Pet care experience
Your Pet's Home Away From Home
Animals have always been at the center of my life. I've got 5+ years of hands on experience and a background that includes working at Roam N' Board kennel and pet hotel, volunteering at Apricot Vet so I'm comfortable with way more than just the basics. At home I have two cats of my own, including a senior special needs kitty, so I genuinely understand what it means to love your pets like family and take their individual care seriously. I'm especially comfortable with senior pets, medical needs, and animals that require extra attention and patience. I work remotely, which means I'm home consistently and your pet is never just sitting alone waiting for a check in. I'm also pretty active and outdoorsy, so if your pup has energy to burn, we'll put it to good use. I care for both dogs and cats and I treat every animal like my own. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety: Your pet's safety is always my top priority. For dogs, leashes are non-negotiable on walks. No matter how friendly your pup is, I avoid any potential conflict with other animals unless you've specifically instructed otherwise. I also have experience with special needs and senior pets, so I'm comfortable following specific care routines, administering medications, and keeping a close eye on health related behaviors. I also run my own small pet care business, Snootle, so this is something I take seriously year round and not just a weekend gig.
Ratings and reviews
Monica took exceptional care of our dog Iggy when she watched him at our home for 10 days. She kept up up to date with lots of pictures, videos, and updates which really put us at ease while we were away. He was smiling brightly in all the pictures and we could tell he was having a blast. He normally gets sad when we were away, but she took such great care of him that we could see from the pictures and videos how much fun he was having and how loving Monica’s care of him was. He doesn’t usually warm up easily to new people, but Monica quickly became one of his favorites. She took him on many adventures, lots of fun walks, went above and beyond making sure all his needs were met and more. Look no further if you need a trusted, dependable, caring, and all around amazing sitter.

Monica stayed with our 5.5 year old boxer, Fig, for 10 days while we went on a vacation with family. This is the longest time we’ve both been away from him, and we were nervous! Obviously, we shouldn’t have been. We came home to a super happy, healthy dog, and a very nicely kept house. Our biggest worry was that Fig wouldn’t eat while we were away (he gets excited about new people, and has some digestive issues when he puts off eating) but Monica managed to get him to eat well the whole trip! Monica sent a bunch of great photos and videos every day in the evening so that we would see how he was doing, and he was clearly having a ball. She took him on a bunch of very successful walks, even though Fig has some leash reactivity about other dogs, and she took him on a bunch of adventures to go hiking along trails and to the beach! It was really nice to see that Fig was having a fun vacation with Monica while we were on our vacation. Monica is really great about communication, and was super accommodating of requests that we had. She accommodated a friend of ours coming over to the house to use one of the offices as a remote work space during the week, as well as a request from our neighbor pertaining to some hatchling birds she was concerned about. Definitely above and beyond what I would consider required of a dog sitter. Fig clearly had a great time with Monica, and we came home to a healthy dog and a tidy house and we’re very happy with our experience of her as a dog/house sitter, and will be happy to book with her again!

Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.

Always outstanding!


Monica was amazing from the beginning to the end! Super flexible and open to meeting when the schedule works best for both parties. She sent multiple photos and videos daily which was perfect when we were missing our bud. She even taught our old dog a new trick! Highly recommend her for anyone and would certainly reach out again to have her take care of our dog for us! Thank you!

Monica did a great join watching my two dogs, walking them, taking care of my house, and providing daily updates.

Schedule
Schedule: I work remotely Monday-Friday, which means I'm home consistently and your pet gets real company throughout the day, not just a quick check-in. Caring for animals is my genuine passion, and I love being able to give pets the time and attention their people can't always spare during the day.
