Availability

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.

Information Monica L. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if there’s any special training you are working on or if there’s any rules about snacks/treats, being on furniture, etc. If there’s any medical or quirky personality traits also please let me know.

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!

Pet care experience

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.

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!

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.
