Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and any special accommodations your pet may need. I take time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to care for your pets and your home with the same respect and attentiveness I would give my own.
Information Monica R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and/or accommodations. I ask that all pet parents provide proof of rabies vaccination (certificate or vet visit summary).
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs with playful energy outside and exploring the neighborhood on walks. I like to be respectful of cats’ boundaries as I know they can be shy at first. I love to provide pets, play with them using their favorite toys, and/or sweetly talk to them if they want their space.

Reliable Pet Drop-In Care
Pet care experience
Animals have been a big part of my life since I was 12, and I’ve spent the last 18 years caring for cats, parakeets, and small snakes. I have hands-on experience with pets who need extra support, including caring for a family cat with cerebellar hypoplasia. I’m comfortable administering medication, trimming nails, and sticking to routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. For the duration of undergrad, I volunteered at a bird sanctuary, where I cared for and comforted sick and lonely parrots—an experience that was truly life changing. While I’ve never owned a dog due to family member allergies, I’ve always loved them and have spent plenty of time around them. My neighbors and brother had pit bulls that I regularly played with and cared for, which gave me experience with energetic, affectionate dogs and helped build my confidence handling them. As a cat mom to Luna and MooMoo, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether I’m stopping by for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk, I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Reviews
Monica has grown up loving and caring for pets all her life. She is very protective and thoughtful when it comes to caring for her own black cat, Luna, and I know she will bring that same genuine care to whatever job she receives at Rover. She truly cares for animals as if they were one of her own children and that is the most important characteristic to have as a pet sitter. I simply cannot think of anyone more equipped to handle a job like this.
