I would definitely recommend Veteran Pet Care to my friends and use their services next time I go on vacation. I was out of the country with limited internet service. I received pictures everyday from Ronald of my kitties. I have 2 kitties and the thought of boarding them at the vet and being kept in cages was not a suitable option. I would definitely use Veteran Pet Services again when I go on vacation.
Details: Cat • 2 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Ron is the best. Hes been taking care of our fur babies for four years. He is always on time, takes time to play with Shadow and Tom and even cleans out the litter box. He goes above and beyond to take care of them while were out of town. Im always grateful to have someone come out our house to take care of them instead of taking them somewhere. Thank you Ron!!

Amazing experience. I have officially found the person that will take care of my pets. I could not have been happier. Updates at every visit! Plus he made me feel like he really loved my pets! He even took my 17 year old dog to the vet for us while we were 10 hours away. I highly recommend!

I went away for a week and Veteran Pet Care did an excellent job caring for my two cats. I really felt comfortable leaving them. I highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care
