Availability

I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily accommodate different routines and time needs, including last minute requests when possible. I’m always happy to work around your dog’s schedule and will do my best to be as reliable and accommodating as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I take great pride in caring for my own dog and making sure he’s always clean, comfortable, and well looked after. I keep a clean, cozy home, make sure potty breaks are consistent, and ensure my dog is always warm, safe, and happy indoors. If I ever care for a dog in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and right at home. I truly care for dogs as if they were my family.

Information Monica M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs, routines, or unique behaviors, I’m always happy to learn and adapt to give them the best care possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s habits and signals, so I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Your guidance helps me provide personalized attention and make every walk, playtime, or cuddle session enjoyable for them.

A typical day

With my own dog, I make sure he gets daily walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love. We play with his toys regularly, and I’ve personally trained him to do a few basic tricks using treats, including sitting on command. I enjoy keeping him active and engaged, and I always use patience and positive reinforcement when caring for my doggy.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a chihuahua from my childhood to my adulthood, so dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I also rescued my own dog 5 years ago and he gets the full VIP treatment like his morning walks, night walks, plenty of potty breaks, well timed meals, and lots of playtime and attention throughout the day. I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs, keeping them active, happy, and feeling loved. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s pets, including her dogs and two cats, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for while she’s away. Dogs are honestly my happy place and my daily serotonin, they’re family to me. I treat every pet like my own, and my goal is to make sure both pets and their humans feel happy, relaxed, and confident while they’re in my care.

My wife takes amazing care of our dog. She makes sure he’s always fed on time, gets plenty of exercise, and never misses a vet visit. She’s attentive to his needs, notices even the smallest changes in his behavior, and always puts his comfort and happiness first. You can tell how loved and well cared for he is just by the way he acts around her.
