Information Monica G. would like to know about your pet

Before your pup joins us, we take the time to get to know them intimately. We want to ensure that every aspect of their routine is tailored to their individual needs. This includes understanding their feeding schedule, familiarizing ourselves with the commands they know, and being aware of any allergies or sensitivities. We also prioritize their comfort and bedtime routine. Do they prefer a cozy bed or a special treat to help them wind down? We want to replicate the comforts of home, so your pet feels secure and relaxed in their new surroundings. By paying attention to these small but important details, we provide a seamless transition for your pet, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

A typical day

As a family, we adore spending quality time with your furry friend, creating memories that will warm your heart. Whether it's an energetic game of catch, a fun-filled romp around the yard, or simply snuggling up together as the day winds down, we ensure your dog feels loved and cherished. Our home becomes their home, where they can relax and enjoy the simple joys of family life. You can rest easy knowing your beloved companion is receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve, all in a warm and welcoming environment.

I needed a day for my class and other work assignments. I can rely on Monica to respond quickly and take care of my German Shepherd dog with thoughtfulness, care, and professionalism.

Finding someone who can handle a high-maintenance large breed is no small feat, but we couldn't be happier with the care provided. Our dog is a lot to manage—both in size and personality—yet Monica and family stepped up to the challenge with total confidence. It was such a relief to receive regular updates and see that he was not just being "watched," but truly well-cared for. If you have a larger dog that needs a firm but high-energy and compassionate sitter, we highly recommend Monica's services!
