Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I treat your furry family members like my own. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their usual routine, whether that means specific feeding times, medication schedules, favorite walks, or playtime rituals. I respect your home and keep it clean and secure while you're away, ensuring your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy.

Information Veronica Z. would like to know about your pet

I always appreciate knowing anything that helps me give your pet the best care possible! Please let me know about their routines, favorite toys or activities, any quirks or fears, medical needs, and how they typically behave on walks or around new people and animals. The more I know ahead of time, the more I can make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged during our time together! Depending on their personality and energy level, I’ll tailor our time to include fun walks, playtime with toys, backyard zoomies, puzzle treats, or just lots of cuddles and companionship. For older or more mellow pets, I’m always happy to keep things low-key with cozy couch time and gentle attention. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away!

She is the best. My most shy cat came out for her. I would recommend Veronica without hesitation.

Veronica was wonderful with our two cats. I would recommend her to anyone and would use her services again anytime. It was the first time I used a sitter, and it worked out perfectly

I highly recommend Veronica. She is such a wonderful and responsible pet sitter. Her dedication and devotion she gives to my pets are top notch. If anyone is looking for a pet sitting Veronica will be your best choice.

Explained in detail the scope of the job along with visual illustrations (step by step videos) beforehand and she agreed and accepted. I booked the service and made payment. The job was only for a week - and on the first day during the scheduled shift, she abruptly said she was “done for the day as she had things to do” and LEFT MY CATS TO STARVE and the shift incomplete. That was it. She claimed she did not know it would take this long to do, after she wasted about an hour unnecessarily and started the actual job late. Did not communicate anything to me about what was going on during that time she wasted, so I had no idea what time she was starting. I said it would take 30 mins - 1 hour (an hour as it is the first day and I had to do somewhat of a walkthrough). She spent about 40 mins on the actual task so I was confused on what she meant by she did not know it would take this long. She clearly just said that as a form of excuse. Communication was then nonexistent throughout everything. She said she would still do the rest of the days - although she was done for the first day - then I heard nothing from her meanwhile I am still paying for the active service. I had to reach out to her in the afternoon on the second day, to which she said she was no longer fulfilling the other days. So if you did not want to do the job, why did you accept it? And in addition, you’re on a pet platform claiming you love animals and why people should trust you with their pets - when in reality, it’s clear you don’t. Leaving animals to starve because you “didn’t feel like it” knowing I would not be able to find someone else at that time was unacceptable and not the actions of someone who has a passion for animals. If you felt you did not want to complete the full task, you finish up the first day as you are well aware no one would be able to fill in that day - and then you communicate that to the person who hired you, so they can move accordingly and find a replacement for the other days. Horrible experience and a horrible representation of Rover!
