Loving cat sitter for your fur baby
Pet care experience
I have been a loving cat mama for more than 15 years, caring for a variety of breeds and feline temperaments. Because I have only ever had cats, I am especially knowledgeable of typical cat behaviors and can quickly spot those behaviors that may signal distress in a cat and thus can react quickly to provide appropriate care when necessary. Currently, I am a cat parent to three beautiful, long-haired fur babies, all of them being rescue cats. I am used to kitties weaving around my legs, cuddling up on lap (and sometimes on my head!), and the occasional love bite that says, “Pay attention to me!”. Because I have only ever had rescues, I am especially aware of the importance of helping pets feel safe and secure, especially during situations that may cause stress, such as a temporary separation from family or the introduction of a new human in the home. In addition to cats, I have experience taking care of guinea pigs. I have one little piggy named Rosie who is 3 years old. Also, as an owner of a gorgeous ball python named Hopper, I do not shy away from caring for reptile friends.

Monica is an exceptional pet sitter and went above and beyond to make sure Ozy was cared for while I went away for the holidays. I would recommend her to anyone!

Information Monica R. would like to know about your pet
What I always like to know before sitting for a pet is his or her overall temperament. Is she friendly and social, or quiet and reserved? Has she experienced any trauma that may make her especially skittish or fearful? Is this her first time being separated from her family? Are there certain noises, smells and or gestures that might cause fear or distress? Does your pet have special health and/or dietary needs? All of this information can be tremendously helpful in guiding me to provide the best possible care for your pet.
A typical day
Some cats can be quiet and a bit skittish when a stranger comes into their territory. Therefore, I will offer quiet petting, a calm, caring voice and lots of play with favorite toys once I have earned a cat’s trust.
