I can't say enough good things about Monica. Her love of animals is so evident in how she cares for them! She has walked our two dogs faithfully, in all types of weather. She always checks their paws to be sure they dont have gravel stuck in them, and often let's us know when it is time to trim their nails! She will play with Emmie, our 11 year old Boston who still has a lot of energy. At the same time, she is super patient with our old guy, Spike, our 15 yo Lhasa apso. His back legs don't work so well, so she gently carries him down the stairs and helps him get to where he needs to go. Monica tells me she'd also like to take care of other types of animals like snakes and birds. We dont have any if them, but I highly recommend her to people that do!
