Fantastic 10/10! Communication and care is perfection.
We have been using Veronica to take care of our 2 girls who both have conditions while we were on vacation for almost 2 years now. She has done above and beyond any standard of excellence of any pet sitter we have known in the past 16 years, specially for the dogs needing extra care and attention. She took care of our girls, treating them like her own girls. Sofie, 16.5 years old, she has dementia, pancreatitis, cushing desease and just as recently 2 days prior to our trip had corneal ulceration needing a follow up with nearby pet hospital. We had also pending delivery of her wheelchair to arrive by the time we were gone. Sumie, another pup is 5 years old who has anxiety and skin allergy. Sounds impossible to leave on vacation but Veronica assured us that both girls were taken care of with regular updates and candid photos. She went to meet the vet at the clinic and picked up Sofie's new eye drop while we were away. We arranged the delivery of her wheelchair to her home and she and Joe helped set it up for Sofie to exercise and gained some independence to make her move around with her new wheelchair. She provided some recomendations and summarized what to do next for Sofie. She recommended the set up of the fence, added yoga mat and rubbers to it, bought new pee pads and recommended new kibble good for her pancreatitis when her old food that we prepared was finished. We continue to do what she recommended after we came back in town that we feel she somehow helped us manage Sofie better with less time required. Sofie gained some weight that she needed at her age. We also noticed Veronica kept our pups clean and tidy and washed the beds and blankets by the time we picked them up. She gave bath to both of our pups and they looked happy by the time we picked them up. We cannot say enough to thank Veronica to do such fantastic job in taking a good care of Sofie and Sumie. Sumie played well with her bigger size mastiff Doudoune and Veronica and Joe gained Sumie's respect. She is now more accustomed to a stranger and less reactive. We highly recommend Veronica to everyone to leave their dogs with her while on vacation because I can tell she will take a very good care of your pups so you can have a real vacation.
Can't recommend her enough!!! Right from the time of drop off to pick up she was nothing short of amazing. Providing updates and pictures made the experience comforting. 100% will use her again.
Veronica was an excellent dog sitter. I would definitely go back. My dogs were very well cared for and loved throughout the day she spent with them!!
We are so happy with our pup's stay with Veronica. We started with a meet & greet then a daycare day, and everything exceeded our expectations. Knowing that Veronica is a Veterinarian gave us so much peace of mind, especially since our pup has some medical concerns. Veronica was very caring and attentive and made us feel confident our pup would be well taken care of. Veronica's sweet dog Doudoune, was amazing with our pup. Our dog is little and is usually nervous around larger dogs but she was completely comfortable around Doudoune. We loved receiving lots of updates and photos during our pup's stay. It was reassuring to see our dog comfortable & happy. When we picked our pup up she was not stressed and very relaxed. We will definitely rebook again with Veronica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy dogsitter. Thank you so much Veronica🩷
Ginni had a great time with Veronica. Very accommodating .

A typical day
I adapt my day according to the needs of your loved pet. We can go for a walk, run or dog park if he needs to exercise allowing and respecting their time of rest and physical capability. If less mobility is desired, supervised fenced backyard and toys are also an option!
