :)

Veronica walked my dog twice a day for a week while I was out of town. She was very responsive, timely, and upon return, it seemed like my dog had been well cared for and kept occupied! I’ll definitely ask her for walks again in the future! Thanks Veronica!

Veronica is amazing! My very anxious, very neurotic cat was very well cared for thanks to her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
