Pet care experience

Your Pet's Best Friend

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 cats for over 8 years. 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.

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.

Monica was very caring & loving with our two dogs. She left the house spotless & was very respectful. We will definitely ask for Monica again!

Monica was fabulous with our pups. She kept us constantly apprised with pictures and texts. And even stayed late when our plane back home was delayed. We highly recommend her for her dog sitting skills. And hope she will be free in the future to assist us again.

Monica was absolutely fantastic! She was a last-minute booking after my previously booked house sitter had to cancel, and she made the process so easy. When she came for the meet & greet it was immediately clear how knowledgeable she is about cats and how good she is with them. My kitty loved her! She sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day, so I always knew what was going on, which allowed me to fully relax on my trip. She also was incredibly flexible and understanding when I accidentally booked for the wrong dates and had to shift everything by a day 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wholeheartedly recommend Monica if you need a house sitter for your pet, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!

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 :)
