Work From Home With a Fenced Yard❣️

Dogs have been part of my daily life for over 10 years, from raising my own to caring for friends’ and family’s pups whenever they travel. I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your dog with just anyone, so I treat every dog in my care the way I’d want mine treated: with patience, attention, and a routine that doesn’t change just because you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog isn’t alone for long stretches or squeezed into a rushed visit. I’m here, present, and available throughout the day. Daily walks are part of the routine, and I’ll tailor the distance and pace to what’s best for your dog, whether that’s a gentle stroll or a longer outing. I have experience with all sizes and energy levels, from Yorkies to Labs and Huskies, and I’m comfortable administering scheduled medication, treats, and meals on your routine. My home has a fenced yard for safe off-leash time, no other pets or kids to navigate, and dogs are welcome on the furniture because let’s be honest, that’s where they want to be anyway! I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while your pup is with me, so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

Monica was absolutely amazing watching Kirby! I could tell right away that he was in great hands — she sent tons of pics and check-ins throughout the stay, and Kirby looked so comfortable and happy in every single one. As someone who’s a little obsessed with my dog, that peace of mind means everything to me. Her house is clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. She and her partner are just an amazing couple, and I’d trust them with Kirby again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to snuggle my doooood!

Monica is one of the kindest and most compassionate people I know (and she’s also one of the funniest!) She’s incredibly active and prioritizes a healthy lifestyle, which makes her the perfect person to care for your dog. When your pup is with Monica, you can rest assured they’ll get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime!

Monica is the absolute best! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. She sent me so many fun and adorable photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely book with Monica again! ❤️

I've known Monica for years as one of my very best friends, and she's the most loving, attentive dog caregiver I know. She rescued her own dog and gave him an incredible life, including daily walks, tons of affection, and a genuinely happy and safe home. She's patient, responsible, and treats every dog like family. Any pet parent would feel completely at ease leaving their dog in her hands.
