Availability

I have a flexible part-time job 5 minutes away from home. I work 2 hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. 8:00-10:00 am, and 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. I spend the rest of the time at home in my big yard with my dogs and the pet sittings. Love being outside gardening and letting pets relax and play. I have a big tree for shade and during hot days take them often outside instead or longer exposure.

Information Monica O. would like to know about your pet

I prefer friendly dogs, if your pet is aggressive or not dog friendly I will not be able to watch it since I have other dogs visiting.

A typical day

A lot of time outdoors in my big yard. My own dogs will play with your dog. I take dogs outside very often so they can stretch and relax, and play.

Pet care experience

I live in the northwest suburbs and would like to pet sit in the southwest area. I am an animal lover, for me pets are family members and I will take of your pets as well as I do mine. I provide my dog with quality life, walk him everyday morning and afternoon, I socialize him also. I will do for your pet as you instruct me to do, they get used to their routine and have the same special treatment even you are not at home.

Truly what a wonderful sitter. I booked last minute, and fortunately was able to have Monica watch my dog, Gracie. Gracie is old and nervous, so I was also a bit nervous giving her to a stranger with two dogs already. However, all of my worries passed when Monica would send me pictures and videos of my baby having such a good time. Monica made sure Gracie was fed, walked, cuddled, and loved. I picked up my dog happier than ever. Thank you so much!!

Took good care of my little dog. Gave me photo and video updates and if my dogie didn’t eat she let me know. I really appreciated it. Thank you

We were really happy with our decision to have Monica care for our two dogs during a weekend away. She was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating and it was obvious she loves animals and took very good care of them. Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!
