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.

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.

Information Monica C. would like to know about your pet

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.

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!

Pet care experience

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 was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of our dog, Ryan, for five days, and we couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Monica kept us updated, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Monica—we'll definitely be booking with you again!

Monica took wonderful care of my Chihuahua, Ryan. She was kind, reliable, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Monica!

My wife and I went to Europe for two weeks. We were somewhat hesitant leaving our Lucy to a stranger, Monica is a wonderful lady opened up her home to Lucy like it was her own dog. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. I believe she truly loves them. She would send us lots of pictures, almost daily, letting us know her daily adventures inside her beautiful backyard. We would not hesitate for a second to ask Monica to look after Lucy again I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to have their dog loved and cared for by a true professional.

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