“Jen is a great sitter as always and is our go to sitter! She does a great job keeping Nico’s litter and food areas clean, and sends cute videos at every visit! Definitely recommend”
“Hailey is the person you want your pets to see while you’re away. My boys immediately took to her and were happy to see her stop by. Hailey has such a warm and calming presence that made them both comfortable. I appreciated her communication with me to let me know how the visit was going as well as the videos and photos she sent over. This would have been a 10 star rating if this app had that option :)”
About: Hi all! My name is Veronica. I'm an Amherst College alumna ('17) and current 4th year med student (Dartmouth, Geisel School of Medicine '26). I spent my childhood in rural NY, TN, and VA with my grandparents and our dogs, cats, and parrot. In my household, animals were viewed as family, and were always treated as such. I've been taking care of/loving cats & dogs of all sizes (we have owned a daschund named Mr. Wiggles, an Irish Wolfhound named Hobbs, a collie named Blue, to name a few) and ages (puppies to salt&pepper seniors) since I was 5. My partner and I are also proud cat parents to two bonded, adopted cats (Gaston & Basil). I have cared for several friends', neighbors', and strangers turned clients' cats and dogs while they were away/traveling! I hope to bring the same love, respect, and care to your pet that I show my own when you are not there. No pet is too small, too big, too silly, or too drooly for me! I will be based in New Haven, CT working on my residency application, research, and other personal projects with much free time in the upcoming year (2025-26). I am happy to house-sit your pet in your own home, be a dog-walker, or drop-in to feed/walk/play with your pet. For dog-walking & drop-in services, I would prefer if clients are within a 10-15 minute drive from New Haven, CT, though I will consider each request individually. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate dogs or cats in my own apartment.

You will not regret having me love and care for your pet!
“I highly recommend Tania for her absolutely wonderful service. She is most punctual, responsive, and reliable and reading her rover card notes brought me joy. She also has a great understanding of cats. I am relieved and excited to have found someone I can trust my cat with while I travel!”
“Anne-Marie is AMAZING! While we were away for a week, Anne-Marie dropped in every day to check in our cat Ruby. She kept me apprised each day and sent lovely photos and videos. She followed all our instructions to a tee and was absolutely sweet towards Ruby. When we go away again, we are most definitely booking with Anne-Marie!”
“Marsela was great! She took great care of my cat! I especially appreciated the detailed summary of her visits and all the photos. I will absolutely be reaching out to Marsela again next time.”

About: I’ve been caring for my adopted cat, Eggy, for the past four years, and he’s the sweetest part of my life. I’ve also looked after dogs, including a coworker’s dog while their family was away and my aunt and uncle’s senior diabetic dog. I’m patient, dependable, and calm, and I love being outdoors so walks, hikes, and playtime are always a win. In my free time, I enjoy working out, making pottery, and reading. ☀️ I currently work from home full time so my daily schedule is pretty flexible. If needed, I can bring my laptop to work from as long as there is reliable WiFi. When meeting a pet for the first time, I am always aware of my demeanor and make sure to give them the space to approach me when they’re feeling ready. I keep a calm and patient demeanor to build trust with the new pet, and also make sure to find out if they have any favorite toys.

About: I currently work a 9-5, M-F but have flexibility early mornings, most nights, and weekends! I grew up with plenty of cats and dogs around me but it wasn’t until I worked at a doggy daycare that I truly realized my love for animals. There I learned dog body language, grooming techniques, best ways to give medications, and a little bit of training. I’d be honored to take care of your fur baby however you need! I work 9-5, M-F but I am happy to make time for you and your animal! Feel free to reach out to me so I can work with your schedule! I have a dog at home but I am happy to watch your pet at your home. I will ask for trigger words for your dog/cat, check in on feeding times to keep their schedule on, and ask for your preferences with your animal as everyone is different.

Veronica V.
“Veronica was a dream come true for our two cats, who loved her instantly. She was incredibly reliable and responsive, and she went well above and beyond the call of duty to care for them, cleaning up after them, spending playtime with them, and sending us adorable video and pictorial chronicles of their time together (she also happens to be a very very talented photographer.) Knowing that they were in Veronica's charge gave us invaluable peace of mind while we were out of town--could not recommend her more highly.”

“We feel beyond lucky to have found Annie. From the very first walk, it was clear how much they genuinely love and connect with our dog, Dunder. They don’t just walk him, they treat them like family. Dunder lights up the moment they hear Annie at the door, tail wagging and all. It’s obvious they’ve built a real bond. Annie always goes above and beyond, sending thoughtful updates, photos, and little stories from their walks that show just how well they know and care for our dog. Whether it’s making sure he gets extra sniffs on favorite routes or cuddling on rainy days, we know he’s is in the very best hands. We trust them completely and are so grateful for the love, attention, and consistency they bring into our dog’s life. Truly a gem!”
