Pet care experience

Reliable Dog Sitter/ Walker

I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and currently have four dogs of my own, ranging from giant breeds to my small Corgi, Zeek. Having a variety of dogs has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors who need extra patience and attention. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and learned the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm companion, I will treat them like one of my own and provide plenty of love, attention, and updates throughout their stay.

Monica was great! She sent lots of photos and updates on Sarge and was very responsive. Sarge was very well cared for, as was my home, upon my return.

I’ve known Monica for years, and I can honestly say she has a huge heart for animals. She is kind, patient, dependable, and treats every pet like they’re her own. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or giving extra love and attention, Monica always goes above and beyond. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her caring for their furry family member, and I would trust her with my own pets without hesitation.
