A Heart Full of Love for Pets
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. At 21, I may be younger than some pet sitters, but caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had my own cats and dogs for around 10 years and have experience caring for both cats and dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, temperaments, and routines. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to understand their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs or instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, independent, or happiest curled up beside someone, I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to make them feel safe and loved. With dogs, I enjoy providing plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise, walks when requested, and lots of relaxation and cuddles afterward. With cats, I love spending time playing, bonding, and giving them plenty of attention and affection on their terms. Most importantly, I want both you and your pets to feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give your pets a happy, comfortable experience while giving you the peace of mind that they’re being genuinely loved and looked after.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar space. I’ll follow your routines for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I’ll also make sure your home stays tidy, with fresh water, clean litter boxes, and any toys or bedding returned to their usual spots. I’m respectful of your space, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
This was our second time having Monica stay in our home with our 3 dogs and 2 cats and she is just incredible to work with! I have total peace of mind while out of town knowing she is taking care of our home and animals. We cannot recommend her enough!
This was the second time Monica looked after our two cats, and everything was absolutely perfect! She kept us updated the entire time and sent the sweetest pictures. She also took great care of the house, but most importantly, our cats felt incredibly comfortable around her. Monica truly is the perfect pet sitter!
Monica is a terrific dog sitter. I would recommend her. She took care of my five dogs without any incident that I am aware of.😂 we would definitely use her again. She sent us the cutest pictures and had great communication.
Monica was wonderful with our "kids"!! She took great care in making sure they were taken care of, with the feeding, letting them out, letting them in, belly rubs, pets and everything. They were happy with her care for sure. Highly recommend Monica as a House Sitter. Everything was taken care of just great.
Monica was the best! Even though I just moved into my place and still have boxes everywhere she didn't mind at all. She took good care of my kitties scoop the litter box and everything looked just like I left it when I came home. She even went above and beyond and washed the sheets she slept in and left me clean sheets so I could easily put them on and go to bed after a long day of traveling. I highly recommend her and would use her again and probably will!
Monica was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, always responsive, and kept us updated the entire time. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation because we had a great feeling about her from the very beginning. When we came back, the cats were happy — and that’s all we could ever ask for. She also sent us very cute pictures throughout the stay. Thank you so much, Monica!

Schedule
I work part-time and don’t have school, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m happy to help with pet sitting or dog walking any day of the week, and I can easily adjust to fit your needs. I have my own transportation, so I can come to your home or take your pet out for walks. I’m available anytime, but I’m especially open on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests too if needed!
