Highly recommend Monica for your pet care needs! She has been an asset to my household in caring for my cats of all ages, and has entertained my dog over the years. She is an animal-lover who is punctual, caring, and thorough in making sure all needs are met, from timely arrivals to administering medications as needed. I’ve also worked with her in the equestrian world taking care of a barn full of horses so she can handle animals of all sizes! I would 100% recommend Monica for your pet’s care.

Monica is such a kind, loving, considerate person, whether it be to humans or animals! She has pet sit for us for years and our dogs LOVE to see her arrive! She is is fun and loving with them, but also makes sure they listen to her. As the pet-mom, when I am communicating with her she is always prompt to reply to my texts/calls, follows through on all we ask of her, and is pleasant to speak and work with. She is a true animal lover who also is a mature, responsible adult with great communication skills. We would always turn to her as our first choice for a Dogsitter, no doubt about it!

Monica grew up in a home with dogs (Collie breed) and cats. She is more than capable of properly walking and minding a dog on a leash. She demonstrated a true love for our family pets. Monica also independently pet-sit for several of our family friends and neighbors' pets when they would be out of town. She was asked to return numerous times. Monica has years of experience in the equine world as well, both riding (English) and horse care plus horse-stall care. (Copper Bit Ranch, Sterling IL) The numerous barn/arena cats benefited from her attentions as well. Monica's experience and interest in animals makes her a good selection for pet care. Above all she is a responsible and reliable young lady. Pets deserve good caregivers and she has grown up with this moral understanding. I am her mother.

Monica Healy is the kind of dog sitter every pet parent hopes to find! She doesn’t just watch dogs, she truly connects with them. From the first meeting it’s clear she has a natural way with pups of all sizes and personalities. Monica is reliable, patient, and full of energy, making sure every walk, play session, and cuddle time is filled with fun and care. She sticks to routines, sends cheerful updates with adorable photos, and treats each dog like one of her own. Our dogs always come home happy, relaxed, and ready for more adventures with her. If you want someone who will love your fur babies as much as you do, Monica is the one! Highly recommend.
