Long time vet tech and furry mom

Pet care experience

I worked as a veterinary technician in small animal, specialty and emergency medicine for over 10 years. I’m now a marine biologist who has extensive times off work. I have one dog of my own at the moment but I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and snakes. I’ve also worked at a private zoo and ridden horses for much of my life. My dog is kennel trained and sleeps in the bed with me, but I’ll be the type of carer you would like me to be with your pet, so they are treated the same way they are by you. If you want them to have extra treats after dinner, then I’ll do that for them. As long as you let me know what the norm is for them, I’ll make sure to keep things consistent.

Monica took our dog on short notice for a 10-day trip (ended up being cut short though because of the virus). Monica was very proactive in gathering as much information about our dog as possible, which showed how much she cares for animals. During our time away Monica keep us updated with pictures and texts on how he was doing and what they were doing. Our dog needs a good deal of exercise and he got it with Monica. I highly recommend you use her services.

Monica has been pet/house sitting for me for over a decade. She is a very caring and conscientious person. I have never worried about my dogs and cats whilst in her care. We have taken extended vacations overseas and entrusted Monica with the care of our pets. Monica has some training in the veterinary field and as such is quite observant and in tuned to the signs that dogs or cats may not be feeling well, I highly recommend and trust Monica.

Information Monica A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all I can about their normal routine so I could follow it as closely as possible while you’re gone. I’d also like to know what they enjoy as well as any fears or apprehensions they may have.

A typical day

I can take your pup to their favourite dog park or a new one. I love going on long walks, so they’d get up to an hour walk if you’d want that for them.
