Pet care experience

Walks, snuggles and smiles!

I have loved dogs all my life. I was ten years old when my family got our first dog (a high energy, very intelligent border collie). Since then, I have had experience with various sizes, breeds and personalities, and delight in becoming their friend and guardian. I also ride horses, which has taught me a whole new level of care, trust and companionship. I grew up in and live in Manasquan, and look forward to meeting your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for your dog is a partnership between me, you and your pet. My career background is in market research, so I am a very good asking questions and observing behaviors. So I'll start by asking lots of questions, getting to know your pet, and putting safety, trust and communication at the forefront of our relationship.

Monica did several drop in visits for my 47lb yellow lab mix over the last few days. She went above and beyond and provided extra love to my dog. If you need a reliable, trustworthy, attention to detail pet sitter/walker, look no further!

Monica was a super communicator. Before, during, and after, she was in touch to ensure that our doggie was well cared for. She was punctual and gave us excellent updates. Most importantly, our dog ADORES Monica.

Monica was great with my 47lb high energy yellow lab mix. She was prompt, reliable and my dog loved her. I will definitely use her again!

So glad she was there to help in a bind. She was great with our big dog…who isn’t for everybody. And the little guy too. Would definitely recommend.

Monica is a true dog lover and a caring, responsible person. She has taken care of my dog Boone, a 7 year old Boston Terrier / French Bulldog mix on several occasions. Boone hears her voice and automatically gets excited because he knows Monzie's house is a place where he will get doted on and treated like the prince he thinks he is. Couldn't recommend Monica highly enough.

Monica is so loving and caring with our dog. He loves staying with her! He has a sensitive stomach and needs extra attention with his diet. I never have to worry when our guy is at Monica’s. She is FANTASTIC and will love your pup like it’s her own!!

Schedule

I currently work part time, and my hours are flexible. I have been taking care of various family and friend's dogs for several years, and wanted to cast a wider net with Rover.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Monica can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I'd want to know any health or behavior issues, anything that scares them, any foibles that may come as a surprise. What are the no-gos for the dog and owners as well as what will make your dog happy!
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.
