Pet care experience
Many pet sitters possess various qualities that make them suitable for the job. However, some factors set me apart from the rest. Here are a few of them: * Strong passion for animals: I have a genuine love for animals and have grown up surrounded by pets of different breeds. This passion fuels my dedication to providing the best possible care for your furry companions. * Exceptional reliability and responsibility: I understand the trust you place in me when entrusting your pet's care. Therefore, I prioritize reliability and responsibility, ensuring that I adhere to your instructions and provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. * Tailored approach to pet care: Every pet has unique needs and preferences. I recognize this and take a personalized approach to pet sitting, adapting my care routines to suit each individual animal's requirements and ensuring their comfort and well-being. * Empathetic and compassionate nature: I have a natural affinity for animals and understand their emotional needs. I treat every pet with empathy and compassion, creating a safe and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. * Excellent communication skills: I maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates on your pet's well-being, addressing any concerns promptly, and ensuring peace of mind while you are away. * Flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs: I understand that pet care needs can vary, and I am available to provide flexible scheduling options, including overnight stays, daytime visits, and dog walking services, to adapt to your specific requirements. I believe that these qualities set me apart from other pet sitters and make me an ideal choice for entrusting your pet's care. My passion, expertise, reliability, and commitment to personalized, compassionate care ensure that your furry friend receives the love and attention they deserve
Reviews
Monica was fantastic - very communicative, understanding and playful with the pups. Even one of our kitties kept sneaking out with the pups and she was awesome with her. We will definitely continue to have Monica watch the kids during adventures!
Cats were in good health and happy when I got back. Monica did a good job looking after them.
Monica was great as always! Highly recommend!
Monica is the ultimate animal lover. I was almost a little jealous how quickly the dogs warmed up to her. We needed overnight care and reached out kind of last minute. Monica was very helpful by meeting and walking the dogs before the two nights of dog sitting. Highly recommend reaching out if looking for help with your animals. Very professional and reliable.

A typical day
Some fun activities I enjoy doing with the pets I watch include: 1. Engaging in interactive play sessions: I love playing fetch with dogs, using toys like Frisbees or tennis balls. It's a great way to keep them active and entertained. I also enjoy playing interactive games with cats, using toys like feathers or string to stimulate their hunting instincts. 2. Going for walks and adventures: Exploring different neighborhoods or nearby parks with dogs is always a fun activity. It allows them to experience new sights, smells, and sounds, providing them with mental stimulation and exercise. I always ensure their safety by using appropriate leashes and keeping a watchful eye on them. 3. Setting up obstacle courses: For both dogs and cats, setting up obstacle courses can be a fun challenge. This could involve using items such as tunnels, hurdles, or even homemade ramps for the dogs to jump over. For cats, I might create a maze-like setup using cardboard boxes or cushions for them to explore and navigate. 4. Providing puzzle toys and treat-dispensing games: To keep pets mentally engaged, I enjoy using puzzle toys and treat-dispensing games. These toys require dogs to think and problem-solve to obtain their treats or solve the puzzle. For cats, I might hide treats around the house for them to find, encouraging their natural hunting behavior. 5. Offering grooming sessions: I find grooming sessions to be a bonding experience with both dogs and cats. Brushing their fur, giving them a gentle bath, and providing nail trims can help them relax and feel cared for. Plus, it helps keep them clean and healthy! 6. Cuddle time and snuggles: Giving pets plenty of affection and attention is essential. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or simply spending quality time together, their comfort and happiness are always a priority. It's essential to adapt these activities based on the preferences and capabilities of each individual pet. I always prioritize their safety and ensure they have a great time while in my care.
