Information Monica S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if there’s anything that they are scared off, anything that makes them anxious and nervous. What commands they know and what their prefer walking style is: lots of sniffing? Brisk and determined? I want them to have fun and break the monotony of the day

A typical day

I love dogs and allowing their personalities to shine through. Tell me your routines and I’ll make them feel safe when you can’t be near

Monica is friendly and easy to work with. My dog loved her and was safe and happy there. Would not hesitate to bring her back. Thank you!

Monica is amazing! She's so reliable and considerate. Our lab-pit mix ADORES her! She has helped me so many times when I had to leave town on short notice and I don't know what I would have done without her. I can only recommend! Suzanna

Monica is a loving pet owner and has walked my dog, Khloe, on many occasions. I feel safe letting my sweet pitbull out into the world in Monica's care. When they return, my dog is always so happy to have been on an adventure through the neighborhood. I am so grateful that there are smart, compassionate, reliable people like Monica to help me with my dog when I need it. I highly recommend Monica to care for any pet, as she is definitely somebody who understands the needs of others and is somebody I can trust to enter my home when I can't be there for my dog. Thank you, Monica!!
