WFH Pet Sitter with Time & Care

What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to each animal. I work from home, which allows me to be present, flexible, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I’ve been pet sitting for more than 10 years, mainly through word of mouth, and I’ve cared for pets in different homes and routines. I grew up surrounded by animals: cats, dogs, rabbits, and even turtles, which helped me learn how to read their behavior and understand their needs. I’m patient, calm, and very attentive, especially with shy or sensitive pets. I value clear communication, punctuality, and respect for both pets and their homes. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

Providing love, proper food, regular exercise. Creating a safe environment for them, training them, playing with them, spending quality time with them. I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your sweet dog! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I'm there! I always care for pets with respect for their routine and their space. I take time to understand their habits, personality, and needs. And always follow instructions closely regarding food, medicine, schedules. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel at ease and confident they're in good hands.

Monica did an amazing job watching my dog. She was very responsive, open to meeting us in advance and arrived early to do a key exchange and go over the care instructions in detail. She kept me informed on the well being of my dog and left my place identical as when I left it. I have great appreciation for the care she provided and I have every intention to use her again as needed. It is obvious she loves pets (my dog especially) and takes her responsibilities seriously.

We were overseas for a couple of weeks and Monica kept us updated constantly with photos. Both Arnold and Eli had only good things to say about her and we agree. We will def be using her again, as soon as we have another trip planned!

Monica is amazing! She is so patient with my little man (who is very grumpy and does not like strangers). He has warmed up to her pretty quickly, and I have been using her for a months now. She is always so sweet to my boy. My boy is needy and old, and I give him a lot of dressings with his food (fish oil, glucosamine tablet, liver toppings, and homemade food). Monica follows all the instructions I give her on how I like to care for my child. She is very attentive and always leave my house cleaner than she when she arrived.

We love Monica so much not just because she is great with my rescue dog Kebbles but because she is a great person, reliable, generous, and always willing to help. She has helped Kebbles to trust humans again. She is super fun and Kebbles loves her a lot.

I am pleased to provide a reference for Monica, who looked after my English Bulldog in London. Monica's care for my dog was exceptional. She was patient, careful, and formed a strong bond with my pet. Monica's dedication and responsibility in caring for animals are remarkable. I would not hesitate to have her look after my dog again.
