Safety, trust & environment

My priority is to ensure the pets feel safe, loved, and engaged, maintaining their routine in a way that minimizes their stress and maximizes their comfort. Here’s how I achieve this: From sending adorable updates with photos and messages, sticking to their usual routines, to ensuring your home is secure and everything’s tidy, I’ve got it all covered. I’m all about the fun, —whether that’s cuddle time during a movie or getting our steps on walks I want to make sure they are happy and comfortable with me. Plus, I’m totally on board for overnight stays, making sure your pet does not feel lonely. I provide care, trust to both client and pets, companionship, and a whole lot of fun, just like they’d get at home.

Information Monica N. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any dietary restrictions, training status, and preferred walking frequency for your dog. Also, I'd appreciate knowing their usual wake-up time and sleeping arrangements—I love having them sleep with me. With classes on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7 to 10 pm, I want to make sure they can be alone during these times. Lastly, I would rather if the dog is potty trained and if they get a long with other dogs. I want to provide the same level of care and comfort they're accustomed to.

A typical day

I enjoy mornings together, especially walks in places like the Back Bay or along the beach boardwalk. Exploring new neighborhoods is always a joy. Im European so I truly enjoy walking for an hour every day. Sometimes joined by a friend on our walks. Movie nights and study long sessions are cozy activities I like to have in the evenings. Playing together in the afternoon is a highlight.

Pet care experience

Residing in Newport Beach with my 90-year-old grandmother, whom I assist with daily tasks and appointments, has deepened my understanding of care and companionship, traits I bring to every interaction with your pets. My commitment to excellence, combined great communication skills to my clients and ten years of personal experiences, makes me an ideal choice for anyone seeking a dedicated, caring, and skilled caregiver for their dog.

Monica is the best sitter we’ve had. I rebook her constantly and wouldn’t want anyone else watching my fur baby. She’s communicative and gives updates and makes sure you know your pet is in good care.

I could not recommend Monica enough. I don’t even want to review because I’d love to keep her for myself! She is my go to for pet sitting. She is reliable, respectful of our home, very communicative and responsive and takes such good care of our cat Theodore. She goes above and beyond, brings in packages at the door, vacuums and cleans up while we are gone. If you are looking for someone trust worthy who truly cares for you fur babies, she’s your girl!
