Pet care experience
Happy Feet and Plenty of Treats!
Hi! I’m originally from Hillsborough, New Jersey, and I have a genuine passion for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s beach trips, doggy treats, grooming, or endless games of fetch, I love making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and completely spoiled. With experience in giving medications and providing specialty care, I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you share—because I believe every dog deserves personalized attention. If your pup enjoys car rides, outdoor adventures, or just lots of cuddles, they’ll be right at home with me. Outside of pet care, I work at the courthouse. You can feel confident knowing your dog or cat is in responsible hands. Fun fact: I’m bilingual in English and Spanish—so whether you’re more comfortable speaking español or English, I’m happy to communicate in the language that works best for you. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly what they deserve!

Ratings and reviews
Monica is the absolute BEST! She spoiled and cared for our golden like he was her own 🥰 So many pictures throughout the day which I loved! I never had to worry once because I knew he was being so well taken care of. Her communication and flexibility is top notch!
I had a great experience with Monica! I needed someone to watch my two dogs on just a few days notice, and she was accommodating and easy to work with. Communication was great the whole time, and I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Monica was absolutely wonderful! Her and her partner are truly the best and I will definitely be rebooking with them. I’m so particular about who I leave Koa with and it was evident that he was in good hands with Monica. :)
This was the second time having Monica watch my two cats while we went on vacation and she always exceeds expectations. I got a ton of pictures of my babies daily, lots of communication and generally made my vacation better because I didn’t for a second have to worry that my cats were okay. She deserves every single 5 star review she has.
Monica did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of Melcocha during her drop-in visits! She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure Melcocha was happy and comfortable. The frequent photo updates were a wonderful touch, giving me peace of mind and letting me see just how well Melcocha was being cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional pet sitter!
Monica is super responsive, kind and responsible. This was my first time using a pet sitter for my 2 kittens and I’ll definitely do it again. She sent so many pictures of my kitties, even deep cleaned their litter box after I told her she didn’t have to. I can see why she’s so highly rated!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If your pup will be staying with me during your time away, they’ll enjoy a secure, pet-friendly environment For dogs more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to provide care there as well—with safe, supervised trips to the beach, local parks, or any familiar spots they love. No matter the setting, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I tailor every outing and routine to your pup’s needs and energy level, ensuring a stress-free experience while you’re away.
A typical day
Your dog and I can go on trail walks, runs on the beach, runs in the neighborhood. You name it! We can make homemade healthy pup treats and stay hydrated all day long.
