Dog-loving cat mom!
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs since birth, and consider taking care of dogs as more of a privilege than a job. My parents currently have 5 full-sized dogs which I frequently take care of. I have taken each of the dogs to puppy pre-school, intermediate, and advanced classes, as well as assisted in agility training for multiple dogs. My major in undergrad was pre-veterinary medicine for three years, and I spent countless hours shadowing veterinarians throughout high school and college. I am more than comfortable handling large dogs, both on and off leash. I have had all sizes of dogs, ranging from 9 to 100 pounds. I am currently in graduate school for Clinical Mental Health Counseling with only one class most days. My flexible schedule allows me to be available to take care of dogs and cats throughout the week and weekends. I have a Subaru Forester big enough to transport dogs if need be. I currently live in an apartment near plenty of walking trails and parks. I feel comfortable walking and entertaining dogs of all sizes and energy levels.
Reviews
Monica did a great job cat sitting for us over the weekend! She shared updates/pictures frequently and was very communicative. I think its safe to say my cat enjoyed her company as well :) She even brought in a few packages for us and left the house spotless.
Monica was fantastic when she stayed with my 2 dogs and cat. She responded quickly to messages, gave me daily updates and sent photos, and the pets and house was clean and well cared for. My pets responded well to her from the very first meeting (not always a given with one of my dogs). We will definitely use her again.
Monica is amazing! She spent the weekend at my home with my 2 dogs and they had a great time! Monica is very responsible and a pleasure to work with.
Monica was a really fantastic sitter. She stayed 4 nights and gave such good loving care to our old pug who has a lot of needs. The house was neat and our pug was so relaxed she stayed asleep when we got home !! We will certainly be calling on Monica again when we next go away ???

I will care for your pets in whatever way makes you and them feel most comfortable - whether that be checking in and playing with them for a half hour, or house sitting and staying with them through the day and night.
Information Monica C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know a dog's age, weight, energy level, and comfort level with other dogs/humans. In addition, I would like to know if a dog is leash-trained, and if he or she has any exercise restrictions.
A typical day
I love taking dogs for walks, playing different games, and overall getting to know their unique personalities. I am always sure to mimic dog’s and cat’s routines so they feel as comfortable as possible when they’re away from their parents.
