Pet care experience

Walks, Treats & Belly Rubs Included

All my life, I thought I was a cat person. Then Jameson and Christopher happened… and I got converted. 😂🐾 Now I research dog behavior, work on training and commands, and probably get way too excited when they listen and learn something new. I’m patient, very hands-on, and affectionate. I believe structure and consistency are the key to almost everything. I also have two tweens who help care for our dogs and absolutely love having another furry friend around to play with and give attention to. With me, your dog gets walks, playtime, attention, treats (with your permission!), belly rubs, and people who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. And because I speak English and Spanish, my dogs are bilingual. 😂 So there’s a small chance yours goes home knowing a little Spanish too. 😉🐾

Monica was amazing and a total life-saver! We needed last minute boarding for our labradoodle puppy while on vacation and she responded immediately and was the absolute best! She loved on our puppy and sent updates and pictures and we knew he was having the best time! Would give more than 5 stars if we could! Thanks so much, Monica!!

Schedule

I’m a full-time mom, and I homeschool my two boys, which means my schedule is flexible, intentional, and home-centered. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training, and supervision are part of my normal rhythm. Routine and reliability matter in my household. Pets are supervised, engaged, and treated like family, not left alone for long stretches.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets the same way I care for my own kids: with routine, attention, and respect. I stick closely to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and home rules. While I don’t have a patio, we’re five minutes from the dog park and can take daily walks to nearby nature spots.

Pets

We usually hit the dog park twice a day, take 3 neighborhood walks, and enjoy plenty of downtime at home while we’re cooking, doing schoolwork, or just relaxing.

Tell me anything that will help me better understand your dog, their personality, routine, energy level, favorite things, fears, quirks, and any medications or special needs. Most importantly, let me know how they do with other dogs and kids. 🐾 The more I know, the more I can make them feel at home!
