Pet care experience

Gentle Care + Long, Happy Walks

I’ve loved taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have a small senior dog of my own, so I’m really comfortable with the extra care and patience older pups need: slow walks, flexible routines, and lots of gentle attention. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family over the years, and it’s something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. I treat every dog like they’re my own and try to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s getting their energy out on a walk or just being a calm, reliable presence, I’m here to give your pet the kind of care I’d want for mine.

Monica was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Sadie, while I was away in Europe for several weeks. Caring for an older dog requires extra patience and attention, and Monica exceeded my expectations. She provided daily updates and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing Sadie was in great hands. It was clear from every update that Sadie was receiving lots of love, care, and attention. Monica treated her like family and was attentive to her needs, ensuring she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter, especially for senior pets. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m so happy I’ve found Monica. Great service, communication! I would definitely book her again when I have to leave my baby. I just hope Monica will still be in business.

My two little ones love Monica the moment they saw her. When I pick them up next day, I could tell how content & comfortable they felt about their sitter. Very happy to find Monica to help out when I am not around.

Schedule

Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have my own dog who is on a consistent schedule with two walks a day along with regular enrichment and playtime, so I’m very used to planning my day around an animal’s needs. I do attend classes a couple of times a week for a few hours at a time, but outside of that my schedule is flexible. I make sure pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and timely feeding, and I plan ahead to ensure they’re never left alone longer than they’re comfortable with.
