Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from my own two dogs and cat to my mom’s three dogs, and even my mother-in-law’s pets (two dogs, a cat, a lizard, and a small garden of chickens I help watch every summer!). Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they’re busy or traveling. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.

Monica also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, keep walks safe and on-leash, double-check doors and gates, and give plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re happy and cared for. At my home, pets enjoy a large, fully fenced backyard divided into two areas — one for play and potty breaks, and another with a big pool where dogs are welcome to swim if they enjoy the water. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, entertained, and loved whether they’re with me or in their own home.

Information Monica D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about your pet’s quirks — do they have a favorite toy, a routine that keeps them happy, or things that make them nervous? Knowing the little details helps me keep them comfortable, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between.
A typical day
I like to match each pet’s energy. For active dogs, we’ll explore parks, go on sniff walks, and play fetch. For more relaxed pets, we’ll enjoy calm walks, puzzle toys, and plenty of belly rubs so they feel at home.
