Got milk?

I thought “got milk” would catch you and your fur baby’s attention. Maybe I’m not as funny as I thought??. Anyways, I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was young. I have a kitty who is now going on 25 years and a large puppy that is turning 11 soon. I recently moved to Cincinnati for work so I am no longer with my fur friends, and miss them everyday. I hope during my time here I am able to love and spend time with yours. I’ve had to administer medicine to various pets so that wouldn’t be a problem for me. I love all sizes and breeds. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their butt baby’s, I’d say playing with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Can’t wait to meet you.

Monica was such a great dogsitter! She was very communicative the entire time I was gone about how my dog was doing and the fun they had together. She also paid great attention to the instructions I left and sent lots of pictures and videos that showed Murph having a good time, which was super comforting to me while I was far away. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I would definitely hire her again to watch my dog!

This was the first time leaving my 4 month old puppy with someone and I was absolutely anxious and terrified. Monica agreed to pre-meet n greet where she bonded with Reggie instantly. During my trip she was so communicative and never made me feel bad about my constant checking in. She sent photos and videos multiple times and day and gave updates on his potty training. As a puppy, he did have an accident or two in her house, but she was completely understanding about it. Overall her positive attitude and sweet demeanor made my feel better than I thought I would, leaving my baby behind for the first time. 100% would use her again and recommend her to anyone with a puppy or dog needing special care and love. Thank you, Monica!

I swear she treated my dog better than I do! She sent photos everyday of their adventures or lack thereof since he is old, cuddly, and sleepy. Even worse, my dog is very clearly sad and misses her. Hire her immediately if you want your pet to love someone else more than you 🤣

Monica was fantastic! She loves dogs and Murphy was spoiled with attention, walks, and playtime. She responds very quickly and provided daily updates and videos. She took such great care of Murphy and I highly recommend!

I’m not sure where to start with, just how amazing Monica was with my dog. This was the first time I have used Rover and wasn’t sure what to expect. I had a work trip out of town and needed someone to watch my dog for a whole week. Upon first meeting Monica my worries and anxieties completely disappeared. My dog took to her right-away and it was clear just how much Monica loved not just my dog, but all dogs. Moncia sent me so many pics and updates while I was gone, which really allowed me to focus completely on work, as I knew he was having so much fun with her. I cannot recommend Monica enough and will without a doubt be scheduling time for her to watch him in the future. Thank you so much Monica!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that going into your pets home there are rules and procedures that must be done. I will respect your home and your everyday practices that you have with your pet and love them like they are my own and take all safety precautions necessary.

A typical day

I love to explore new neighborhoods and smells. I aim to stimulate your puppy’s mind mentally and physically by playing games and going for long walks. I prefer to walk trails if we can.

Let me know if your dog has any specials needs or behaviors I can account for. I typically am very good at understanding pets but it’s important to know what their favorite and preferences ahead of time.
