It's a dogs life!

Pet care experience

Every once and a while a dog enters your life and changes everything, and I wouldn't have it any other way! The love that I have for my dogs is indescribable, they certainly have become a huge part of my life and I find myself always working my schedule around my dogs. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet home while away but I can reassure you your pet will be spoiled with love, attention and playtime so you can enjoy a stress/worry free vacation. I send daily updates of photos and videos of your fur baby, we go for long walks over the weekend (1.5 Miles -2 Miles) and of course playtime in the backyard. I also accommodate any special requests, I have experience in administering shots and medicine. TONS of experience with puppies, crate and potty-training. I have personal experience from working with my dog trainer in behavior modification and leash training, if you have any questions just let me know!

My dog stayed with Monica in June of 2021. I became concerned right away when I went to drop off my dog. Monica seemed shocked by his size and asked what his breed was (all information that is available on his profile). Monica then asked if my dog gets along with other dogs, something I found odd considering she seemed to be hosting an awful lot of dogs in her backyard (this was not clearly stated before booking my dog's stay). Thankfully, my dog loves other dogs but it is a very concerning situation for anyone who may have a dog that is more selective. While I was gone, I received very little information about how his stay was going and had to wait 20 minutes for Monica to arrive at her house when I went to pick my dog up. My dog was returned with his left over food but none of the other items I had packed (long lasting chews, toys, etc.). In addition to all of this, my dog smelt awful. He plays in water a lot so I am used to some funk but this smell was the worst smell I have ever experienced. I had to give him two baths when he returned home, followed by 2 baths by his groomer to finally get rid of the smell. I booked through rover hoping for a comfortable alternative to boarding facilities but was left extremely disappointed.

Monica was awesome, we will definitely use her again and can't recommend her enough. She kept us fully updated with texts and photos during his stay. WOOF!
