Pet care experience

Genuine care for genuine pets

I was raised in the country, taking care of cattle horses, ponies ducks, chickens, one pheasant, and of course, cats and dogs. It’s amazing how they all have their own individual personalities. Over the years, I have discovered that those personalities have helped me develop my personality. We just all want to be loved!

Monica and her son RJ took care of our dog for six days over the Thanksgiving holiday. I previously had people come to the house to feed and walk him when I went out of town but he seemed stressed when I did that so I thought I would try to board him this time. He seems much calmer and happier having spent time at Monica’s place. I also appreciated the updates and pictures.

Monica was my first experience using Rover, and I will definitely be using her again. I was worried about leaving my dog with someone I didn't know, but Monica was very trustworthy and nice. I appreciated her quick responses or reassurances, as well as the daily pictures or updates she provided. She and her son took great care of my dog for me while I was out of town.

Monica took amazing care of my dog while I was away! I received regular updates and photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

Monica took exceptional care of our 5 year old Shorkie while we were out of town for a several days. Was a pleasure to work with and very helpful with the whole process when we had questions (this was our first time using Rover). Sent pictures periodically showing our dog happy, relaxed and content. We highly recommend Monica and plan to request her services the next time we need someone to care for our dog.

Monica treated Max very well. He seemed really happy with her, so obviously we did too. Great communication.
