Pet care experience

Experienced pet lover you can trust

I’m an experienced former animal hospital worker who provides compassionate, professional care for pets of all ages — from playful puppies and curious kittens to seniors needing extra attention. I’m trained in bathing and basic grooming, comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and adapting care for mobility or age-related needs. Calm, patient, and detail-oriented, I prioritize clear communication with owners and individualized routines to keep pets safe, healthy, and happy. To provide each dog with the attention, comfort, and supervision they deserve, I accept only two dogs from the same family or maximum of 2 compatible guest dogs from different families at a time in addition to my own dogs.

Veska is wonderful. Our dog Cleo had a great time and we received many pictures. I will book with Veska again.

Teddie was well cared for and had a good time, as well as his nap in the crate.

Veska took wonderful care of my golden retriever with walks, toys, and play. She gave me plenty of updates about how he was doing. I am so grateful to have found a safe and loving place for him to stay!

Veska took such great care with our 16 year old dachshund. She went above and beyond to walk and feed Sweetpea. We highly recommend the dog care service that Veska provides.

I have a 3 month old very energetic and rambunctious puppy (Teddie) who was welcomed immediately into her home and I knew he would be treated with kindness and love. Veska is very respectful and provided him with a safe environment and a great time! Teddie and I both look forward to Veska providing care in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard, which allows for plenty of room for play. I have two small/ medium pups who would keep your pet company and be their friend. Our neighbourhood is very quiet and safe, perfect for walks when the weather permits. I worked in an animal hospital while attending college, and have had cats and dogs myself throughout my life. I enjoy caring for pets and will provide your pets with gentle, loving care from the time they enter my home until they leave. Please note: puppies 12 weeks and younger may require an additional care fee ( upto $15 per day on top of the puppy rate) due to the higher level of supervision, potty training support, and individualized attention they typically need — especially newly adopted puppies adjusting to a new environment.

Pets

A typical day

I will offer tug of war, beach walks at dog friendly near by beaches, neighbourhood walks, fetch toys, sticks, balls, or loving pets and cuddles if that's what they desire. Please note: puppies 12 weeks and younger may require an additional care fee ( upto $15 per day on top of the puppy rate) due to the higher level of supervision, potty training support, and individualized attention they typically need — especially newly adopted puppies adjusting to a new environment.
