Animal Lover to Care For Your Baby
Hello, my name is Monica. I have had Great Danes all my life as well as a plethora of other types of animals. I have plenty of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and specific needs. I can follow your detailed instructions to the exact point. I know I wouldn't accept anything less than perfect for my own fur babies and plan to give you the exact level of care I would want for my own pets. I work part-time at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in the Safari Experiences department primarily with the Roar and Snore program, working weekends, though can be scheduled during the week as well. So please be advised I will be working around that schedule :) If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask!

Safety, trust & environment
Whether it’s keeping dogs safe when out walking, to ensuring their comfort when checking in or staying over with them, their needs are incredibly important to me and will always come first.
Ratings and reviews
Monica seemed great with Winnie and was respectful of the house. I did have to hire another person to let my dog out since she worked long shifts at her day job - so I’ll probably look for an alternative sitter with more flexibility but I would recommend Monica on the basis of responsibility and attitude!
Monica was wonderful with our two very active and challenging pups. Our dogs are not very easy and she took took such great care of them and sent me regular updates. I was worried how it would go with Monica getting to the house when we were already gone but she handled it like a champ and made friends quickly with Jet and Brie. I will definitely use Monica again!
My husband and I went on a trip for ten days for our anniversary. My mom watched our dogs for the first four days and then handed off to Monica for the last part of it. Monica was responsive and communicative, and worked well with my mom to hand off the key and the pup instructions. She sent photos and updates frequently and took good care of our dogs. she was very upfront about her work schedule which helped manage expectations. When we got home, the house was in great condition and the puppies seemed happy and healthy. Throughout the process, Monica was willing to do a couple of meet and greets ahead of time and did a great job with communication she was quick to respond. I will definitely be hiring her in the future.
As always Monica is great and my dog Mara loves her. She did an amazing job and will always rebook her!
Our maltipoo, Lily, is a slow to warm up to new people little girl, but Monica was willing to put in the time and effort beforehand to make friends with Lily and to understand her nuances. This made leaving her for two weeks possible. We returned home to a happy dog and a home that was perfectly maintained. Jonathan and I recommended Monica for your in-home sitting needs.
Fantastic as always!

Schedule
I strive to be as flexible as I can working around my own animals needs and my work schedule. With my incredibly supportive family helping out when needed. The more notice I have the more I can plan around the needs of your pets. I primarily work weekends but can be busier around the peak seasons (spring and summer primarily), however I am dedicated to work around that time frame. Their needs will always come first and I will do anything I can to accommodate.
