Information Monica K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I am happy to accommodate your pet and love working with special needs animals. I believe animals most often act out due to fear, stress, and anxiety. I hope I can be that calming and safe presence for your pet while you are away.

A typical day

I can take your dog on long walks, practice positive reinforcement training, play fetch. We can play stimulation games like ‘find it’ and I have many puzzle games and snuffle mats.

Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have over 3 years of volunteer and foster care experience working with humane societies, county shelters, and private rescues. I have experience caring for bottle baby kittens, nursing mother cats, hospice dogs with chronic illnesses, and reactive dogs and cats of all ages. I helped my friend run a doggy day care from her home. I have experience with special needs dogs and reactive dogs as well. I love animals and hope to eventually start my own rescue.

Monica took such great care of my cats while i was away. Took all the stress out of leaving them alone for the first time. She spent time cuddling and playing with them each day, and went above and beyond cleaning their dishes, emptying their litter robot/filling, brushing them etc. Her love and compassion for animals is evident!

Monica was amazing with our dog! She is so caring and kind. She was an excellent communicator and sent several photos. I will definitely contact Monica again the next time we need drop in visits. I highly recommend her to anyone who has a need for a pet sitter.

Monica was able to accommodate our short notice trip and come house sit our 2 huskies and 4 cats. She came over before our trip to meet our fur babies and get them acclimated. She kept in touch throughout our trip with updates. Thank you so much Monica! Our babies say thank you as well.
