Dog walking and pet sitting in Thunder Bay ON

Reliable, trustworthy, loving care for your animal companions

Hi! I’m Veronica.

I’m a lifelong dog-owner and outdoors person who loves spending hours exploring trails with my canine companions. Thanks to COVID-19, I’ve turned my passion into a vocation. I can no longer work safely indoors because I’m medically vulnerable to the virus. So I’m here to make YOUR life easier. I’ll help you make sure your best friends get the exercise they need while you relax after a long day at work. And when you go away, I’ll love and care for them as if they were my own. I grew up with farm animals and have had dogs all my life. I have experience caring for a wide variety of critters from cats to chickens and goats! I look forward to talking to you about your pet needs.

What my clients say about me

“Veronica was very kind and thorough when they came to pick up my dog at the airport, asked questions, and made sure about all of my dog’s needs beforehand. While caring for my pet, Veronica used to provide me with daily updates and visuals, cooked Christmas dinner and lots of homemade goodies and treats for my dog, and took my dog out to many trails to make sure he gets his outdoor activity. …Veronica truly enjoys caring for animals and meeting their needs. They are very calm and caring. I am pretty sure my dog is missing them and their beautiful pup, Miss Chui, lots. They had a great time together! … We will miss them and the respect and dedication they show for animals and people. Veronica is a great human being and dog sitter.”

Ida, human companion to Rex

“Veronica is very reliable and kind with our dogs. They are punctual and continuously kept us updated. Veronica came to our house throughout the winter and recently watched our dogs at their house. The dogs are always happy and tired following their time with Veronica from all the good exercise. We would 100 per cent recommend Veronica for anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker/sitter.”

Marissa and Farley, human companions to Donnie and Dixie

“I am so happy to share my experience with Veronica as our dog walker. They walked our three large boisterous dogs while we were on holiday.  In the past I had a bad experience with someone taking care of our dogs while we were on holiday. Veronica was so understanding of my concerns and constant questions regarding care. We did end up going for a walk together a few times, it was wonderful to experience the trails they walk all the time and share one of our dogs’ favorites. It was sweet to see the excitement from the dogs the second time they saw Veronica. Like I said, we have three energetic dogs that need to be walked daily. Veronica was prompt and our dogs got a great walk with them. When there was a little mix up with the key (on our part) they were so accommodating while we got a key to the house! Veronica was truly kind to our three boisterous dogs!  The compassionate presence made our dogs’ lives easier while we were gone. I cannot express how much I appreciate all they did!”

Veronica went above and beyond when looking after our cat and our home. They sent daily updates and bonded so well with our cat, who is usually shy and takes a while to warm up to people. We will definitely be using Veronica’s services again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy pet and house sitter.

“My dog Teddy Bear for a very long time refused to walk with anyone but me. Then Veronica came into our lives, and that all changed. Teddy now looks forward to walking with them and walks for a full hour! Veronica is a gentle soul, and Teddy relates to that. I am so happy that my dog now is enjoying walking with someone besides me. They also house sat for me and, just amazing! Teddy and my cat were both very calm when I got home. Happy to see me but not anxious at all. The house was in perfect shape, and now I want no one but them looking after my place when I leave. Picture updates also happen, which also gives me peace of mind.”

Maggie, human companion to Teddy

In mid January we had lost our dog walker and were in need of a new one. We were very lucky to encounter Veronica. We set up a time for the initial visit, and they were prompt and accommodating. Best of all, our dogs fell in love instantly. They just have that knack in dealing with dogs of all persuasions. We really like Veronica and actually had them look after our dogs and house for a full week. The dogs loved it, and the pricing was great. If anyone is looking for a dog walker or a pet/house sitter, you would not go wrong with Veronica. Thumbs up, and we are very happy to have them in our lives.
