Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for your pet like my own!
Hi! I’m Monica — a lifelong animal lover and someone who has a dog of my own! With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m here to give your pet the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’ve worked with a range of pet personalities: the shy ones, the high-energy pups, and senior pets with medication needs. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight sitting, or just some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Monica was great! She did everything we asked and sent us pictures and videos. Would recommend!
Monica was so so great! She was so communicative and took Ralph on a nice long walk with pictures to show their time together! I appreciated her asking all the detailed questions about the type of walker he is and setting up his water bowl and things before dropping him back off! Will use her again for sure!
Monica was amazing with my beagle guy! Super reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!
Monica was amazing, the boys loved her!
Monica is an outstanding pet owner and pet caregiver. Any fur baby she is around she makes sure to prioritize their needs. I have personally seen her care for many animals and they all love being in her presence. She’s also incredibly intuitive when it comes to knowing what your dog/cat might need. She takes a lot of time out of her day to get them good exercise and with lots of play time and cuddles included. I would trust Monica with any of my fur babies and I am so thankful for people like her in this world to trust in and love on our beloved pets.
I have known Monica for quite some time now and her genuine love for animals is truly something to be admired. Monica is attentive to details such as feeding/medication schedules, exercise needs, and care instructions while simultaneously prioritizing pets well-being and happiness. In addition to her exceptional caregiving abilities, Monica is punctual, reliable, efficient, and innately thoughtful. I am confident that Monica will be a significant asset to the Rover community as I have witnessed her consistently go above and beyond to ensure the pets under her care feel safe and loved.

Schedule
I engage with pets through cuddles, play, walks, runs, potty breaks, etc to maintain consistency! I adapt to each pet’s individual schedule to ensure they feel safe and at home always! I’d love if sometimes I could bring my golden retriever mookie if possible!!!

Pets
A typical day
A typical day for me starts early with some fresh air and a walk — often with a pup or two in tow! I prioritize keeping pets on their usual routine, so my day often includes feeding times, play sessions, walks, and lots of cuddles. I like to break the day into a mix of exercise, enrichment, and rest time based on each pet’s personality and energy level. If I’m doing drop-ins or sitting, I make sure to give updates with photos so pet parents feel connected and reassured. I’m also big on keeping things clean and making sure pets feel secure, especially when their humans are away. Every day looks a little different depending on the pet’s needs, but the goal is always the same: to give them care, comfort, and a little extra joy.

- It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, and any quirks or triggers (like other dogs, loud noises, or separation anxiety). I’d also love to know about any medical needs, allergies, or behaviors to watch for especially if they’ve ever shown signs of aggression, reactivity, or nervousness around new people. Let me know how they do on walks, how they prefer to be approached, and what makes them feel most comfortable. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep them happy, safe, and stress free.
