Hi there! I’ve had the joy of caring for my mom’s and friends’ dogs over the years, and I was also a proud dog mom myself for over a decade. My sweet girl passed away last September, and while I’m not quite ready to bring another pup into my life full-time, I truly miss the companionship and would love the chance to care for your dog while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs and pups who need special medical attention, including administering medication and monitoring health conditions like seizures. I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive care—especially when a dog has unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I’d be honored to give your pup the love, attention, and comfort they deserve in your absence.

House Sitting • Sep 07, 2026

This was the first time our 14 year old dog was with anyone other than family and Monica did a great job sending updates and pictures/videos reassuring me he was doing well while we were gone. She wasn’t fazed at all by his picky feeding needs and made us feel confidant he was in good hands. 10/10 would use again and recommend to others!

Schedule

I work from home and occasionally out in the field, but I'm never gone for more than a few hours—and I can adjust my schedule to be home the entire time if needed. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone at night.

Safety, trust & environment

While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a small courtyard and live in a residential neighborhood, which is excellent for walking. Inside my home, your dog is free to go wherever they like. No place is off limits (I am used to having a sliver of the bed).

A typical day

We can join my walking group for walks or just walk by ourselves. Laying in the sun at the park. Or lounging around the house. Whatever your pup’s needs, I’m here for it!
