Monica was a delight to work with. She constantly kept us informed about how Luna was doing and sent us daily photos of how Luna was fitting in to the daily routine there. We were informed of the frequent walks and to her overall wellness and comfort. Thank you Monica for making our trip so worry free.

Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!

I have two kitty cats, Bert and Ro, and monica loves animals, every time I need to go away even for a weekend she is there to watch my babies, i know that she will give them all the love and cuddles they deserve and she always sends me photos. Bert is high anxiety and tends to hide around strangers but monica is very gentle and caring towards all types of pets and their needs.

Schedule

I work from home with a very flexible schedule that i build myself, my animal buddies always come first! I like to spend my mornings outside (enjoying some coffee) while my pets enjoy the fresh air and sunlight (unless its raining!)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with a senior fur baby to keep your baby company. My chill old guy likes to sleep a lot and stays in his own area, he gets along with every animal he meets, but i can easily crate your dog if you prefer. Pets in my home stay inside unless we are doing walks/potty breaks and playtime, or if we are outside just chilling (they will never be alone outside/ i will always be there!)

Pets

A typical day

Morning time is outside time, if the weather allows, we will play some games, get good scritches and enjoy our morning coffee / doggie breakfast (i can easily manage different diets, raw/kibble/medication). Around midday we do some energy management, high energy? Lets run that off while we do some yard management (poopie scoopies), and in the evening we will wind down after dinner with some petflix and chill.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Are they prone to anxiety? I can limit sudden movements and loud noises, do they have any specific allergies? I can keep extra special watch. Do they like to chill and be left alone, do they like the tv on to watch shows/movies/music? My pets are like my children, Stryker is an old German Shepard mix and he likes to chill. I used to have a cat that liked it when i played the spiderman video game just to watch the pigeons on the rooftops ❤️
