I’m a dog lover And I’m a dog owner

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog owner for about 17 years, but I’ve taking care of many dogs over 30 years for Friends and family. I enjoy dog sitting I am very responsible , reliable Friendly. I’m very flexible with last min Accommodations. My home is in Alexandria, very close to Kingstown, Springfield, falls church Fairfax Arlington, Washington DC. I also provide transportation pick ups and drop offs as well. If you can’t make to the Vets appointments no problem I can help, my daytime job is very flexible, if I need to adjust my schedule to work from home I can also do that I live in a single home with a big backyard that’s fenced I have one dog at the moment she’s very friendly and loving and enjoys playing with other dogs so this way your dog has a companion a friend to play with.

I mean, how can you describe this sweet, amazing and caring woman! My dog just loved her and he's going back for more! He's got to take tons of pills and Veronica managed it like a true professional. She picked Skip up from me and dropped him off. She sent photos and videos and was always available if I just wanted an update. She knew to call right away when he had a little facial seizure and made sure to baby him~ Definitely recommend!

Veronica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My six month old puppy Zeke loved her and had such a great time with her and her dog JoJo. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and sent pictures every day. She stayed at my house and when I returned, it was like I never left… She had cleaned everything up!! She is fantastic! Highly recommended!

Veronica came to my rescue for last minute walks today. She was so gentle and loving with my dog, Bacon. She sent me multiple pictures and I believe Bacon is in love? She's very flexible and willing to help. She's a perfect dog person and I will check her again, not just for walks, but for daycare, boarding and bathing. I'd recommend her whole-heartedly!??

Veronica was fabulous! She went above and beyond for my boy Otis and helped my family in a last minute pinch for house sitting. Thorough, loving, and a super communicator, Veronica is everything you look for in a caregiver for your pet.
