Pet care experience

Live,laugh,love!

I've been caring for dogs and cats of friends for several years. I also worked in an animal hospital where I fed, walked, helped groom, and dispensed meds to animals. I love animals!!! I'm currently in school part time. I am available weekdays after 4 PM and weekends. This is a 12 week session so please reach out to me and I will be as flexible as possible. I have a fenced courtyard at my apt.I can take pets to a park across the street, and be attending to their needs. If it isn't in my home, I would care for them in the same way.

Monica was great with my two shih-poos! She was loving, extra attentive, and took care of several details, including insulin shots and careful walks with my older dog who is diabetic and blind. She sent videos and photos, and was lovely to deal with. I recommend!

She’s superb! Monica took care of my baby and she made sure to update me with photos and videos every single day. My Beauty Belle will be returning to her every time I’m out of the country or town and when I’m at work. Thanks Monica

She was excellent. My dog is a sweetheart but scared of loud noises and has never been alone and she kept him Happy! He loves girls and kept on kissing her. She even cooked his favorite good food for him! She is so kind and generous. She will take great care of your pup! Your pup will feel at home. My dog was crying for her when he left! I recommend her 100%. You will be at ease with her watching your dog and your pup will be well taken care of! I give her an A++++++!

House Sitting • Sep 09, 2021

Monica clearly loves pets and my pup took to her right away. She walked him and made sure he got his meds. Monica also sent pictures of Charlie, which I appreciated. But she also sent a picture of my bookcase with my books and family photos on display. The accompanying text sounded like it was meant for someone else. When I asked her about it, she said it was only meant to show me that we had some of the same books and was apologetic. Monica is a very nice and well-intentioned person. But for me, I felt some boundaries were crossed that I haven't experienced with other sitters.

I would like to know if the dog has any special needs or meds that I can be more attentive with. I'm a very patient and loving person that will put your pet needs first.
