Pet care experience

I have a 10 year old dog named Oatie who lives with me in East Austin. I'm currently only accepting bookings for home stays (preferably where my dog Oatie is also welcome). I have a car so I can access most parts of the city. My favorite part of every day is spending time with my dog Oatie! I love meeting new dogs and getting a chance to spend time with them too. Oatie is my first dog — he is a mixed breed, and also an emotional support dog. I love every type of dog, and welcome all breeds! I know that all dogs have unique personalities and needs, and I am here to learn from each dog in my care.

She took great care of Logan and sent pictures frequently so I could see how he was doing. I would definitely recommend Monica to watch your pets.

Our dog had a wonderful stay with Monica and her dog Oatie. Monica was sure to ask us about our needs and preferences, took excellent care of Charley, and made sure to keep us updated with photos while we were away. Her dog is very well behaved and got along great with our dog. Highly recommended!

I would love to get to know your dog and help you provide the best care possible for them! I have experience working full-time and studying while taking care of my dog, and I know that it can be difficult to always provide as much time as your dog deserves! I would love to help out and make sure you and your dog are as happy as possible.

Information Monica B. would like to know about your pet

So I can provide the best care possible, I’d like to know about your dog’s energy level, temperament, feeding schedule, and any special needs. I would also like to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, as they will be spending time with my dog Oatie.

A typical day

In the morning before I go to class, we’ll go out for a walk and have breakfast. In between classes, I’ll come back to check on your pup and go for another walk. In the evening, we’ll have dinner and go for a longer walk, maybe to a nearby park! Afterwards, we can hang out and play with some toys. My dog Oatie and I love to play in the yr. My yard isn't fenced in all the way, but it does have some room to run around. And there are always people around at home who love to play with dogs. I live with roommates who help out with taking care of Oatie at times. They love to play with the dogs who stay with us!

I’m a dog owner, dog sitter, and PhD student studying sociology at UT Austin. As a dog mom myself, I know how important your dog is — they’re a member of your family. I am a dedicated, thorough pet sitter who also makes sure dogs have a lot of fun in my care.
