Availability

I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I’m available for daycare until 3:30pm on weekdays. We take walks throughout the day (in non-summer months), making sure they get lots of exercise, fresh air, and fun. I genuinely love caring for dogs—it brings me so much joy—and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!

🐾It’s a Doodle Party!🐾

Pet care experience

I specialize exclusively in non-shedding breeds (pups with hair instead of fur!). Because of allergies in my home, I’m only able to welcome these specific coat types. ✨Boutique, in-home care with a true family feel; never kennel-based. I work from home so your dog is never alone for more than a quick errand. 📸Thoughtful, attentive care with regular photo updates. 🐾 I have two doodles: Betsy and Beans. They’re the best playmates for new dogs; they’ve never met a furry friend they didn’t love! Your dog is sure to have a blast. I’m also very accessible throughout the day if you ever need to reach me or check in. 🗓️ Limited availability—advance booking recommended 🧼 Grooming add-on: $30 wash, brush out and high velocity dry. Your dog will come home brushed out and fluffy.

Monica took great care of my puppy during his one-night stay. He got plenty of playtime, and I really appreciated how accommodating she was, especially since he’s such a Velcro dog and loves being close to people. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely book with Monica again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

My baby was in such good hands, she sent lots of pictures and updates while I was away for 5 days. She even gave him a bath before I picked him up. Cannot thank her enough for having August this past week. Her family was so great to see interacting and treating him like one of their own.

Monica was wonderful she was very communicative, and I loved getting pictures of Cruz while I was away. He looked like he was having such a great time, which made me feel really comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and would absolutely book with her again.
