Information Monica L. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting for your dog I would like to know his/her age, their size, health history (injuries/illnesses) and eating habits (ie; is the dog food aggressive?) I would love to also know what their breed is, although I have no problem sitting for any age, size or breed!

A typical day

I will be sure to follow any specific instructions that are left for me while watching your dogs. I am a very active individual and thoroughly enjoy taking my dog on long walks, trips to the park, enjoying a game of fetch, hiking, and cuddling on the couch (if they are allowed on the furniture) !

Pet care experience

I am a true dog lover through and through! I have owned many dogs in my life and currently have a rescue pittie named Mia. My main goal in providing dog walking/babysitting is to make you feel comfortable and trust that your baby/babies are receiving top tier care while you’re away. I promise to be equally as committed to your pups’ needs as I am to my own! I am very athletic and exercise daily whether it is in the gym or outdoors going on adventures with my pup. I have a long history filled with experience in handling and caring for other dogs and dog walking, and I understand proper human to dog interaction as well as reading a dog's behavior. I also understand how important it is for your home to stay neat and clean while you are away and making sure your furry family member gets all of the love and exercise they need!

Felt so comfortable leaving my newly adopted dog at home with whilst I attended a family birthday party and what a relief to know my doggo was in the best of hands

This was my first time using Monica, I had to take a chance as we did not have time for a meet and greet before I needed her. She came right on time and took great care of Bailey, I would definitely recommend Monica to anyone unless it’s when I need her ?

We used Monica for the first time this week to walk our dog and we will definitely be using her again. Monica was very responsive, friendly, showed up on time, and gave us updates. We had a great experience and definitely recommend her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
