Your fur baby will get lots of love

👩 ABOUT ME I have been a Rover dog sitter for over five years and bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine love for dogs! I have experienced with reactive or anxious dogs, senior dogs, dogs with special needs, can administer medication and belly rubs as necessary. I treat every pup with love while catering to their individual needs. 🏡 ABOUT MY HOME My home is dog-friendly, I have a large, fenced yard and all outdoor playtime is supervised. I love taking my Rover guests for a walk when the weather is suitable but am just as happy snuggling together inside on those cold, rainy PNW days. I enjoy taking Rover with me if I'm out and about when the weather and situations are appropriate (i.e. dog friendly cafes, farmer's markets and etc.) however, if you would prefer that the pup stays home if I need to be away for a short time, I will, of course, respect that preference. I have a very flexible schedule so if your pup is high energy, I will provide a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. If they’re older and just like a quiet place to lounge, I can provide that too. We follow the same rules and schedule as your dog has at home regarding permission to be on the furniture, sleeping arrangements, feeding time and etc. I require a meet-and-greet for all new guests to assure it is a good fit for everyone and I request that they come for a trial visit prior the first time staying to help minimize the stress of staying in a new place. The safety of your dog is my top priority. 🐶 ABOUT OUR ROVER GUESTS Dogs are required to be up-to-date on all vaccinations and flea/tick treatment. When you arrive for daycare or boarding, please provide feeding instructions, medications, supplements and any known allergies. Please make sure that your dog's Rover profile contains an emergency contact and veterinarian. 🐾ABOUT ADDITIONAL GUESTS I prefer to limit guests to dogs from one family at a time but will sometimes overlap stays with dogs who have stayed with us before who are friendly with other dogs, with the permission of both families. 📌 ABOUT FEES There is an additional fee for early drop off (before 7 AM) late pick up (after 7 PM) and daycare exceeding nine hours Thank you for checking out my profile and considering me to care for your fur baby!

Grayson loved his slumber party adventures with Monica over the weekend. Monica sent multiple updates every day with photos and videos of the two of them doing chores, cooking, and hanging out together. We will definitely use Monica again when we are out of town to watch our big fur baby, Grayson.

Stella had a great time with Monica and Scot again. She is treated like family and was able to go out on a couple outings with Monica. We received many pictures and videos. Stella is well cared for when she is there and we will continue to use them for future stays. Nora and Tom

Doggy Day Care • May 22, 2026

I’m pretty sure Grayson found his new bestie, Monica! Monica gave us updates and photos during Grayson’s daycare visit. She has a large yard to explore, even though we heard Grayson was her shadow most of the time 🙂. We rebooked Monica for a weekend stay in the near future and looking forward to book Monica in the future.

Monica is truly one of a kind and the only person we trust with our golden retriever. She eases my anxiety with constant updates, pictures and videos. I can go on vacation and actually relax knowing my dog is loved, taken care of and fully engaged with.

Our pup is always so loved. I refer to it as summer camp or going to grandma’s house because she gets so much attention. Monica takes her responsibility to care for our dog seriously and sends lots of cute updates. Can’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, a dog friendly home and have a crate for them to sleep in if it makes them feel more comfortable. Even though most dogs are micro-chipped, I have an Air Tag that I clip to their collar as an extra layer of protection and can provide you access so you can keep an eye on their whereabouts.

A typical day

I enjoy going out in the yard with the dog to walk around so they can explore and smell all the smells. When the weather cooperates I like to go for a walk at lunchtime and would glad to have a companion join me.
