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.

She was amazing! Monica looked after my two kitties for about 5 days, twice a day. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was able to accommodate their needs. I appreciate her flexibility more than anything! Thank you Monica!

Monica was great! She did drop in visits to feed/hangout with my 2 cats and kept me updated everyday!

Monica is awesome, very loving to all 3 of my animals and we were able to relax even though one of our doggies was not well we knew she was taking very good care of him. I would definitely have her come care for them again.
