Information Monica A. would like to know about your pet

I have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs, including those recovering from surgery and those requiring medication administration—both oral and injectable. I’m certified in dog CPR and fully prepared to handle any issues that may arise. If your dog has any specific needs, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m always happy to help in any way I can.

A typical day

A typical day as a dog sitter starts with an early morning walk, followed by breakfast and some playtime to get their energy out. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they stay on their regular schedule, so you can feel confident that your dog’s routine will be maintained. I bond with dogs easily and naturally, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy.

Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a pet and house sitter with a genuine love for animals and a track record of 5 years of dedicated experience in the field. My journey as a pet caregiver began over 20 years ago, and since then, I've developed a special ability to quickly bond with animals, making them feel safe, cherished, and loved during your absence. As a responsible and trustworthy individual, reliability, integrity, and a strong work ethic are at the core of everything I do. You can rest assured that your beloved pets and home are in the best hands with me. Whether it's giving your furry companions plenty of cuddles, going for long walks, or providing them with the attention they crave, I am committed to maintaining their routines and happiness. I’m currently pursuing a degree in advanced practice registered nursing, I am seeking recurring house and pet sitting opportunities to complement my passion for caring for animals. My nurturing nature extends from the pets I care for to the homes I look after, ensuring everything is in order and secure. With me, you'll find a devoted caretaker who treats your pets and home as if they were my own. Let me bring peace of mind to your travels while providing your pets with the love and companionship they deserve. Get in touch today, and let's discuss how I can make your next trip worry-free and filled with happy tails!

Monica is in a league of her own. I’ve never come home to a cleaner apartment. She sends daily updates on how my cats are doing and always leaves my place better than I can ever expect or hope. After just 3 stays, I can tell my cats trust and feel comfortable with Monica. 10/10.

Monica was unbelievable with my 2 cats, Tommy and Finn. She checked in consistently with me while I was gone with videos and updates of how they were doing. She followed the routine perfectly and left my apartment in amazing condition which was a huge bonus for me. I highly recommend Monica to be your pet sitter! 10/10.
