Safety, trust & environment

In my home, my dogs and cats are part of my family. We all cuddle on the couch and spend lots of time outside in our yard while I garden. In your home, I would be consistent with your existing boundaries. If there are parts of your home or yard that you prefer your pets stay out of, I ensure that we continue to follow your desired house rules. I will always do my best to follow any directions provided by you to ensure your pets have the best care while you are away.

Information Monica M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or requires medications. Also, anything helpful like their favorite toys and activities so we can have the BEST time. Sometimes our pets can be shy and take a while to warm up-- thats ok too. I'm patient. :)

A typical day

I would spend time making sure your dog or cat had exercise and enrichment. We would spend time going on walks and actively playing fetch or whatever they enjoy most to help expend energy. We would also spend time practicing any tricks or thinking games to help with mental stimulation.

Monica is the best! She was incredibly communicative throughout the whole visit and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our cat, who normally hides from strangers, even came downstairs to hang out with her — that says it all! We’ll definitely be booking her again.

Monica was great with our pups and was very timely and communicative. Our pups were so comfortable with her immediately as if they’ve already met. We’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks, Monica!

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.
