Fit and active dog lover!

I’ve loved and cared for countless of dogs including my own and those of my extended family and friends. I’m an avid walker and thoroughly enjoy long, brisk daily walks, preferably with a canine companion! At this time I cannot commit to having my own pet, so Rover fits my lifestyle perfectly. I also love spending time and spoiling my Grand Dog Cookie!❤️🍪😀

Our Boxer was very well cared for and Monica provided regular updates, pics and videos. She is clearly an avid dog lover and we felt very trusting in her ability to provide a safe and enjoyable weekend for our dog. Many thanks!

Coco seemed to be very happy with Monica and enjoyed running around in her big yard. Monica was very easy to communicate with and responded to messages quickly. She sent photos and videos to keep us updated while we were away. I would highly recommend Monica as a pet sitter!

We have never used Rover before and are so grateful to have connected with Monica. She took exceptionally great care of our girl for two nights. She is a great dog, but has some quirks and Monica was on board with all of her routines, training and needs. We’ve only left our dog once before, as she has some needs that don’t work with kennels or other in home boarding services (particularly those that would have other pets and children). Monica provided us with updates, so we had peace of mind the entire time. Everything went so well. We very much look forward to utilizing her sitting services again in the future!

I’m recently retired so my availability is quite flexible, including weekends. I am fit and active, and enjoy daily walks and exercise. I also enjoy bonding with dogs and getting to know their quirky personalities.
