I've never met a dog I don't like!

Pet care experience

I was the unofficial "neighborhood dog sitter" growing up and watched a lot of dogs for friends. I grew up with two labradors, a yellow and a chocolate and my family recently adopted a mini Aussie Shepard. Spent time using Wag in NYC for a year mostly walking dogs and some boarding here and there. I'm a big runner, so if you have a dog who loves being active, I'm more than happy to take them on runs with me. I'm great at controlling those dogs who are a little more unruly, as my childhood pup was quite wild! I hope to become a dog owner in the future when I'm settled down in a city and won't be moving as often. I promise to love each and every dog with my whole heart!

Monica was an amazing sitter for our high-energy Australian Shepard/Border Collie pup! I sent her a list of Koda’s commands to help her communicate with him and it seemed like she had a blast playing tricks with him and going for walks along Lady Bird. She sent us lots of photo and video updates which made me happy to see how much fun he was having since this was our first time using a River sitter. Would recommend her for anyone interested :)

Monica is my go to Rover sitter. She’s dependable and responsible. My dog always comes back from staying with her relaxed and happy!

Monica was a great sitter for our dog. She was prompt with communication, sent updates and gave Tucker lots of TLC. He came back happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Will definitely use Monica the future!

Information Monica M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog’s routine is and if he or she needs any special care. I’ve worked with all types of breeds but like to make sure I’m making them feel as comfortable and close to normal as possible while you’re away!

A typical day

If they do ok off leash, I have a large grassy area by my apartment where past dogs have loved to play fetch with! I live right by a trail on town lake so love to take them out for walks and explore out there. There’s also a nearby fenced dog park we can go to. I can also be a homebody so if your pet likes to chill, that’s fine by me!

I do go into the office, so your dog needs to me okay being alone for a few hours at a time. I typically have time for a lunch break though so I can let them out and give them some love mid-day!
