Let YOUR Rover come over!

Set your mind at peace knowing that when you are away your dog will be in a calm, low-key household where I treat every dog as one of my own. There's a big comfy chair by the front window where they can watch the world go by, and a large, fenced-in backyard for many potty breaks and outdoor adventures. I work from home so your dog is rarely left alone. My husband is retired, so there's the additional help in having someone around the house. I've been dog-sitting for 15+ years so I am experienced with different personalities and situations, and I welcome all dogs to be part of my family, no matter how long the stay. My own 2 dogs have recently passed so while I don't have any dogs living with me, I have frequent doggie-guests (both daycare and overnight) so chances are your dog will have company while staying with me. Please note that I prefer dogs that are less than 25 lbs. I just don't have the strength to control larger dogs if they pull on the leash. And due to recently diagnosed allergies, I can only accept a limited number of short-haired dogs at a time.

Monica is always wonderful with Sadie, and we are so grateful to have this “home away from home” when she needs somewhere to stay!

Mochi stayed with Monica for 7 days and had an enjoyable time. She is an experienced dog handler and Mochi felt relaxed at her home. I received photos and updates from her. I would definitely send Mochi to Monica again.

Mónica took my doggo for his very first night away from home/us and it was great. The prep/discussions really helped and the updates were super helpful for myself :) she was kind, patient, and responsive. Thank you for making it an easy experience :)

Monica C. is a fantastic and professional sitter. She is a extremely reliable and truly passionate about animals. She went above and beyond, by sending me pictures and details about my dogs. It’s hard to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but Monica C. is the best. Thank you, Monica C.!

Schedule

I've always worked from home and dog-boarding and day care is very much a part of my daily routine. I've got a flexible work schedule so I plan my day with putting the dogs' needs at the top, making sure we have plenty of outdoor and play time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, fenced-in yard for plenty of playtime and a good game of chase. But I don't let the dogs outside without supervision. All my furniture is covered, so everyone is welcome to jump on the couch for a comfy nap.

A typical day

I've got a basket of dog toys that are always appreciated by visiting dogs. The backyard is large and the balls are ready to be thrown for a quick game of fetch. There's lots to explore both inside and outside!

Small and medium breeds are welcome to be part of the family! I need to know your dogs eating/potty/sleeping habits, what are they afraid of, and anything else you feel you should share so that your dog is well taken care of.
