Pet care experience

Friend of all animals!!

Update: I am living in SLC Utah for medical clinical rotations. I love all animals and would love to look after your pet (from dogs to cats to birds to snakes). They deserve to be loved and pampered. I have grown up with dogs always in my life, including the family dogs as well as friends dogs. Taz is my current puppy. He is my hiking adventure buddy and loves making new friends. When I am home in MA I take care of multiple neighbors' dogs including Bernese Mountain dogs, a Jack Russel Terrier, a poodle, and a Golden Doodle. I am an expert ball/stick thrower and tug-a-war-er. I love running, walking, and hiking. Having a doge tag along makes the walks and runs 100 times better. I also grew up with a cockatiel, chickens, and hamsters. I have experience looking after and feeding them as well as snakes and lizards. I will be forever grateful to be able to spend time with your pet!

Monica was loving and caring about my pups like her own. She took them for hikes/walks, played games and lots of cuddling! She was super communicative and sent daily picture/video updates. She is flexible with the schedule. She clearly loves animals. I will absolutely use her again!

Monica was absolutely fantastic! She asked good questions, took my pups for multiple walks and I feel confident she treated them just as well as she would treat her own. She also sent pictures and a video of them while we were gone. I have never picked my dogs up from anywhere after being gone and seen them so relaxed. Absolutely recommend her and I look forward to booking with her again in the future!

Monica is a very reliable, responsible, considerate pet sitter. She obviously loves pets, always takes great care of them and they get lots of exercise. She enjoys watching our pets and they like seeing her.

Monica was very pleasant to chat with and my miniature schnauzer and teacup Yorkie did great with her. She was super in keeping in contact with me and sent me photos of our dogs daily. They enjoyed their walks with her. I would recommend Monica to others that need great care for their dogs.

Monica took exceptional care of my girl while I was away! I was so thrilled that she was available last minute, and was so kind, caring, and shared status updates of Keaux Keaux very often. I felt at ease with her being in Monica's care. She's worth the booking! Thanks Monica ?
