Pet care experience

Loving all fur babies since 1986!

I have always had a passion for animals, and have spent most of my adult life pursuing a career in the animal world. My animal experience started out small, working at a healthy pet food store. I then began a Veterinary Assisting course while living in Arizona, and worked part-time at a dog boarding facility while I completed the program. After that, I moved back to Washington for good, and spent about 4 1/2 years working as a dog walker. I currently have over 5 years of experience working at a Veterinary Hospital, 3 of those years working as a Veterinary Assistant. I now have a vast array of experience in the animal world. I have a fair amount of experience with basic obedience training gained from working one on one with a behaviorist as a dog walker, to raising my own dog from puppyhood. I am well versed in administering medications, as well as routine preventive care such as trimming nails, ear cleanings and anal gland expressions.

Unfortunately, I do not plan to offer overnight in-home services at this time. No matter what, love and safety are the top priority at all times no matter where we are.

Dog Walking • dic. 12, 2021

Monica is so sweet and Ella (our dog) gets so excited when she arrives for her walk! Monica is very punctual and communicative. She has been a lifesaver for me, tiring Ella out with 2+ mile walks midday so she’s calmer the rest of the day. I highly recommend!

I think our cats had a good time with Monica. They didn't tear up anything in the house. They were happy to see us when we got home.

Our cats are very shy. After the second visit they came out to see Monica. This is very rare for them to do this.

Monica is so wonderful with the cat. Our cat does not like any new faces and runs and hides at loud noises, Monica is always calm and reassuring, spending time and talking softly to the cat while she was in the house. Monica is are number one go to person when we need a pet sitter. Mike

It is important to know any aggressive or reactive behaviors, the propensity to grab things off the ground like sticks/bones/rocks etc. If your dog likes to chase critters or cars, and also any trigger spots in your neighborhood such as where a dog they don't like lives.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
