Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I closely follow all instructions from the owner — including feeding schedules, walks, routines, and any special needs. While you're away, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime. If needed, I can also help with light training, administer medications, and tailor walks to your pet’s personality — whether they enjoy active play or calm strolls. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I’m also happy to help keep your home tidy during your time away — including cleaning up after your pets, keeping things organized, and making sure everything stays neat and comfortable for your return.

Information Veronika S. would like to know about your pet

It's very important for me to know all the key information about your pet in advance. This includes their daily routine, health issues, feeding schedule, behavior around strangers or other animals, and any special needs they might have. It helps me provide the best care possible and make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe while you're away.

A typical day

I try to make each day feel fun and relaxed for your pet. We’ll stick to their regular schedule as much as possible — meals, walks, playtime, and rest. I love spending quality time with animals, so whether it’s going for a walk, playing with toys, doing some basic training games, or just snuggling on the couch, I’ll follow their vibe. Every pet is different, so I adjust to what makes them happiest.

Loving and Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life — I grew up with Pekingese and French Bulldogs, and caring for them has always been a part of my everyday life. I also volunteered at a dog shelter, where I walked, cared for, and helped train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I treat every dog like my own — with love, patience, and respect. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and understand how to respect their space and earn their trust. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or calm companionship, your cat will be in good hands. What sets me apart is my calm energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, or gentle company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away.

Veronika is a wonderful sitter for our dog Finn. She kept in communication with us and sent us videos and pictures. She even helped us by staying longer when we were delayed. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog.

We cannot say enough good things about Veronika (and her partner, Nikolai)! This was our second time having Veronika care for our French Bulldog, Chloe, and once again she exceeded our expectations. We were away for nine days, and Chloe has separation anxiety, so finding someone who understands her needs and can provide consistent companionship is incredibly important to us. Veronika made sure Chloe was never left alone for longer than she could comfortably handle, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. She faithfully administered Chloe’s daily medications, took her on at least three walks a day (often more), and clearly gave her lots of love, attention, and care. We received daily updates with photos and occasional videos, which were always reassuring and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable Chloe was throughout our trip. Veronika was communicative, responsive, reliable, and punctual from start to finish. We had an early flight, and she was gracious enough to accommodate our schedule without hesitation. She also went above and beyond by watering our plants and taking exceptional care of our home. We returned to a spotless apartment, and she had even washed the linens and towels she used, something we never asked her to do but deeply appreciated. Veronika is kind, thoughtful, trustworthy, and incredibly conscientious. It is obvious that she genuinely cares about the pets and families she works with. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Chloe loves her, we trust her completely, and we absolutely plan to book with her again in the future. Five stars without hesitation!

Veronika is a fantastic dog sitter. She left my house cleaner than when I departed and she is great playing and walking and just hanging out with my dog.
