Heartfelt Care for Every Tail 🐾💛

My love for animals started early... I got my first dog at 10, and ever since, caring for them has been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve learn to read pet behaviour, body language, and training methods to provide thoughtful, compassionate, and professional care to every animal I meet. I’m constantly learning... reading, observing, and applying gentle techniques to help dogs and cats feel safe, balanced, and understood. Whether it’s easing separation anxiety, building confidence in timid pets, or reinforcing good manners in puppies, I approach each one with patience and respect for their unique personalities. I work full-time caring for pets in a calm, structured home environment, with a fenced yard for play and exploration. Every visit or stay is tailored to each pet’s rhythm... combining affection, routine, and mindful attention. Cats have their own cozy, quiet spaces to relax, while dogs enjoy walks, enrichment, and calm companionship. I believe in creating trust and joy, one tail at a time. 🐾💛

House Sitting • Aug 06, 2026

She took great care of our cat, dog, and home, with lots of updates throughout the week that we were away. I have already booked her for a future date. I would highly recommend Monica as a pet-sitter!

Monica stayed at our house for a week and took excellent care of our standard poodle. She sent frequent updates and photos. She was very attentive and sent a concerned message when my dog threw up the first day. I reassured her it was just separation anxiety but I really appreciate it that she checked in. I would definitely get her again.

House Sitting • Jul 16, 2026

Monica and Bruno took care of our two high energy Aussies, while we were traveling internationally and did an exceptional job! Monica has clearly lots of experience, love and intuition for dogs and was very capable of handling our sometimes challenging dogs! We got daily updates with many pictures, communication was excellent. The house was in great condition when we came back. We felt very comfortable leaving our two crazies in their care and are looking forward to future sits! Thank you, Monica and Bruno!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a calm, loving, and pet-friendly space where your furry friend will always feel safe, comfortable, and deeply cared for. I work from home full-time, so I’m always present... offering constant attention, gentle supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a spacious fenced backyard for safe play and fresh air, shared with a gentle senior neighbour dog who loves calm company and helps new pups settle in with confidence. For energetic dogs, we love heading to the beautiful park right next door or exploring some of Victoria’s stunning hiking spots; it’s always a success! They return home happy, relaxed, and ready for a cozy nap. If your companion prefers quiet time, the house offers soft blankets, cozy corners, and sunny windows perfect for resting and watching the world go by. I tailor every stay to your pet’s personality, "whether they crave adventure or calm," ensuring they feel loved, secure, and understood. Every moment here is guided by safety, empathy, and genuine affection; always supervised, always from the heart. 🐾💛

A typical day

No two days are ever the same here; every pet has their own rhythm, and I love shaping our days around what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. Some mornings begin with playful time in the backyard or a peaceful walk along the quiet trail behind my home, far from traffic and busy streets. It’s a calm, safe space where dogs can explore, sniff, and relax without distractions. On weekends, if your dog enjoys adventure, we might go for a gentle hike through one of Victoria’s beautiful nature spots... a favourite activity that leaves pups joyful, grounded, and ready for a cozy nap when they return. For calmer companions, there’s plenty of rest, cuddles, and cozy corners bathed in sunlight. I’m home full-time, so your pet is never left alone, always supervised, understood, and surrounded by care. Every day flows naturally around your pet’s needs, filled with movement, calm, and heart. The kind of balance that helps them feel safe, confident, and loved. 🐾💛

Every pet is unique, and good care always starts with clear communication. Please share your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special needs; even the little quirks that make them who they are. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy they’ll feel here. It’s also important for me to know: 🐾 Their comfort level with other calm dogs, since my gentle senior neighbour pup sometimes shares the backyard for quiet company. 🦴 Their potty and hygiene routines, especially after outdoor time: I always make sure everyone stays clean, relaxed, and cared for. 🍽️ Any allergies, special diets, or food sensitivities, so meals remain safe and consistent. 🎾 Their favourite activities and energy level: from relaxing walks along the quiet trail to weekend hikes or cozy naps in sunny corners. 💕 Sleeping preferences or comfort items: blankets, toys, or anything that helps them feel at home. If your dog joins hikes or long walks, please make sure they arrive with a secure harness and leash suited to their size and strength. This helps me keep them safe and comfortable during outdoor adventures. Please also ensure your pet comes with everything they need: food, leash, harness, poop bags, medications (if any), and any essentials that bring them comfort. When everyone arrives prepared, we can focus on what matters most: a happy, safe, and loving experience for your furry friend. 💛🐾
