Caring, Patient, and Reliable

Pet care experience

Dog owners will love the care I provide for their pets! Not only will I care for them as if they were my own, but I will make sure that their pet is well-fed, comfortable, and happy while they are under my care. Although I am a student in college, I am usually always home which allows me to spend more time with any pups or cats under my care. I enjoy going on walks and taking trips to the dog park with pups under my care if the weather is nice, and owners are ok with it!

I've used Monica as a boarder for my dog since 2018 and since then, I've booked her more than a dozen times. A few times, she's watched my dog for up to two weeks. She's great and my dog loves her! Highly recommend!

As always, Monica was excellent. She took the cutest holiday photos of Lucky and sent him home with a wonderful gift. She always goes above and beyond!

Lucky stayed with Monica and her family a second weekend in a row and it was fabulous! She helped him celebrate his 5th birthday and even bought him some new toys and a cake. I’m really grateful for the love and excellent service she offers to my sweet baby boy. 10/10!!!

Monica was an amazing sitter! She sent updates with pictures twice a day while I was away and made sure my little Lucky got lots of care and attention. She was very accommodating to my pick up and drop-off times, and super friendly. She even included a very sweet “thank you” card with printed pictures in his bag when I picked him up. Will definitely be booking again!

A typical day

I love engaging with pets If the weather is nice and owners allow I will gladly go for walks with them to the doggy park. However, if it is rainy or snowing and you prefer for me to keep your pet indoors, and provide indoor activities only that is something I can definitely do. I enjoy taking time to engage with pets as it allows me to help them feel safe and comfortable while under my care. After having many pets growing up I've been able to experience how furry friends each have unique personalities of their own, I enjoy taking time to get to know any pets under my care as well. This allows pets to not feel as much anxiety being away from their homes and owners. *I have had experience with Puppies, Senior dogs, Dogs with separation anxiety, Dogs who have high energy levels, and also kittens and adult cats as well.
