Pet care experience

Calm, compassionate, fun care.

I have been caring for dogs, cats, and chickens for over 15 years. I love all animals, big and small! Two rescue cats, a Beagle-American Staffordshire Terrier mix, and a Smooth Collie mutt own me and don't mind sharing me with others. I currently care for a Great Pyrenees and a Black Labrador when their people go on vacations and can provide references upon request. I have cared for German Shepherds and Dobermans in the past as well. I love taking dogs for walks and giving belly rubs on the porch or by the fireplace. Your dogs, cats, or chickens will receive very personalized care when I am on the job. I believe in allowing the animal's personality to guide my care and understand that all animals have unique needs. I hope to meet your puppers, cat-dudes, or chickies soon!

House Sitting • Jul 25, 2026

We were so happy that Monica was available again to house sit! She is so good with animals and our dog Cadi loves her! Our new dog took to her almost immediately and was cuddling with her on the couch. She spends lots of time with our pets and shares photos. We have no concerns leaving our pets or our house in Monica's hands! This was the 5th time she's pet sit for us and every experience has been good, will definitely reach out to her in the future!

Monica is the best! She takes great care of our girl, the house, and has able to help us out more than once with little notice. We recommend her highly!

Monica was awesome as usual! Always super communicative, we can tell our dog is happy to be with her while we’re gone, and she keeps the house clean too. Highly recommend!!

No breed preferences. Does the dog have food allergies or medication needs that I must be aware of? Is your pet allowed on the furniture? What special needs must be met to make your dog happy?
