Safety, trust & environment

I find it best to take care of dogs, in the environment they feel most comfortable in - which is there own home & surroundings. If you have current specifications or the dog needs specific care/meds or they are working on specific points of training - I can assist with any reasonable request, and mostly for what is best for the dog(s)! The best way is to communicate what you & the dog(s) need clearly.

Information Monica J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any 'special' needs or certain behaviours or quirks that your dog(s) may have, that I should be aware of. Especially details about medications.

A typical day

I once was told that spoiling a dog, was loving them with attention... so I believe that a typical day for a dog(s) - partly is just 'spoiling' them with as much attention they might desire, done with a walk, playing around, petting or just being there to ensure that they get their meal or special treat.

Pet care experience

My friends say I can read the mind of dogs - a bit of a dog 'whisperer' and I enjoy dogs of all breeds - having most experience with mixed breeds & high-energy dogs, age ranges from young to old dogs (I have cared for many dog friends & many of my own pups - one since she was 5 months old, until she recently passed away) - so ranging from training age to 'hospice care.' As a former dog owner myself - I know how important it is to have someone you can rely on, that understands it is more about peace of mind, great care, and good communication!

Monica was great with my dog Simon! He's a very nervous boy and Monica was very patient with him. She was also great about communicating with me and sent great pictures. Will definitely be using Monica in the future!
