Safety, trust & environment

Generally there are signs that tell you how an animal is feeling or will react. I’m not an expert but, animals tend to be easier to read than people. I know home looks different to every pet parent. My motto is simple, don’t hurt people or take their stuff.

Information Monica D. would like to know about your pet

Any breed is welcome so long as they are not aggressive towards me. It works best if I come to your home to meet your pet before the actual sitting. This is a great way to ensure your pet will be more comfortable with a stranger in their home.

A typical day

We will enjoy walks through the neighborhood! Sometimes there are opportunities for dogs to make friends, or go on field trips! If you have a cat or older/injured pet, sitting with them is absolutely fine too.

Canine CPR & First AID Trained

Pet care experience

"Animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do." ― Gregory Maguire “A dog is one of the few things that, is exactly what it seems to be.” Avoid stress, dog agression, and the spread of canine illness with drop in care. At this time I offer care to visit, feed, and walk. If you need someone to check in on your elderly loved one+pet, I'm your person. If you have guardianship of a breeder owned dog I'm also familiar with that. Whether it was growing up in 4-H dog training, agility, and show or simply owning and caring for pets, I have always been around animals. In 2017 I underwent 5 predatory brain $urgeries. In the year long process Theda Care opened up my position for hire. With a slow recovery came pet sitting, and I have never been happier! Thank God! Our Family has 2 dogs (Kolby and Sage), 1 rabbit, and fish.

Thank you so much for being so flexible and helping get some of Titus' energy out to make life easier for the family when we were out of town! They said he was zonked out pretty much all afternoon/evening!

Monica was a huge help with our cats! Great communication and loved the photo updates we received each day. Definitely plan to rebook with her if we need help again with our pets!

Monica went above and beyond our expectations. She added a visit because of a change in our plans. This was during a huge snowstorm! She cared as much for our pups as we do.
