About Veronica

I am an animal lover and enjoy taking care and playing with small, medium and big dogs. But I also have a soft spot for cats and all their...catsonality?

Growing up there was always a dog in my house, but 10 years ago I adopted my very own yellow lab-ish 'Quinn', she is perfect, she just is! I remember days before picking her up from my friend's house going to the library and getting about 5 books. on training dogs, Labrador and dogs in general. I trained her myself and took care of her until I came to Australia, don't worry she is with her BFF (my dad). We also had adopted a stray cat (she lived with us for 18 years!!) and my mother's small, crazy and loud Chihuahua, she loved to sleep in my legs if a spot of sun was not available for her.

Definitely missed all that, however, I would love to take care of your pet instead, I can sit them or walk them, I have some experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, and can also arrange home visits and home sitting.

  • I usually take one hour long walks around the neighbourhood and try to stop in a park to let them run freely, fetch the ball and socialize with other dogs (if that is not ok with you or your dog, we can accommodate a suitable routine for your furry friend)
  • For home visits I can stay up to 1 hour in order to feed them, pet them, clean around and play a little bit, I have more availability during the afternoon.
  • We can also agree to house sitting and I can stay with your pet the whole weekend, or longer if needed since I WFH. 
  • I'm sure we can accommodate something that works for both of us, contact me!

    Veronica is amazing, we hadn’t been away from our cats for such an extended period of time so we were a little worried how they would cope. Veronica was so great and caring with them, sending us amazing photos and videos daily, we could see they really like and trust her (they don’t like or trust so easily) that it put us totally at ease so we could enjoy our holiday. She even got them both playing which is also very impressive, they hardly move for us. We won’t overthink travelling anymore knowing that we can book Veronica. Highly recommend!

    Veronica is undeniably a superstar!! We had a last minute malfunction with our auto feeder which meant we needed Veronica to drop by daily instead of twice a week. Veronica was an absolute champion accomodating for us while we were overseas to make sure our tubby cat was fed, and our young cat got her daily playtime in, and even sent photos and videos of them having the time of their lives without their parents around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Veronica again - pretty sure our cats think she’s the fun aunty now. Thanks Veronica!! If I could give you a higher rating I would!!
