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.

My dog Ellie 🐶 had the best time with Monica, as always. My mom picked Ellie up & said she didnt want to leave! Monica treats pets with so much love & sends updates

A+ Monica watched our dog while we were away and the whole process went very smooth and she took very good care of our fur baby. We will definitely use her again.

House Sitting • May 19, 2026

We were extremely pleased with the diligent care Monica provided for our 4-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd. She did an excellent job not only watching Jaco, but also taking great care of our home while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Monica again and highly recommend her to others.

Monica was again, able to provide 5-star sitter services for my Big Guy. Long walks, drop in visits, feedings, pictures and great communication. I would highly recommend her for pet care needs. Thank you again Monica, Ripley is so happy when you visit him!

Monica is an exceptional pet sitter! Provides prompt responses, real time pet updates with pictures and my big guy Ripley is happy and safe when she provides pet care services. I am able to have piece of mind that my dog is well cared for when Im not in town, and also able to have communication with her. I just finished my second booking with Monica and will continue to book with her. Highly recommended!

Monica was great with Ollie! Sending pics/videos and giving updates on his cough. He loved her from the moment they met! So glad to have found her and will definitely be using her again!

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!
