Pet care experience

Paws-itively the Best Care

With years of experience and a lifelong love of animals, I offer reliable and compassionate pet sitting you can trust. As a dedicated pet lover who has cared for animals my entire life--including working at a vet in my younger years, fostering and rehoming abandoned pets--I understand just how important your furry baby is to the family. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, providing them with the attention, comfort, and care they deserve while you are away. I have experience in administering medication if need.

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the pet's needs, while you are away, I'll make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe and happy in their own home. Schedule walks, feeding and belly rubs to their schedule. I'll also provide fresh water, playtime and treats (if allowed). I can also administer any needed medications, and keep up with their usual routine to minimize stress. I'll also offer plenty of love, attention and companionship to ensure they feel secure while you are gone. I can also bring in the mail, packages, water plants and keep an eye on your home for added peace of mind.

Monica was fantastic with Storm from the moment she dropped in to meet him prior to her visits and every time she came to care for him. Her updates and pictures made us feel so at ease knowing he was being taken care of and you could tell that she genuinely loves these little fur babies. We would not hesitate to work with Monica again or refer her to others. She was great!!

I can’t express how much our family loves Monica. She is so dependable, loving and trust worthy. Our furry babies love her! We can see how much she loves our dogs. If they need anything she is there. We have used her for quick trips to the vet and when we come home from our vacations or work trips our home is spotless and the dogs are stress free. It’s almost like we weren’t even gone hahaha. She is great.

Monica is wonderful. Our pup and cats love her. She has been helping us out for several years when we take our family vacation. When our dog sees her coming for a visit, she goes absolutely crazy with excitement. That makes us trust Monica in our home with our babies.

We have hired Monica on several occasions to watch after our very needy and particular dog and a cat. We are extremely picky in who we trust and cannot rave enough about Monica! She is absolutely amazing, loving, honest with great communication skills. She exceeded all of our expectations every time. When we went on vacation for 2.5 weeks, she sent us updates and photos every day. She treated our fur babies like they were her own. Monica kept an eye on our house as well and when we came back home, our house was cleaner than when we left. She truly takes her time to learn everything she can about the pets ahead of time. We trust her completely and will be using her again, as we have several events coming up. Cannot recommend Monica enough. Whether you need occasional pet care, or longer term - Monica is your go to! We recommend her 100% and just love her!

I think it’s very important that I meet your dog ahead of time with you so they know that you trust me which will still trust in your pet. That way I can see their demeanor and how they react to me one on one or in a social situation.
