Safety, trust & environment

I have a very calm personality and will follow pet care instructions well. It’s important to me that both the pet and owner feel as comfortable as possible.

Information Monica H. would like to know about your pet

I’m respectful of special needs your pet may have. Age, breed, personality, and health all come into play! I love when I have long term repeat clients!

A typical day

My goal is to provide the best visits to reassure pet owners that their pets are in trusted care. Each pet is different when it comes to activities, so I try to accommodate their needs, whether it’s a playful game of fetch or just sitting together.

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs and cats for 20+ years, different sizes and breeds. I have also fostered nearly 100 puppies/dogs for a local rescue. Some foster pets required special medical attention. I have worked in the healthcare field for 39 years and also served on the Board of Directors of a local nonprofit veterinary clinic. I work Monday-Thursday and am available Friday-Sunday to drop in on your fur babies! I can also be available for an evening drop in Mon-Thurs. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. Crating is available if requested. My home is quiet and I also have 2 cats.

Monica took great care of our fur babies! This was the second time we used her as our sitter and I will definitely think of her in the future if we need someone to take care of our three cats.

I have booked Monica twice now and plan to continue asking her to take care of our cats as needed. She is professional, kind, respectful, and friendly. She gives thorough updates of each visit, including all the info and pictures you could need to be sure your pets are well-taken care of. Both of our cats come to see her when she enters the house, and that is quite unusual. Evidently they both trust and like Monica, and I can't really offer higher praise than that for a pet-sitter!

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.
