Availability

As an elementary school teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer and am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I am also available during the daytime on weekends and can often accommodate a variety of schedules. I love spending time with animals and look forward to providing them with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while helping pet owners feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. 🐾💕

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide care that matches their normal routine and helps them feel comfortable and secure. I have a spayed, 11-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier who has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care, especially as dogs get older and require a little extra love and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I also respect each pet's personality, whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calmer environment.

Information Monica A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for!! I am more than happy to accommodate whatever is needed for your dog to have a great experience while you are away.

A typical day

We can explore a big park near my house, play fetch, give them lots of belly rubs, and head scratches and just make sure your dog is having a great time!

Teacher Providing Care for Pets!

Pet care experience

As an elementary school teacher, I have dedicated my career to caring for and nurturing others, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and compassion to pet care. I’ve always loved animals and understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles or simply having a calm caring companion, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am dependable, attentive to details, and happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, or daily routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet parents and have a fun, positive experience to their furry friends! 🐶

Monica has always been an animal lover and has cared for our family's pets with so much love and attention. She is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. What stands out most is how patient and nurturing she is, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. She pays attention to details, follows instructions carefully, and truly treats pets like family members. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Monica caring for their furry friend.

I highly recommend Monica as a pet sitter and dog walker. She is dependable, compassionate, and someone you can count on to provide excellent care. I've seen how attentive she is with her own senior Yorkie and how committed she is to making sure pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. Monica is organized, communicates well, and takes her responsibilities seriously. Her caring personality and strong work ethic make her an excellent choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for their pet.
