Pet care experience

Everything You Need Under One Woof.

20 years experience as a dog trainer. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I really love what I do. This isn’t just a job for me but it’s an absolute blessing to be able to love your pet as if they were my own! I have been dog training, caring, fostering, and sitting for a long time so I know pets. I can tell when something seems off with your pet and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, secured, and loved beyond words. Friends, family, and clients know that they are trusting their loved ones to a well-established, educated, and experienced professional - just call me the Dog Whisperer! Every pet is an individual with unique behavior, so I offer personalized pet care to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. You don’t have to wonder who is caring for your furry family members.

Monica did such a great job watching our dog, Gus, for 6 days! Drop off / pick up was easy, and we recieved regular updates. Thanks Monica for watching Gus!

Monica is so detail oriented and gets to know your dog really extensively before the first visit so she can make them feel comfortable in her home. We loved receiving photos of Harry & daily updates on how he was doing. We felt relaxed knowing Monica was taking great care of Harry and will definitely board Harry with Monica again.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 11, 2026

We chose Monica because it was clear from the start how much she cares about the dogs she watches. She took the time to learn about Tony’s personality and needs so she could make sure he’d be comfortable in her home and around other dogs. Tony had a great stay and came home happy and tired. We especially appreciated the positive socialization opportunities he had while he was there. We’d definitely book with Monica again!

Safety, trust & environment

‼️VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ‼️ DOGGY DAY CARE is a total of 10 hours. Anything beyond that is $10 an hour. Any care that requires late pick up between 9pm-11pm an additional flat fee of $20 will incur regardless if care is under 10 hours. All fees will be modified in your Rover account. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding ☺️. For boarding, Rover will automatically adjust extended stay rates as needed. If you’re looking for a place that can easily accommodate your fur baby then look no further. I have a comfy home and a friendly service dog to keep your fur baby company. They are free to roam, or I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community that has gated and open field dog parks so your pet will have plenty of options.

Pets

A typical day

Your pet will delight in an indoor and outdoor space within a safe, clean, and cool environment. We’ll go on a walking tour of the neighborhood, explore a park, play some games, maybe learn a new trick or two, take a nap together, sit and watch the sunrise and sunset, lounge and watch a tv or movie, and more!

Monica can host up to 2 pets per night
To make sure everything goes smoothly while you’re gone, here’s a few things I need to know about your pet ahead of time: • Their care safety plan that lists emergency contacts, such as your veterinarian, as well as a history of health concerns for your pet. • If applicable, a list of your pet’s medications and copy of your pet insurance card. • Your dog’s daily routines. • Your pet’s daily food intake, including dry food, wet food and treats. • Your dog’s favorite games and toys. • Your dog’s personality — do they get along with other animals and people? Does your pet have specific aliments or any anxieties?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
