We love our Puppy Pals
Pet care experience
I am a stay at home Mom of 4 kids (2 of them have fur). Our 12 year old son has a dream of running a farm filled with dogs. Our 17 year old daughter is a huge help. Most of the guests choose to sleep in her room. She has started an animal rescue club at her high school and has a real passion for loving and being loved by all furry friends. We enjoy making new friends and have a few guests that we are able to see very often. It is wonderful to have them back over and over again. We have a great little fenced in yard and a dog park down the street. We are an active family who enjoys going for walks everyday. Our two furry children are both Cocker mixes that we rescued and are now a part of our family. We can't wait to meet you and the four legged members of your family. About this sitter: I always hope that any guest that leaves our home feels loved. That goes for our Puppy pals too. They will be treated like one of the family. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a dog as part of our family. Growing up we had large dogs. My husband and I raised our first baby from a puppy. She was a tan colored husky that was part of our family for 15 years. Her name was Puppy. We rescued Winnie about 4 months after loosing Puppy. She was almost 2 and had been at more than one shelter in her short life. We could not let her live another day without a family. She loves to sit and cuddle. About a year later I was asked by my sister in law who was fostering dogs to watch Matilda for a couple of hours. Our dear sweet Matilda had been taken from her Momma too early and dropped off at a shelter in Oakland. She does not always know that she is a dog and definitely acts like the baby of the family. We see all dogs as part of a family and they will be treated that way in our home. About my yard We have an average size yard. There is a tall hedge all the way around with a 4 ft. gate. There is grass and trees for shade. We have a spot that was once a garden but, is now more of a big digging spot for our son. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with medication. I have only had to give pills to dogs a couple of times but as far as following a schedule and keeping a routine goes my son had terrible asthma when he was an infant and needed to have his medication provided around the clock.
Reviews
Monica and her family has been watching our Delilah Puggle since she was a year old and she's nine now. We wouldn't trust her with anyone else to take care of our fur baby!
As always we can be rest assured leaving our puggle with Monica and her family. Delilah has stayed with them since she was 2 years old and she's now 8, I wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur baby!
We trust Monica so much. She always took great care of our Waffles. So much so that when we moved to the South Bay and got another dog we still make the drive up to Monica’s, so we know our girls are being well cared for. Her and her family are wonderful.
Waffles and Maple had a great time, they looked happy! Thanks for the great care!

Information Monica B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog is used to children. If they are afraid of cars or any other little quirks they might have. I want their stay to be a happy one for all of us.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I can take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood, Orange Park or one of the walking paths that are just down the street. There is a dog park 2 blocks away that we can spend time at as well. I only go when there are a few dogs and only when I am confident that it will be an enjoyable time for everyone. The paved paths are nice because they are quiet and safe. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I would have our visiting Pals sleep in the main part of our house. We live in a split level home. Our room and our two dogs sleep downstairs. The main floor is the kitchen, dining room and living room. Our children's rooms are up stairs. I am sure my son would love the company. I will have crates available if this is what you prefer. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home most of the day. I might run an errand or two. I have my own dogs here and I don't like leaving them for more than a couple of hours.
