I already love your dog!

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore all animals, especially dogs and cats. I have had my own share of pets in my lifetime and have always felt deeply honored to be entrusted to watch over many other pets within my community over the years. I strive to treat your animals with the same love, respect, and regard for their well-being that I would pay to my own babies. I have had over 10 years of experience watching over other's animals. I have traveled as close as next door and as far as Los Angeles and Washington D.C. to care for the animals I have built a loving and trusting relationship with. I have done a single walk or litter scooping with some pets, and house sat others while their mommy gave birth and helped facilitate the introduction to their new human sibling. I have worked with a range of personalities from pets that don't even want to be looked at to velcro pets who demand full-time attention and love. I have worked with puppies and kittens in the first months of their lives, as well as cared for elders in the last few days of their lives. I understand that your pets are as much a part of your family as anyone and I aim to build the trust required to set them at ease while you are away. I do this by adhering to your schedule and what you will teach me about their personalities, so they enjoy the comforts of their routines. I want to know your pets silly nickname and how they earned it, their favorite toys, favorite walking paths, preferred level of affection and attention, and anything else that will help me provide them with a stress-free environment and ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness.

Monica is great! We'd definitely love to work with her again. She sent us pics and updates daily, which made us feel safe knowing our pets were in good hands.

Monica was prompt and flexible in terms of adjusting to our travel schedule. She was great at getting our dogs out for multiple walks during the day. Our two dogs were well cared for by Monica, and we will definitely use her again!

Monica is simply the best!! She took care of our two dogs, one of which we only adopted a few weeks ago and is still in the throes of potty training. Monica couldn’t have been more patient, kind or communicative. We all love her!

Safety, trust & environment

My upmost priority while watching your animal is to their safety over anything else. We stay on familiar ground your animal is used to to help minimize risks. I also pay attention to their home environment to make sure it remains safe, comfortable, and hygienic. My second goal while watching your pet is to maintain their established routine as much as possible. I understand that keeping your pet in their familiar surroundings helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially while they are with someone new. My third priority is to put you at ease by keeping you updated on your pet's well-being with clear and frequent communication.

Information Monica B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog does around other dogs or animals we may see on a walk, and if they are a tugger so I am fully prepared to keep them safe!

A typical day

I love to engage dogs mentally as well as physically to truly exercise them fully. I always let walks and play happen at their pace so they can explore the paths we're on and engage with the world around them!
