I have years of experience. All my client's pets are my own pets. I treat and take care of them with the love and care most people would wish for.

Information Monica S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs. I don't have breed preferences as long as your dog doesn't exhibit aggressive behavior and/or does not bark excessively. Up to date vaccinations required.

A typical day

I provide plenty of play and free run in my beautiful, fully fenced backyard. Tons of petting. Fun with Ludvik - my own supper friendly pup. Walks in my neighborhood on leash. We'll play fetch and tug-of-war....fun. Lots and lots of love and attention.

Pet care experience

Hi! I am Monica, a lifelong super fan of dogs. I am excited to invite your fur baby to stay in my clean, smoke-free home while you're away on vacation, a business trip, or just for the day. Accommodations for your beloved pet include a private, securely fenced backyard within a lush wooded setting - ideal for sniffing, bird watching, squirrel chasing, and lots and lots of jumping and running! Your dog will have free access to my entire first floor. And yes, he or she is welcome to stay on my furniture. For a cozy night's sleep, I provide freshly laundered bedding with crate available in the event your dog is used to sleeping in a crate. I am self-employed and therefore home all day to provide your pet with the attention he or she deserves. I provide frequent potty breaks, allow dogs to run freely in my back yard and take them for walks on a leash. Your dog will also enjoy companionship of Ludvik, my gentle Border Collie mix pup who loves other friendly dogs, long walks, tug-of-war, and fetch. Ludvik is super friendly and loves to play with all dogs. My priority is that your pet, Ludvik and my neighbors feel safe and happy! Therefore I cannot accept dogs who bark excessively and/or exhibit aggressive behavior. Housebroken pets with proof of up-to-date vaccinations only please. This is for safety of everyone. My other services I offer: - Administration of certain meds ( topical and pills only ). I offer this service FREE of charge. - Drop off/Pick up to/from veterinarian or grooming appointments $20/round trip as an addition to Drop in visits. - For your peace of mind, every day, I text frequent updates and photos of your pet/pets. - Discounted two dog / cat households. - Discounted for 3-5 day stays. - Discounted rate for regular bookings. And finally........ I have so much love to give, and I would love to share it with your pup.❤️

Monica was amazing! On our initial visit, we knew she would be great for our two beagles as she was interactive and appeared to have an ability to connect with our dogs in a positive way. The housesitting experience was dynamic and interactive with numerous daily check-ins and pics of our happy dogs. The house appeared to be left in better shape than how we left it. She even left us a framed pic of our two dogs sitting obediently next to each other, when typically, they are going at each other. I highly recommend Monica and team, for any dog care you may need. Thanks - and we will be connecting with you soon for additional services.

Monica and Landon were so welcoming and loving 🥰 towards our dog. They opened their home and let our dog feel like it was hers. They kept her busy with all types of toys and took her on daily walks for exercise. Their communication was constant. They sent text messages, photos, and videos on a daily basis during our entire vacation, which gave us peace of mind. Their dog Ludvik was also very sweet to our dog. We couldn’t be happier with our dog sitting experience. We will definitely use them our dog if needed and highly recommended them.

Monica was wonderful. She spent time with and thoughtfully took great care of our pups. I would highly recommend her, and will book her again in the future.
