Retired teacher & pet lover

Pet care experience

I'm a retired teacher of 25 years who loves to take care of and help others! I'm looking to keep your pets happy and healthy while your'e away. Steve (my husband of 35 years) and I have two dogs ,a Rottweiler named Sasha and a Shih Tzu we call Mia. I've loved and cared for dogs since I was young along with a pet bird for a time. Being a stay at home wife allows me lots of flexibility to help you and your pet with whatever you may need! If you choose to bring your pet to our home, they will have their own private area for those times they need to chill along with access to almost 4 acres to explore. Playtime with our pups will be allowed after you meet them and are comfortable.

Monica was amazing! She took the time to get to know our dog with a meet and greet ahead of time. She understood her anxiety and made appropriate adjustments for her. I loved all the pics. We will definitely book with her again!

Monica and her husband are both so kind. They are both sweet and loving dog people and very, very patient.

Thank you Monica for watching our dogs over Christmas! You guys deserve a 5 star rating. You made sure they were loved and exercised. You have a lovely yard and space for the pups.

Amazing. Could not have been more perfect. This was our first use away from home. Monica is a dog person. Actually, I can't think of any animal that wouldn't like her. She is thoughtful, respectful and above all, caring. Thank you for a great experience.

A typical day

I love to hike and enjoy taking friendly, on leash dogs with me! Our dogs are too old to hike too far. Hikes around our county neighborhood will end up with us playing in the pond (with parental consent of course!). Lounging on the back patio enjoying the fire pit and view will bring a relaxing end to a fun entertain day.
