Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are our passion and mission 💗
I grew up with cats and dogs since was a teenager. I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for my family and neighbors for the past decade. Personally, I raised 1 dog and 3 cats of my own and poured all of my love to my babies/best friends over the years. I love cuddling and playing with our fur friends and seeing their happy reactions always make my day brighter. I also have a secret power to train cats! My two little kitties that I used to raise can sit, high-five and lay down. Currently I’m living with my husband who is also a massive loving pet fan. One of my biggest “fear” or “issue” is that I always fall in love with different fur friends during my trips, and leaving them at the end of the travel makes me heartbroken. I will love your fur baby with all my heart!

Ratings and reviews
Monica & Alejandro were fantastic sitters. They were very attentive and provided many updates throughout Olivia’s stay. They were engaged with her and even took her to the park for hours! I would definitely recommend them and would absolutely book with them again in the future.
Monica and her family watched our dog Frankie while we were out of town for a week. Thanks to their frequent updates, we felt confident Frankie was being very well cared for, and her feeding/schedule instructions were precisely followed. We wouldn't hesitate to have Frankie stay with Monica again!
We couldn’t have asked for better cat sitters! They took wonderful care of our cats, Isla and Steven, followed the instructions for their routine, and sent daily updates with many photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the photos and updates that our cats felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. One of our cats seemed very happy with the cuddles and seemed like he didn’t want to leave, and our shy cat opened up faster than we thought and even allowed belly rubs. Monica and Al were very reliable, communicative, and paid attention to details we had asked for. We are incredibly grateful for the care and kindness they showed, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional cat sitters!
Tremendous host. We really appreciated all of the photos, videos and updates regarding our sweet pups. It was so comforting to know that they were in good hands. Thank you :)
I can’t rave enough about Monika and Alejandro! I within minutes of meeting back in good hands. They kept Ruby for three nights while I traveled out of town and they kept me updated every step of the way. I loved receiving photos of Ruby on their balcony and on walks throughout the day. Even when Ruby was having a little tummy issue, Monica and Alejandro were so kind to check in and let me know when the situation improved. We’re so happy to have found our sitters in Jersey City!
Monica looked after our dog for a longer stay, during the visit she was well cared for, with lots of walks, attention and frequent updates for us. My dog had a great time, and would certainly recommend and use again in future

Schedule
I’m currently working full-time at home so I can dedicate my love to your pet babies during any day of the week. I will have plenty of time playing with your fur babies and walking them during the day and evening.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced outdoor area in my apartment for the fur babies to get fresh air and a few dog parks downstairs, and a nice long river sidewalk steps away
A typical day
I love to socialize with your pets mentally and physically. For dog babies, I will play games, cuddle them with love and have walks around the neighborhood next to Hudson River or visit the dog parks nearby. Engaging with them as much as I can to get their energies out. For cat babies I love playing with them if they are in the mood, and give them lots of cuddles!
