Your dog is family to me too

Pet care experience

I'm an avid dog lover who has owned dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life and I've always felt like I've had a special bond with them. I have a 5 year old pitbull and 1 year old Frenchie that I train myself. They challenge me to understand dog psychology and to be very patient. I've dealt with aggressive, overly excited, high energy and stubborn dogs, so their isn't a lot I haven't seen. I'm active so I would enjoy dogs who love to run, but I'm also accepting of the dogs that like to just cruise on the leash. I understand that dogs are part of the family, so I'll treat your dog like so, with lot of love and patience.

Monica is one of the kindest and most loyal person I have had the pleasure of knowing. She is a wonderful person who has an immense passion for dogs. She has had dogs her entire life and from what I have seen, in the seven years I have known her, her dogs are the most important things to her. There is no doubt in my mind she would provide any dog she walks with the same love and care that she gives her own. She would make a great asset to this company and any owner would be lucky to place their dog in the car of Monica.

Monica is a caring, protective and nurturing person, and she will not handle any slander about animals but most importantly dogs. She always says they don't deserve us. For as long as I've known her she's spoken about her dogs she has and has been great with taking care of them. I've even seen her take care of her pups (in which she has three currently), and I can see how attached they are to her and how they also have a lot of respect for her. She has owned small and big dogs and is very good with disciplining, teaching and loving them. She would never neglect them or not protect them. She's very smart, level headed and responsible. She wants her dogs and any dogs in her company to be safe and comfortable at every moment. I think she could have a house of 20 dogs and handle each one with ease and make sure they're happy. She loves dogs and would make an outstanding dog walker.

Monica is very responsible and trustworthy dog sitter. You can tell she has a lot of experience, because of the amazing way she has with dogs. I give her a 10/10 and would definitely hire her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I can easily crate your dog if necessary and make sure they are tended to before I leave. When we are on walks I am always on high alert for the safety of your dog. I understand that unpredictable things can happen so I am always ready to react accordingly.

Information Monica A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has socialization issues, medical issues or behavioral issues. To be safe I will never let your dog interact with anyone besides me without your permission but it’s good to know.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. Maybe we’ll work on tricks ( I did teach my roommate’s cat how to sit). I like to stick close to the neighborhood and learn my routes, but I never stick to the same one 2 days in a row.
