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.

We were so grateful to have found such a reliable, trustworthy and kind pet sitter. She was absolutely dependable. We were worried that Reilly was going to be troublesome for her. But she makes us feel comfortable to leave him with her and our Reilly played the whole entire time he was there with the other small dogs. Monica kept us informed with photos during his short stay and ensure us that he is having tons of fun. We are so thankful for her kindness and hospitality. Thank you so much Monica - you are the best !

I was a bit nervous leaving Korra for almost 3 weeks but Monica made the experience very smooth and provided frequent updates. Monica had a great home set up for boarding dogs and Korra had lots of fun!

As soon a I met Monica, I knew she would be a good fit for us. Monica watched my dog for day care and boarding. Monica was wonderful with my dog, and Gemma immediately took to Monica. She sent updates and photos which I appreciated. You can see that she is a truly caring person and loves dogs. I have already booked her again!

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!
