Pet care experience

Ready for pets and love.

We’re retired pet lovers starting a new chapter in life. With all our kids grown and out of the house, we now enjoy our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Kendall — complete with a large yard and lots of love to give! We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention. Our home may feel a little too quiet these days—so we’d love to fill it with happy paws and wagging tails. ✨ Pickup and drop-off available for a fee, depending on your location 🗣️ English & Español spoken

Monica was fantastic. I felt very comfortable with her the moment we met, a day prior to dropping off Allie at her house. She kept me informed daily about Allie and provided pictures of her outings. I recommend Monica 100% - Very loving with Allie. She has a genuine love for dogs.

Monica & Alonso took the best care of our beautiful Ginger. They were pacient and understood exactly what she needed to feel comfortable and open up. We received daily updates and plenty of pictures. When we picked Ginger up, it was clear that she had an amazing time and was cared for with love. We'll definitely come back ❤️

Dog paradise! Our pups stayed 3 nights with Monica and Alonso. They have a very nice home with a perfect shaded, fenced backyard, they welcomed us into their home upon arrival. They are retired and have all of the time to care for dogs and are so nurturing. They also sent many pictures which was nice. When we came to pick up our dogs, they actually wanted to go back inside their house, which is always the best sign!

Schedule

As a retired couple, we have full availability during the week and weekends. Our daily routine is calm and flexible, which allows us to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. We wake up early, spend time in the yard or go for walks (if needed), and we’re home most of the day to make sure pets are never alone and always feel cared for. Afternoons are for playtime, cuddles, or rest, depending on the pet’s needs. We’re also flexible and happy to follow any special routines or schedules. Your pet will be a loved part of our peaceful daily life.

Safety, trust & environment

We care for pets in a calm, loving environment. In our home, they’ll enjoy a large, secure yard for play and exercise, and a clean, cozy space indoors where they can relax and feel at home. We’re always present, making sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine. We make sure they’re fed on time, walked if needed, and given lots of affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.

A typical day

We love walking our dogs, and in the neighborhood where we live, they are welcome. It is a very safe neighborhood for them. We also have a large yard for them to play.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Monica & Alonso can host up to 5 pets per night
I only ask that if your pet requires medication, you provide me with a detailed list of instructions. I also like to know what makes them happy and what might upset them—it helps me make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I prefer smaller breeds, although I do have experience with larger dogs.
