Monica was absolutely amazing with Bruno! This was our first time leaving our puppy, so we were definitely a little nervous, but Monica made the whole experience so much easier. She gave us great suggestions to help Bruno feel comfortable and took such wonderful care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like family!

Monica was amazing taking a last minute booking for us. I got lot of photos and videos of my pups and they looked very happy and at ease with her. I would definitely rebook with her when we need pet care again!

Monica was great — she watched our frenchie on short notice, was very accommodating and easy to work with, and took great care of him. She sent lots of pics and videos, and did a great job keeping him entertained.

Monica was great! She kept us updated with lots of photos. Paddy felt right at home and enjoyed time with Dakota. I know he will be excited to visit again!

Safety, trust & environment

Pups have an opp to run around in the outdoor fenced in area in the complex across the street! I take the pups for lots of walks around the neighborhood. I can pick up and drop off. Ask and I can accommodate! Also trained in working with very elderly pups who have seizures, need medication and are higher needs.

Pets

A typical day

I love going on walks with my pups, finding ways to work on training them in different skills (especially puppies), ensuring they are well exercised (which in turn helps with behavior), and getting them to know their neighborhood and good dog manners!
