Pet care experience

Dog lover with shelter experience

Hey, I’m Monica! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and volunteered for years at a shelter, caring for pups of all sizes and temperaments. I’m active and happy to do long walks, but I also adapt to each dog’s routine so they feel comfortable at home.

Monica took care of our Tiny for 6 days. She is responsible, accomodating and very responsive. Would recommend!

I volunteered with Monica at a dog shelter and can confidently say she is one of the most dedicated and compassionate people I’ve worked with. Monica has experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and she approaches each one with patience, understanding, and genuine care. She pays close attention to their individual needs and personalities, ensuring every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. It’s clear that she doesn’t just “look after” dogs—she connects with them and provides thoughtful, personalized care. Beyond her natural affinity with animals, Monica is also highly trustworthy and professional. Anyone looking for dog sitting or dog walking services can feel confident that their pet will be in capable and caring hands. She consistently goes above and beyond to provide both excellent care for dogs and dependable, friendly service for their owners. I highly recommend Monica to anyone seeking loving, attentive, and reliable care for their pets.

Monica is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. She’s amazing with animals and always makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve seen how patient and attentive she is, and I would trust her completely with any pet. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog walker or sitter.

I highly recommend Monica! She’s super caring, reliable, and great with dogs. She’s amazing with my dog Luna, a Weimaraner, and they’re not always the easiest breed. Luna loves her, and it’s clear she’s patient, attentive, and really enjoys spending time with dogs. She’s responsible, easy to communicate with, and always makes sure dogs are well cared for and happy. I’d trust her with my dog anytime.

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, keep up with walks, playtime, and feeding schedules, and make sure they’re not left alone for long.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment in my home, sticking closely to each dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful of your space and follow all care instructions carefully

A typical day

A typical day includes a mix of outdoor adventures and indoor fun. I’m lucky to live near a big park and the water, so we’ll enjoy walks, fresh air, and exploring. At home, I provide mental stimulation with games, enrichment activities, and playtime tailored to your dog’s energy level.
