About: I grew up in a house where we always had pets. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals starting with my own 2 pups I have helped raise since I was 10! One of which lived to be 15 years old. I have experience caring for senior cats, large breed dogs, puppies, a bunny, and even some chickens! Whether it’s going for a walk or just keeping your pet company, I treat any pet like family. Big or small, young or senior. I hope you can consider helping me get started on the Rover app! I’m currently volunteering in a research lab as I prepare for graduate school, which gives me a flexible weekly schedule. This allows me to dedicate focused, reliable care to the pets I work with. I’m happy to adjust my availability week to week to best support you and your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and calm, you know them best! I am committed to building trust through clear communication and dependable care.

About: I've been around pets all my life, and have watched my parents puppy on multiple occasions. I treat all pets as my own, with love! I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule is very open. I'm only away in the evenings for a couple of hours for my sons muay thai practice. I have a home with a big fenced backyard for your pups to run around and enjoy. I only have 1 senior cat that keeps to himself.

About: Hi ya! I've been a pet owner since I was a little kid. I've been around all different breeds, sizes and ages, and have yet to meet a doggy I didn't like. I currently work remotely in a spacious clean apartment. Although I don't have my own companion at the moment, I am able to spend time assisting others with their pet's needs. I think the most important thing is that these family members feel loved and get the attention they deserve. Thank you! I work from home in a project based job. I can work from anywhere as long as my laptop can come along. It’s just me on my own for most of the day so I have plenty of time to step away and keep an eye on any furry friends. I live in a second story apartment with a small patio. For the most part, pets would remain inside supervised. On walks, this small community has plenty of yardage, away from busy streets and high traffic areas.

Monique H.
“Hello, My name is Honey, I've known Monique all her life for 40 years, and she has always shown incredible love and care for animals. When Monique watched my dog, Booboo for 4 days they went above and beyond to make sure my booboo was comfortable and happy. Monique sent me regular updates and pictures, which helped ease my anxiety of leaving BooBoo. Monique did both check ins and she boarded Booboo at her house overnight. I highly recommend Monique to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter/walker. Thanks, Honey Hernandez”
