Pet care experience

Your Pet's new best friend

I’ve done some pet sitting for friends and family, and I absolutely adore it. My tiny Min Pin was my little shadow for 18.5 wonderful years, and my daughter’s two silly Aussies have proudly made me their ‘grand‑paw‑rent.’ I’m a naturally caring person — I look after my 95‑year‑old dad who lives with us, and I cared for my mother‑in‑law until her passing. Caring is just part of my heart. I’d be over the moon to spoil a new little pooch, even if it’s just for a short stay.”

Monica is a truly lovely person—responsible, caring, and knowledgeable when it comes to animals. I’ve watched her care for dogs for over two decades, and the patience, kindness, and genuine love she shows them impresses me. I trust her with my own dogs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate. Highly recommended!

As an animal lover and dog mom who also loves to travel, it's incredibly important to me to have someone I can trust to care for my two beloved senior Australian Shepherds whenever I'm away. Monica has been that person for nearly 10 years, caring for my dogs with genuine love, patience, and responsibility every time. I've also seen Monica care for many different kinds of pets over the years, and her warmth and compassion always shine through. She treats every animal as if it were her own, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in her care. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets get lots of attention, affection, and a calm, safe environment. I work from home, so I’m around all day to keep them company, follow their routine, and make sure they feel secure. I give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, fresh water, regular meals, and outdoor breaks as needed. I’m very gentle and patient, and I treat every pet like part of the family.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active, happy, and engaged. Some of my favourite activities include trail hiking for fresh‑air adventures, dog‑friendly beach outings for pups who enjoy water, and tug of war for fun, interactive play. I always tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and comfort so they feel safe, loved, and excited for their day.

To give your dog the best care, I always ask about their routine, energy level, temperament, medical needs, and any likes or dislikes. This helps me tailor their care so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy.
