Flexible, Positive & Open Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I am a lover of all dogs, big and small! As adoptive mother to a tiny Miniature Pinscher with a Napoleon complex, Maverick, and a Wonder-Mutt rescue, Delilah, I have experience and knowledge about the needs of different breeds and dogs, as well as experience in training. I am positive, energetic and flexible in scheduling. Currently open full time to care for your beloved pet! I have volunteered with Gateway Pet Guardians rescue in St. Louis, in addition to doing overnight care and rescue transport with Canine Crossing Rescue Transport (across the Midwest). All dogs in my care will receive my full attention, and I will insure that they are comfortable and all of their needs are met. I am strong and can handle larger dogs too!

We were nervous about leaving our girls for so long with a house sitter we had just met, but Monica made us feel so comfortable! She sent many photos, messaged us updates on the house and more! Our girls totally fell in love with her! Would a solutely use her again!

Monica was a LIFE SAVER! I called on Monica last minute, and she was able to accommodate Sampson for the week! I got updates throughout the day, and she helped me with his training. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to stay.

We don’t have enough good things to say about Monica! We’re new to the area and have never had anyone but family watch out pets and so trying to figure out what to do while we were out of town was hard. Monica came for a meet and greet and both of our dogs took right to her! She was sweet and polite and made me feel at ease about having someone new in our home while we were gone. Over the weekend that she was here she sent updates on the house and dogs and did a wonderful job taking care of everything! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust with our fur babies and our home and will definitely book with her again!

Monica is kind, professional, thorough and flexible. She was great with our dogs and especially Hugo, who is a bit wary of strangers. Monica was willing to come a couple times to get acquainted and that helped ease us all, dogs and humans. We are very pleased.

Information Monica K. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would like to know what their favorite activities are and if they have any special needs, so that I can make their time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

A typical day

Walks around Creve Couer Lake Park are my favorite! I like to find areas with lots of nature surrounding us. I am energetic and will throw balls, frisbees and the like for your pup! We can play hide and seek, toss, tug of war - whatever your pup enjoys most! For overnights, I have tons of unused toys in storage just ready to be played with! I also love cuddles on the couch with the pups.
