Care and love as if you never left

Pet care experience

Growing up on my family's farm in Uruguay, I developed a genuine love for animals, particularly dogs. Dogs have been a constant and cherished part of my life. In Israel, I spent six years volunteering as a foster parent for shelter dogs, offering them a temporary home filled with love and care. Growing up on my family's farm in Uruguay, I developed a deep love and genuine care for animals, especially dogs. Dogs have always been a constant presence in my life, and I've become well-acquainted with their companionship. In Israel, I dedicated six years to volunteering as a foster parent for shelter dogs, providing them with a temporary home filled with warmth and compassion. In addition to my volunteer work, I've consistently extended my caregiving expertise to friends by looking after their dogs whenever they were away. Our dog Newton, has been a cherished member of my family for the past 13 years. Newton is not only friendly but also thrives on companionship and play. When entrusted with the care of your dog, rest assured that I approach the responsibility with the same devotion and understanding as if they were my own. My experience has granted me an intuitive understanding of dogs, allowing me to easily connect with and accommodate dogs of all temperaments. Your four-legged friend is guaranteed to experience a delightful blend of fun and affection in our care.

Veronica is a great sitter! Flynn will be happy to return, after a weekend playing with the kids and becoming friends with Newton (the family dog). I’m sure he also enjoyed the nice yard and the freedom to play and run!

Veronica took care of Silas like he was a part of the family. He looked so happy in all of the photos she sent us and he was a pooped pup when he was picked up. I would definitely recommend Veronica for anyone looking for a family to watch their pup. Will be booking again for sure!

Information Veronica S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but the dog has to be friendly with other dogs and children. No dominant or aggressive dogs would be suitable for our family. I need to know if your dog is house trained, if he/she chews on furniture, rugs, etc., and also if he/she has an interest in house plants. By understanding your dogs' behavior I can provide a safer environment for them and my family.

A typical day

I understand that dogs need to play and exercise to enjoy life, so making sure they are safe and happy is my priority. We can accommodate your dog's needs from going on a walk, running, or just chilling.

I have a flexible work schedule and my husband works from home so your dog will have company for all or most of the day. Our dog goes out and into the yard as much as he wants, so your dog will have the same treatment. We take one or two walks a day.
