Pet care experience

Work from Home & Dances with Dogs

- I grew up caring for four dogs in our home, including raising a pittie pup since 6 months old. - I have care experience with puppies, senior and special needs dogs (deaf), cats, kittens, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. - I am skilled in training dogs, positive reinforcement, medication administration, and playtime. - I consider myself to be very affectionate with animals. I'm very observant and intuitive, and can pick up on your pets current needs. Do they want attention, or do they need space? I want your furry friend to feel loved, happy, and safe!

House Sitting • Jul 22, 2026

Monica took care of Levi like he was her own dog. We did not have to worry about him while on vacation. We received pictures and messages as updates during our week long trip which we greatly appreciated. She also did an excellent job taking care of the house and we will definitely book with her again! Highly recommend!

We love Monica! She left our house cleaner than we left it. She was attentive, responsive and thoughtful. Excited to have her back! Thanks Monica!

Monica was great watching my pup for the first time! Very communicative and reassuring. She helped my pup feel comfortable enough to eat, which is always a concern when I’m away. Would recommend!

Schedule

My job is completely remote, so I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my computer. I enjoy long walks in the morning and at sunset, and would love the company of your pet. With that being said, I'm able to accommodate a variety of pet needs and schedules. My housesitting rate includes general housekeeping such as trash, recycle, light cleaning, watering plants, and mail pickup. My doggy day care rate includes coverage for up to 8 hours for a normal day of care. Any additional time may incur a small fee.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will be free to roam in my home if you choose to board them. I have a memory foam dog bed, bowls, and lots of toys and treats for them as well. I communicate with you every single day during a housesit. If you prefer less contact (i.e. you are on vacation), I can adjust to your needs. I typically send photos outside of the app to your direct cell, so kindly disregard the Rover percentage. I treat your house if it were my own, and would never invite anyone over. I much prefer the quality time with your pet!

A typical day

During a housesit, I make sure that dogs are physically and mentally stimulated each day. We will go for many walks around the neighborhood, play toss/fetch because I love to throw the ball around. They will get lots of belly scratches. As a special bonus exercise, I love to put on music and dance around with dogs.
