Pet care experience

A Young Heart Full of Love for Pets

Growing up with pets, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies through every stage. I handled feeding, walking, playtime, and grooming, including brushing, bathing, nail trims, and basic coat care. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and routines, and I provide patient, attentive, loving care that helps pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

Pets

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.

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!

Monica was truly incredible and one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She stayed in our home for four evenings caring for our 3 dogs, our cat, and even our fish, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent consistent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to actually relax while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many ways that made a real difference. She washed her dishes, did the hand towels she used, took the time to get our cat’s fountain running again using somewhat tedious directions, and even handled cleaning up some unexpected basement flooding after a major storm. Everything was taken care of thoughtfully and without us having to worry. We came home to a house that looked and smelled incredible. It was spotless, organized, and she paid attention to the smallest details, like setting lights back exactly how we had left them. It genuinely felt like walking into a calm, cared-for space instead of coming home to a to-do list. This experience honestly felt so much better than having a friend or family member help out. There was no guilt, no worrying about being a burden, and no second guessing anything. Monica is clearly experienced and professional, and it shows in how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. On top of everything else, she is just a genuinely kind, warm, and easy person to communicate with. I was honestly a little sad we didn’t get more time to be home and connect with her because she is such a joy to be around. We tried to make her feel welcome with snacks, cash, and a few small take-home gifts, but it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to the level of care she gave our home and our pets. Monica was truly a gift, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her any chance we get.

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!
