Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my whole life. Experienced may different breeds of dogs. Owned 2 chow chow mixes for 15 years which were medium (50 lbs) dogs, an American billy, and currently own a chihuahua and Sphynx cat. Knowledgeable about different breeds and their needs. Love dogs and enjoy implementing them in my everyday life as much as I can. I am a college graduate from UCSC with a bachelors in Business Management and Economics. Very responsible, respectful and have a big passion for animals. I plan on trying to work for a dog rescue service sometime. I understand that a dog is a part of a family and need special love and affection and every owner just wants the best for their furbabies. I will often bring my partner with me in some bookings for my own safety reason. I will be sure to disclose this to every owner I book with!

I appreciated the detailed messages Monica sent about my cat’s mood and behavior. Monica made it easy to trust that she could watch my cat for such a long time. I will use her again!

Monica is such a caring, responsible, experienced, patient, and overall excellent dog sitter! She is accommodating when it comes to scheduling and always seems to know what to do in order to make any dog feel comfortable. Monica really loves dogs and it shows - I highly recommend her!

Monica has two dogs of her own that are so loved and cared for. One a pitbull and the other a chihuahua so she has experience with different sized dogs. I don’t think I’ve met someone who loves dogs as much as her. I would trust my dog with her and you should too!

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.
