Pet care experience

Since the age of 12, we've had Beagles in the family. As a young adult, I would help in walking the dogs and assist in their feeding time. For the last 12 years, I've been raising my own blue-nose Pitbull, from 8 weeks to now. I understand the full life-cycle of a canine, from puppy to senior. Training, late nights, early mornings, play time, walks in the rain, and inducing medicine. I've experienced it all! I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pup on a long walk or have an active playtime session. If your pup is more of a couch potato, we'll take care of business and then spend our time together relaxing.

Monica was wonderful. We received daily updates and pictures. She treated our dog like her own. We had a great experience. Hopefully we will see Monica again.

Monica is a great sitter! She and her dog Sasha made our dog feel right at home. She sent lots of great photos and updates throughout the stay. We know Lupita will look forward to staying with her again!

Gwen had a great experience at Monica’s! We loved getting lots of photos of Gwen with the pups. She played lots with another young dog staying over the same weekend and came home totally tired. A tired puppy is a happy puppy! We appreciated Monica’s responsiveness and flexibility for meet and greet, drop off, and pickup.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my care are welcome on the furniture and the outdoor patio for plentiful sunbathing. I encourage bringing their bed/crate if that’s what the dog is use to using at home for bedtime, otherwise dogs are welcome in the bed or anywhere they deem comfortable for sleeping. You dog will get at least two walks a day, play time, dog park visits (only if they enjoy the park!), and lots of love in between naps! For drop-in visits, I will leave your home in tidy condition. If there is anything dog-related that needs to be taken care of during the drop-in, I'm happy to assist with that! (e.g., feeding, water, give treats, etc.)

Information Monica M. would like to know about your pet

Please share any specific needs for your dog such as allergies, walk routines, home routines, and favorite treats. Also, if there are things that trigger your dog, please let me know!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs with physical activities such as long walks and ball throwing. Mental activities such as learning new tricks and providing treats is also a lot of fun! I love walking the path along north shore channel and surrounding neighborhood. If your dog is more of a couch potato-great! We will take care of business and head back to the couch for a movie night.

Availability

I have a flexible work schedule so I can easily accommodate boarding care and drop-in visits during the week and the weekends. For at home boarding, I’d love for our dogs to first meet in a neutral location before booking a boarding stay.
