Loving dog mom and sitter!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. For as long as I can remember there have always been animals in my home including dogs, cats, birds, fishes, turtles, and even bunnies. Obviously, I developed a huge affection towards all animals and I learned how to care for each and every one of them. The experience I gained at home made it easier when I had my internship at my pets vet back home in the Dominican Republic. There I developed even more skills about how to care for animals and how to treat many different diseases. Every day I got to go to the vet and work hand in hand with all of the veterinarians. It started off as a week internship requirement for my high school in order to graduate, but I ended up interning for the entire summer 2018. Now, I am currently a student at Western Michigan University. I brought my dog, Max, all over from the Dominican Republic with me. I love taking him for walks in the trails and take him almost every day to the Knollwood park to play. I never leave him alone for more than 2-4 hours. He was raised with 5 other dogs back at home, so I always want to take him to play with other dogs and arrange puppy play dates. I currently have a lot of time for Max and would love for him to have other furry friends to play with him. I am sure that Max and your furry friend would enjoy each other very much. Not only will Max be super happy with a friend, but I love animals and always enjoy taking care for any pet!

Monica was very knowledgeable about the care of dogs. She was very accommodating and quick to respond to all inquiries. She took Cooper for walks and to the park. I would recommend Monica

Monica has watched both of my large dogs and i was beyond pleased with everything she did with them. She followed proper feeding and walking instructions to a tee. She even would update with video call and send pictures multiple times a day. She has a german shepard of her own that is taken care of phenomenally daily. She is smart with dogs and knows how to properly love them and care for them. My dogs were taken out more than 4 times a day to the park for never less than an hour. She played fetch with them and trail walked them. I would highly recommend her services and go back to her for them in a heartbeat.

Monica was AWESOME! We have a doberman, which is a very high energy breed and Monica took him in stride haha. He had lots of play time and cuddles (we know from the pictures and videos she sent us) :) She was also very accommodating when she extended Kodaks stay for 3 extra days, because we couldn't pick him up on the schedules date. I would high recommend Monica, as she loves your pet like its her own!
