Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household

No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Monica C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. I prefer hosting a dog that is potty trained, not aggressive, and does not jump on couches/beds. In the evening, my husband will have our bedroom door shut when we go to bed so we prefer to have the dog sleep in the living room area by itself.

A typical day

I have a great neighborhood for walks. Lots of open space, not very crowded, small parks around, and lots of side walks. There's so much open green space behind my building to play fetch and run around.

Fun loving dog lover

Pet care experience

I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting!

We love Monica and so do our pups! We are moving back to CA, and incredibly sad we won’t be able to continue our relationship with Monica. She is kind, prompt, and an animal lover. She will care for your fur babies well!

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.
