Your dog and I will be fast friends

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been boarding/house sitting and caring for them professionally for the past decade! I am one of those people who LOVES dogs (like you), often preferring to hang out with them over people ;) . I am certified in pet first aid through the American Red Cross, and am comfortable working with special needs pets and administering medication including shots for diabetes, etc. I have had the privilege of working with many dog breeds over the years and have a good idea of breed personality types and exercise/other needs. I work from my computer so taking several walks throughout the day is a must! Can't wait to befriend your fur baby!

Vera is so good with our sensitive old guy. We never have any concerns when Banjo is with her!

Vera was great! She sent us daily updates to reassure us that Banjo was having a great time. She left the house super clean and went above and beyond in all aspects of the job, we will definitely be using her again!
