Availability

I am a full-time care provider. I provide custom care for my clients and follow their instructions. I am experienced, trustworthy, and safety-oriented. Your peace of mind is my goal. I administer medications and follow routines so tour pup stays happy and calm. I do light housekeeping so you will find your home in the same condition in which you left it. I bring my own sheets so no need for you to deal with extra laundry. I pick up mail and packages, water plants, wash dog dishes, empty dehumidifiers, clean up after pets, and take out trash and recycling.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety comes first. I take care to become acquainted with your dog and learn all about their routines, quirks, and how to keep them happy. Please let me know about your pup's recall and whether they eat non-food objects. Please list all medications in the Rover app and on paper in bullet form for accuracy and quick reference. I am responsible, reliable, and punctual. I have passed security clearances with Montgomery County Public Schools and even with the US Department of State. I serve only a small number of clients and so I can be there when your pups are in need. Is your flight delayed? No worries, I have your back. Your peace of mind is my goal.

Information Veronica T. would like to know about your pet

I want to customize your dog's care to keep them happy and healthy. Please tell me all about your dog's needs, preferences, and quirks--the more I know, the happier their stay.

A typical day

I take your pup on walks, play sessions, follow feeding schedules, and see to whatever else your pup needs. I love instructions. Set a schedule and I will follow it. You will receive frequent or infrequent photo updates--whichever you prefer. I keep you informed if any household matters arise or if you need me to keep track of deliveries or anything else that comes up in your absence.

Pet care experience

Custom care. Peace of mind. Hello! I'm Veronica and I love dogs. I have tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, from the giants to the toys and tea cups. I have cared for dogs with all personalities--high energy or slow, friendly or anxious, and everything in between. I am highly adaptable and have handled pups with separation anxiety, reactivity to other dogs or people, pure bred dogs with special needs, all kinds of medications, and rescue dogs who have survived abuse and require special care. Keeping your pup happy and giving you peace of mind through custom care is my business. I stay overnight or drop-in to visit your pup throughout the day. Custom care means that YOU choose the care I give in the privacy of your home. I leave your home as you left it so when you arrive back from your travels, you can relax. If I spend the night, I use my own sheets so no worries about making beds, taking out trash, or doing dishes. I love to follow instructions. Tell me everything you want me to know about your pup. If your dog is happy, then so am I. Meet-and-greets required for new clients. *Why am I not a Star Sitter on Rover?* New clients have been asking me this question. I keep a small group of regular clients who have been with me for years. I accept only a small number of new clients based on their service needs and location. Some need my services only once or twice a year and that is fine by me. My work focuses on QUALITY, not quantity. I keep my business small on purpose. I do not balance my business with any other paid work. Unfortunately, Rover grants Star Sitter status to providers who recruit a high volume of clients on a monthly basis--and that is not how I run my business.

Veronica is absolutely wonderful. She took such loving, attentive care of my two dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She is incredibly kind, reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for dogs. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and feel so lucky to have found her!

Veronica did an excellent job house sitting my pups for over ten days while I was out of town. One of my dogs is diabetic and needs close monitoring, but I felt very relaxed the whole trip knowing Veronica was taking care of him.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
