Pet care experience

Pet Safety & CPR Certified ♡

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!

Safety, trust & environment

** I'm always sure to send consistent updates to my clients and practice the utmost safety standards. I believe in leaving the homes that I stay in 'better than I found them', so you will always come home to a clean and organized house. Although I’m not currently house-sitting, this standard still applies to all services.

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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
