Pet care experience

Your Fur-babies, are my Fur-babies

I truly LOVE animals, I’d adopt them all if I could. Whether I’m caring for energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra patience, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to their needs. I’ll also water your plants, bring in your mail, and send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m new to rover but not to pet sitting :)

Monalene did an excellent job! She provided enthusiastic and attentive care to our cats, and she was very communicative during the entire process. She provided regular updates and photos of the cats, and she picked up on their personalities immediately. She is trustworthy, kind, and very good at taking care of animals. 10/10 - would recommend to a friend.

She took such great care of my pups! I swear it’s as if she is a dog whisperer, she’s the only sitter my German Shepherd actually behaves around, and he is so happy to see her every time! Very professional, always on time, and I never come back to a stressed dog or a messy house. I wouldn’t trust anyone else as much as I trust Monalene.

Monalene has been the best dog sitter I have ever had the pleasure of booking. Truly world class! Absolutely phenomenal! Your pets will thank you!

Monalene did a wonderful job taking care of my two senior dogs. I was nervous about leaving them, but she kept me updated with photos and even was great with our boys medication needs. Having someone you trust to come in your home and be attentive with your furry children makes such a difference for you and your pets! Highly recommend her and would use her again.

We were staying at Carolina Beach with our dogs, one of which has major separation anxiety especially when traveling. Lena quickly won both dogs over and kept them occupied while my husband and I could get out for a few hours. Will definitely contact her again when back in area.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to adjust activities to what they enjoy most. Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, interactive toys, outdoor time, belly rubs, or simply relaxing together, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

Please let me know about any specific needs, routines, preferences, or behaviors your pet has that would help me provide the best possible care. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, anxieties, triggers, or special accommodations, I want to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
