Availability

I'm currently working part-time flexible work so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings and many weekends. Last minute bookings or changes are usually just fine. There are times my calendar here may say full/unavailable but that may be flexible depending on your needs, so don't hesitate to still request. I will make myself available, if possible, especially for past/repeat clients.

Safety, trust & environment

One great thing is my teenage daughter loves animals just as much as I do and they love her. She often joins me for drop-in visits which means double the loves & extra attention.

Information Monica P. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful for me and your pet to know any training, command words or behavioral issues beforehand, for walks. For drop in or overnights I also like to know routines, & dietary instruction. For new clients I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients. I can administer medication and handle bandaging, depending on needs there is an additional fee. This can be discussed before confirming booking.

A typical day

For walks I like to stay in the neighborhood. Depending on the animal and location, per owner approval, I may transport to a nearby trail/park/path. Love playing fetch in enclosed yards or any other game your pet likes. Always your pet will receive attention to their needs given with love, patience, & respect. Affection joyfully given should they be inclined to being petted &/or held.

Pets

Monica P. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

I am an avid animal & nature lover.

Pet care experience

I always had dogs, cats, hamsters & many other pets as a child. Other than a year between my 19 year old fur baby passing & getting our new fur baby I have never been without a dog in my home. I have a very open & flexible schedule, & reliable transportation. I will treat your fur baby & home with the utmost respect. As much as I love pets of all ages I do have a fondness for senior animals and have experience caring for them. If you happen to have other pets, I am familiar with feeding & care of birds, reptiles, fish, small rodents, & spiders. If you live within 2 miles I reduce the per visit price by $5. I am open to further distances & over night/day in your home sitting on case by case basis. In home stays include one thirty minute walk (if requested). If walking your dog regularly I do offer yard poop scooping cleanup as an additional service, fee determined on case by case.

First experience using Rover and I’m so happy it was with Monica. She is very professional and took amazing care of my two dogs. She went above and beyond and even took time to send me lots of pictures. I could not be happier with my experience with her!

Monica was a life saver! She took great care of my kitties, sent me lots of photos, and made sure my orange cat had all his loves. Thank you!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
