I live in North Oakland and work from home. I’m on a 2 parcel community property with fencing around the perimeter. Your dog would stay inside of my first floor, 1 bedroom unit and get morning and evening walks and some play at a nearby park mid-day, depending on their needs. I’m super accommodating and interested in being an auntie to your best friend.

Your pet's care is important to me

Pet care experience

I would love furry companions to care for and bring on walks with me. I lost my dog, Ginger, the furry love of my life, in 2020 and I know what it means to have someone trustworthy and caring for your friend. Ginger was in my life because a community I lived with was changing from the original members and so someone needed to be her caretaker full-time. That’s how she and I became pretty much inseparable. I became the auntie to a couple of friend’s pets since Ginger’s passing and it warms my healing heart to see them when I do.

My dog has stayed with Veronica a few times, and seemed to be ok. Today, I picked her up after 7 days, and she had an entire patch of skin bitten off. I’ve always requested photos from Veronica of my dog. This time, she did not send any. When I picked up Kalista, she was shaking and had no fur. It was heartbreaking. Be careful of who you leave your babies with.

Veronica is the best! She’s so kind and communicative. Stitch absolutely adores her and always gets excited when we approach her home. We’re so thankful for Veronica, and are always at ease when Stitch is in her care.
