Tell your dog I said hi! 🐶=🌎

Pet care experience

Pet first aid trained! I am prepared to provide critical care for your pet in case of an emergency. I work for an animal conservation non-profit, so caring for animals is in my blood. My own pup is the center of my world, and when your dog is in my care, he/she will be too. I have been trusted to watch my friends’ dogs for the last decade and have never had an incident to report. I walk an average of 5 miles a day with my dog so your dog is guaranteed some good exercise. I’ve lived in the area for over 4 years and am familiar with both the quiet and exciting places to walk and will plan accordingly with your pup. I always make sure you get pictures of your pup while he/she is in my care! You can decide whether you’d want my dog to join on walks with yours, and we'll make sure they have time to meet beforehand. For boarding stays, my house is quiet and all one level with just a couple small steps to get in the door. I live on a dead end street so there’s minimal traffic. Plenty of toys and treats are in stock! I do always request a meet & greet before stays at my house to ensure it will be a good fit. My current availability is mostly nights and weekends, but will do my best to accommodate requests outside of that. Thank you for considering me to care for your pup!

Highly recommend! Monica is very attentive and provides several updates during your dogs stay! She makes sure that your dog is comfortable and ensures sufficient exercise throughout the day! Finley had a blast and I enjoyed my vacation knowing that he was in great hands!

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are always leashed when they are with me. I try to be home as much as I can when I have dogs staying with me but there may be times when they will stay home with my dog while I’m out. In those cases I keep the pups separate so that there’s no chance of any negative interactions.

Information Monica P. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog react to meeting other dogs while leashed? Any allergies? What is their typical energy level/play style? Any history of separation anxiety?

A typical day

My home environment is best suited for dogs who are happy coexisting with other dogs but don’t need to play with other dogs - my pup isn’t always big on play but don’t worry, I am! Your dog is guaranteed to have leashed walks during their time with me. The canal is one of my go-to’s for walks but hikes at Ellisville and other trails are great too! For dogs who prefer quieter environments we’ll stick to the neighborhood. Inside, we have plenty of treats and toys in stock!

Availability

I currently work full time during the week so my availability is mostly limited to nights and weekends. A meet and greet is a required part of the process for boarding and day care bookings so that we can make sure it is a good fit with my pup.
