Full time expert pet care!

Pet care experience

So I see you’re looking for the right person to look after your four-legged children. So stressful; I feel you. If you are looking for someone who is experienced and responsible, and also knows that animals aren’t just pets, they’re family, you have come to the right place. My name is Monica and I have never known life without animal companions. I was born into a home with two cats and I got “my” first dog when I was 8 years old. After the trainer who my parents hired was too rough with him, I insisted to my parents that he never come back and I would train him myself. They were skeptical, but allowed it. I taught him to sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, and walk on his hind legs. My parents were so impressed that they encouraged me to offer my services to the neighbors. Soon I was walking and training dogs in my neighborhood for $2 at 8 years old. Fast forward; I am now 40 years old. I didn’t become the next Cesar Milan (though we share the same birthday). However, my love for animals has never waned. I continued dog, cat, and house sitting throughout my time at college and during my career for extra income, sometimes kid sitting as well. I have references from happy clients to help put your mind at ease. I understand how stressful it is to leave your babies, especially with someone you do not know. As a cat mom of 17 years myself, it is of the utmost importance to me that you feel as secure as possible that your fur children have been left in capable and loving hands. I look forward to hearing from you.

Monica is the best! She has taken such great care of our two rambunctious dogs. She is super-communicative, leaves great reports, takes wonderful pictures. Thank you, Monica!

Monica was on time and sent several pictures during each drop in visit. She quickly established a relationship with our new puppy and put him at ease.

Monica is compassionate, professional, and such a blessing! My two kitties felt comfortable with her right away, and her photos and warm, wonderful updates put my anxious heart at ease. She clearly made them feel so loved and safe! I'm incredibly grateful I found her, and would recommend her to everyone!

Every animal is unique and has their own routine so I make sure to get a thorough understanding of every pet and clients needs. From there I work with pet parents to create a care plan that works best for them and their animals.

Information Monica B. would like to know about your pet

I like to get a full profile of an animal so I can be as prepared as possible. Important information includes routine, dietary requirements, medications if applicable, any idiosyncrasies or behaviors to be mindful of. As a general rule, I do not allow dogs I watch to interact with other animals or humans while out on walks unless discussed ahead of time with the owner.

A typical day

I like to let my clients tell me what their usual routines are for their animals so I can keep as close to that as possible.
