Pet care experience

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++++++!
