Highlights
Pet care experience
Home sweet home
I've basically been running a small zoo for over 15 years—and loving every minute of it. 🐾 Dogs have always been a constant in my life, along with cats, birds, reptiles, and even the occasional hamster over the years. During my time in the military, I spent about four years providing dog sitting and drop-in care for fellow service members, whether they were deployed or spending time with their families. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I believe in animal freedom, structure, and trust. Pups in my care are treated as individuals, with access to a doggy door so they can come and go as they please, fresh water available at all times, and consistent twice-daily feedings. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and be themselves. I run a doggy adventure club, and can run pups in a 4 acre ranch for a fee. Just inquire at booking. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. 🐶💛

Ratings and reviews
Veronica has been our regular dogs that are now for a while and has been a second home for ocean. I love that I never worry when ocean is with Veronica! She loves Ocean and ocean loves her!
Veronica took great care of my very anxious golden retriever and my very old senior dog. She was very patient with both of them and left plenty of updates and asked for advice when they had any issues. They came home healthy and comfortable.
Ocean has been having a great time with Veronica! We will continue to work with her when needed!
Bella has so much from with Ms Veronica! She enjoys all the love and attention as well as the other furry guest! She sleeps for 3 days when we get her!
We’ve used Veronica several times. Our rescue dog is very timid but she is comfortable at Veronica’s house. She enjoys playing with the other dogs in the large yard. She is very nervous when she eats so Veronica has a system to help her to feel comfortable. We are happy to have a great place to leave our dog when we travel.
Veronica was great, she took very good care of my baby. My pup was not eating her food and was being very picky or maybe she was nervous being away from home but Veronica did everything could think of to make Georgie eat. She was very attentive and caring. I’m so grateful for the care she provided.

Schedule
I work from home during the nights and am available throughout the day. My spouse is home in the evenings, so there is almost always someone present. Your pup is rarely alone, and if we do step out, it’s typically for no more than 2–3 hours for a quick outing or meal. This setup allows for frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day and evening—perfect for pups who enjoy company and routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced backyard with double side gates to prevent gates from accidentally being left open—no surprise adventures here. Safety is always a top priority. I share my home with one dog, Stella, an 11-year-old, 65-lb sweetheart. She’s very chill, prefers wiggles and naps, and is an excellent cuddler. Stella does well with both dogs and cats and tends to peacefully coexist—she’ll happily give cats their space and play appropriately with other dogs. We also have two cats, all pets in the home are spayed and neutered. The cats are dog-savvy and typically steer clear of dogs, choosing instead to play with each other or keep to themselves. We’re happy to follow crating protocols at night if requested. Stella sleeps in our room, and guest pups have options—there are plenty of comfy beds downstairs or they’re welcome to sleep upstairs in our rooms with us, depending on your preference and your dog’s routine. Our goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

A typical day
Mornings start with potty breaks and getting the wiggles out, followed by breakfast. After a bit of movement and fresh air, weekdays from early morning through early afternoon are quieter—this is nap time while I rest after my night shift, making it a great window for pups who enjoy downtime. In the afternoon, we’re back up and moving. Dinner is served, followed by playtime, more wiggle-burning, and multiple potty breaks. We spend a good amount of time outside to make sure pups can release energy and enjoy fresh air. Evenings are all about winding down. After one last round of potty breaks, pups settle in for naps or bedtime while I work from home overnight. This provides calm companionship and supervision through the night. This routine offers a healthy balance of activity, rest, structure, and comfort—tailored to each dog’s needs
