Safety, trust & environment

If dogs (or cats) do go outside in the yard, I keep watch on them to be sure they are safe and not running off. For any walks, I do inquire any quirks/temperaments but stay cautious of other pets and people for their safety.

Information Monica M. would like to know about your pet

I always ask about health and concerns and often they need to be seen to go potty and food time. I want to balance everything out and to be sure your babies are well cared for. Meet and greet is a must to ensure approval of your pet :)

A typical day

We will walk around the home, or go to the dog park, or take an urban scenic route or trail. We can run, chase, fetch, and play.

Your Pet's Best Friend

Pet care experience

I love animals! I had dogs small and big dogs throughout my life. I will give your pet the attention they need, walks and playtime to get that energy out, if they are a runner, I'll run with them in the park, and ensuring they are well taken care of as if they are my own. I've been professionally walking and sitting dogs (and some cats) for awhile. I have taken care of family and friends dogs for years. I want to be friends with your pet(s) and I will keep you up to date how they are doing and what they are up to. You will enjoy pictures and videos as if you were there with them. I give them the love and attention like you give them to be part of your life.

Monica has been such an amazing sitter for puddy. She sent frequent updates, gave him lots it love and attention and just made me feel totally stress free knowing that she was there to take care of puddy. I can’t recommend her enough.

Monica is the best! The most caring, kind, and considerate sitter we’ve ever had. Fantastic communication and took great care of our two dogs and apartment (probably even left it in better shape than she found it). We will have Monica house sit again for us for sure.

Monica was fantastic! She provided excellent overnight house sitting and gave our Maine Coon cat, Puddy, the best care and attention. She was highly communicative and sent plenty of photos, which made us feel completely comfortable and reassured while we were away. I highly recommend Monica to any pet owner looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Monica was great and I highly recommend her! I booked her for a 3 night stay with my dog and two cats, which I was super anxious about. It was the first time I was leaving them in a while given that one of my cats went on subcutaneous fluids. I was ?very anxious about him potentially missing his night time dose so, despite the long commute, Monica came for the M&G and a second visit for extra practice with the injection. For the stay I was willing to work around her work schedule with a dog walker, but she was lovely enough to take most of the days off so that she could fully focus on the crew. During my time away I got plenty of updates and I came back to a clean apartment and content animals.
