** I'm always sure to send consistent updates to my clients and practice the utmost safety standards.

Information Monica G. would like to know about your pet

For dogs: • Are they spayed/neutered and up to date on their shots? • Do they have a medical condition or require any medication? • Do they have any degree of dog aggression or leash aggression? • What other behavioural quirks should I know about? For cats: • Are they spayed/neutered and up to date on their shots? • Do they have a medical condition or require any medication? • Are they indoor or outdoor or both? • What behavioural quirks should I know about? Other pets: • Do they have a medical condition or require any medication? • Are they aggressive at all/have problems being held? • What behavioural quirks should I know about? *DISCLAIMER: As a sitter, I ask that you PLEASE remember to practice responsible pet ownership! Dogs need to be bathed regularly, have their nails trimmed, their teeth cleaned and anal glands expressed! Most importantly: ALWAYS SPAY & NEUTER! If I see that your dog is being neglected in any of these ways I cannot guarantee that I will watch them again.

A typical day

When your dog is in my care you can expect them to have lots of playtime in the house, multiple walks a day, routine potty breaks and lots of cuddles! I can even take them to a dog park or on a hike at your request. If I plan to leave them home alone for any reason or want to take them anywhere (i.e. on a hike) I will always ask ahead of time ♡

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Monica and I am a 35-year-old pet care professional. I have been surrounded by animals all my life (dogs, cats, birds, small animals and reptiles) and have - AT THE LEAST - some basic knowledge on how to care for these critters. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years as a 'Pet Care Specialist' wherein I routinely fed and cared for animals on the sales floor, I advised pet parents on how to properly prepare for their new pet and I also cared for sick/injured animals in isolation (I cleaned their habitats, logged their health progress and administered oral/topical medications). In addition, I'm currently volunteering at my local animal shelter as a dog walker. At this time I am only accepting bookings for dog walking and drop-in visits, and I would be happy to help out for a one-time thing or for regularly scheduled visits! *PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I AM NOT RESTRICTED TO ONLY DOGS - I CAN CARE FOR PETS OF ANY KIND!* If you need your cat, small animal, reptile, bird, etc. taken care of while you're away - I am the gal for you! ♡ My aim in working through Rover is to extend my passion for animals outwards to others and to be there for YOU and your pet when you need it most. My goal is to provide safe & quality care and to establish a reputation as a trusted sitter in the Rover community ♡ Thank you for your interest and I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
