Pet care experience

Animal Lover from the Vet Field

Hi there, I’m Monica, and I bring to your home the experience of over 7 years in the veterinary field! I share my home with two sweet cats who are my world, but I really miss having that daily connection with pets of all kinds, which is why I’m so excited to spend time with yours. I have a big heart for animals, and I’m very tuned in to their needs. I respect personal space and body language, and I definitely have “mom ears” — always listening, always noticing, always making sure your pet is safe and comfortable. Whether your furry friend is shy, playful, or a little bit of both, I’ll meet them right where they are with patience and love. Right now, I work per diem in healthcare, and I’m in school full time, which means I spend a lot of time studying at home. So with furry buddy by my side — keeping me company, getting belly rubs and nose boops while I have my nose in a book is the life! Since I’m per diem, I also have flexibility (especially with requests made well in advance), so I can be there when you need someone you can trust. Your pets will be treated like family with me, and I’d love the chance to give them all the care, cuddles, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Sincerely, Monica

Safety, trust & environment

I love gauging each personality, seeing how their playing-type is, reading their behavior (even subtle signs) and ease into what their nature and comfort zone is.

Monica was great and super communicative - we were so excited to receive all the pictures of our babies every day, we missed them so much! She was also able to make our very skittish cats feel comfortable enough to come out for snuggles, that is no easy feat 😂 we are so grateful she took such good care of all of them and we didn’t have to worry.

Monica does such an amazing job with our dog and cat. It's obvious how much she cares for them and our home and we are very lucky to have her stay when we go out of town.

Monica was great watching my large German Shepherd. She was reliable, communicated regular updates, and left the house clean & tidy. Would definitely use her again.

Monica was amazing in every way possible. I could tell my animals were very happy when I got home. She was extremely communicative the entire time. We would hire her every time if we could.

Understanding their body language and gaining their trust without forcing it on them. Let them choose to get to know me. Every pet has a different personality, and some even have backgrounds we don't even know about! One needs to make sure a pet feels safe and be aware of their threshold, so they do not become overwhelmed.
