Pet care experience
I've been a lifelong pet owner & petsitter and that includes ANY kind of animal - dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, rabbits...from cute to creepy/crawly, I gotcha. I'm a current professional that works from home 2-3 days during the workweek and in my former career, I was a Vet Tech for 7+ years. I have a special place in my heart (and home) for all my brachycephalic (flat-faced, like my frenchies) breeds and can provide expert care, love & attention (especially during the hotter months). Don't hesitate to ask for a promo code or custom quotes for your other furry, scaly, or feathered friends (guinea pig, rabbit, reptiles, parrots/birds, etc.) I will do my best to make your pets feel secure, safe & loved. I am comfortable with giving any medications, helping with special diets (even happy to shop for you if you didn't have time before leaving on your trip), and am happy to accommodate any other special requests. Please feel free to contact me with any future care needs or questions!
Reviews
She was great with Azuki, wonderful dog person
I absolutely recommend Monica for all pet care needs. After a not-so-great boarding experience in the past we were very nervous to leave our dog anywhere but Monica’s gentle care and love for animals was immediately apparent and it put us at ease. She provides regular updates and is quick to respond. Our dog has been with Monica twice and just loves her and her pups as well. We will absolutely be rebooking again :)
Monica went above and beyond to care for our sweet girl. She was thoughtful and careful in introducing our pup to hers and sent regular updates. Lucy had the absolute best time. We are so appreciative of the care that she provided. Her love towards animals was so apparent. We will definitely be rebooking! It means so much to be able to trust someone else with our pup.
Monica is the best, she’s the Rover momma that other Rover mommas pick for their fur babies! My fat cat adores her and does so much better when I travel if Monica comes by. He has made it very obvious that he is Monica’s biggest fan!

I will respect your home and am very tidy & strive to leave spaces in better condition so you can come home at ease. I enjoy caring for all species (dog, bird, rabbit, cat, lizards/reptiles), and I am happy to provide care & attention as needed each day.
Information Monica P. would like to know about your pet
I’m happy to care for your pets as I would my own - but more importantly how you care for them. Please don’t hesitate to let me know how I can best treat your pet or the things they like and prefer.
A typical day
I love to gain the trust and affection of all pets, and even if they’re not particularly affectionate, that’s ok! I want them to know I respect their boundaries and will still love and care for them. My goal is a happy and safe pet that needn't worry while you’re away.

Availability
While I do work a few days in the office, I work from home 2-3 days per week (and I'm generally around every weekend) and love to spend time with and care for animals throughout the day. Drop-in availability varies by day, but generally between 10am-10pm and up to twice a day. Depending on the time of day, I may have two little helpers with me - my very pet-savvy & responsible/supervised twin girls :)
