Veronica is amazing!!!! I was recently overseas for a vacation and was gone for 12 nights— the longest I have been away from my boy, Crosby. Veronica was SO understanding and patient with me— she knew I was anxious and did everything possible to calm my nerves. Her communication with me was great - she sent lots of videos and photos and kept Crosby’s routine. She also took Crosby with her where/ when she could - to reduce his time alone. I arrived home to clean laundry and a happy dog! I trust Veronica completely and highly, hoghly recommend her!!!

I love Veronica!!!! I have an upcoming extended trip at the end of the month. I have talked with Veronica about the trip and shared that I always feel very anxious whenever I have to leave Crosby for an extended period time. Veronica has been SO calm, patient, understanding and flexible. She has done everything possible to put my mind and my nerves at ease. Today, Veronica went above and beyond on her visit and walk with Crosby. I’m so relieved and grateful to have connected with Veronica !! She’s AMAZING!!!! ❤️❤️ Thank you, Veronica!!!
