Information Veronica M. would like to know about your pet

I am open to, and have experience, with any and all breeds, sizes, and ages! I’d like to know what a normal day looks like for your pup (feeding times, walk schedule, etc) so that we can maintain a normal routine for them in order to help them feel safe and cared for. If there are any medications to be given and when. Whether or not your pup sleeps in the bed/is allowed on the furniture.

A typical day

I look forward to learning the area and exploring the many parks around while walking with your dog. With your permission, I’m always game for some fetch or a quick round of tug o war!

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Veronica M., I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist in Richmond. I have a Certification in Dog Handling as well as Canine and Feline Massage Therapy & Reiki. Having a dog with separation anxiety has given me firsthand understanding of dog behavior and special needs pups. I’ve had an affinity for animals since my childhood, growing up with and taking care of our 2 black labs and a rescue jack russell. I continued my interest in animals through volunteer work with the SPCA & working as a kennel technician at a local doggy day care and boarding facility. There I fed, watered, and played with all different breeds of dogs as well as administered medicine as needed. Throughout, I continued dog and house sitting for family, friends, and referred clients. Later, after receiving a License in Massage Therapy, I decided to continue on the path of animal care and earned a certificate in Animal Massage, primarily canine and feline. Here I also earned a certificate in dog handling. I learned about dog behaviors and pathologies in depth. Now, I care for my 2 black lab mixes and my black cat, my babies!! <3. I look forward to meeting you and your animals!

Veronica was punctual and reliable for her visits with Celie while I was away and I returned to everything in order and a happy kitty cat.

Veronica stepped in when another sitter canceled the night before a trip and, honestly, I wish I’d found her in the first place! She was responsive, thoughtful, and my pups were in great spirits upon return.

Another great experience with Veronica! Our plans changed last minute and she was super accommodating, as always! Gus is always happy and well cared for when Veronica is with him!
