Zookeeper that loves pets!

Pet care experience

Animals are my passion! I have been petsitting since I was a teen and now am a professional zookeeper caring for animals everyday. Your pet's safety, health and happiness are my top priority! I'm comfortable accommodating different ages, personalities and energy levels of all pets. I'm able to care for dogs, cats and exotics - such as birds, rodents and reptiles. I can also give medications for pets if needed. I'm available for drop in appointments. I love taking dogs on walks and having playtime, but I'm always happy to cuddle with snuggly dogs (and cats) as well. Being around animals is what makes me happiest, so I'm always excited to meet new pets and can't wait to meet yours!

Monica is one of the best petsitters I’ve found on Rover. Her photos have been great, and her descriptions of her interactions with my pets have been even better - her care for them really shines through, and I almost feel I’m able to be there in person. I actually recognize them in her descriptions of their behavior. She quickly earned my confidence and I won’t hesitate to rely on her again!

Monica was great! While gone for a weekend trip, Monica checked in with my cats. Fed them and gave them all the pets. I also enjoyed all the updates with cute pictures! I felt at ease leaving my cats in Monica’s care.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to care for pets as similarly to how a client already interacts with their pets. It keeps the pets more calm since it doesn't change their routine much. Whether that's walks or meals at a certain time or a favorite toy or activity they love to do, I'm happy to keep them happy!

Information Monica R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their general behavior, any quirks or habits they may have. If they have favorite treats, toys or places to go, like the park. I like to know if there are words they know or how well trained they might be. It's also good to know if there are things they shouldn't be doing that they might be trying to pull over on the pet sitter. I have no breed preferences.

A typical day

I'm more than happy to walk dogs at local parks, visit dog parks, or exercise with your dog in whatever way they like most! I'm also fine with throwing a ball around the backyard or playing tug-o-war with rope toys. Whatever your pet prefers I can happily accommodate.
