I would be extremely safe with your pet and make sure that at all times they are supervised when with me. I have a fenced yard myself and may be able to have them with me during the days I work from home.
Home
Information Monica H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the "rules" for the dog (such as are they allowed on furniture) as I want to be sure to provide continuity. Also, an overview of the dogs habits is good to know so I am able to determine if the behavior I am witnessing during my time with the dog is normal or cause for concern. And of course, the normal information as to who the vet is, any medications, feeding schedule.
A typical day
I have recently relocated to West Salem and am excited to continue with my pet sitting. I drive and have my own car and would be able to take your loved dog on a few small trips if that is something you are interested in.

Pet care experience
I have had a love for dogs since I was a child. I was the kid who used to knock on doors in the neighborhood asking if I could play with their dogs as I couldn't have my own at the time. Since then I have become a life-long "dog-mom" with over 20 years of loving care given to my own dogs (and cats and horses and goats). I have worked in a veterinary hospital where I learned a lot about caring for the canines and during that time I also had my own business as a Puppy Kindergarten instructor. I have managed an animal shelter, working closely with rescue organizations and all of the dogs I have had were either strays or rescues. One of the strays that came into my life was Dekes and we got involved with "Dock Dogs" with his best jump being 24' 4". Unfortunately I also had to nurse all my dogs through their old age, cancer and various other ailments and find myself currently without a dog to spoil. I would love to take care of yours as I miss having those cold noses and fur balls in my life. Please know that my schedule with my job is such that I work both from home and in the office throughout the week. I am blessed to have a fairly flexible work schedule but would not be able to be in your home with your dog during work hours.
Reviews
Monica was wonderful! We just moved to Eugene and had only been in the home for 5 days before having to leave. Monica put our minds at ease and took wonderful care of our pups. They are big weirdo rescue dogs who can be quite needy. They were so relaxed from being with Monica. She really has a way with dogs. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
I was nervous to have someone new watch our dogs. Our oldest is shy/fearful and our youngest is very energetic. After our meet and greet, I knew Monica was the right person to watch them! She was so patient and understanding of their different needs. We loved our daily updates with pictures and are excited to have a sitter we can trust and rely on.
Monica was excellent. She took great care of our older border collie and kept in touch while we were gone. I will definitely use her again.
I have known Monica, as well as her love of dogs, for many years now. If I were going to trust ANYONE with my four legged babies, it would be Monica. Hands down! Monica "gets" dogs. She knows what they think. She knows what they feel. She knows what they need. Every.Single.Time! Vouching for Monica is easy. Spend a few minutes with her and your dog. You'll see what I'm talking about ❤️
