Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are Family Members!♥️
I grew up in a home that had a lot of pets & am comfortable with different animals. We had dogs, cats, birds, fish, mice, a rat, chameleons, rabbits & turtles. I was taught to love & respect animals. My belief is that pets are important family members & deserve TLC. I currently have 2 senior cats & a betta fish. My oldest cat is 17 & I have had her from 6 weeks old & she is still going strong. I have traveled by plane multiple times to do long term pet sitting for people because they trusted me in their home. I follow caregiver recipes & am willing to cook special dietary meals for dogs & cats while home sitting. I have thrown fur babies birthday parties with hats, presents & birthday “cake.” I send daily photos & videos so you have peace of mind that your fur baby is happy & healthy in your absence. I go the extra mile to take care of furry family members while they’re in my care.

Safety, trust & environment
Your family member will be welcome & treated like extended family while they are with me. I have extensive experience with animals & know how to respect their personal boundaries & when to give attention. I like to keep things tidy & am punctual. I have no problem vacuuming daily for medium or long hair breeds. I do scheduled feedings, walks for active dogs, daily litter box cleaning, snuggles & pets, grooming & playtime for pets to be healthy & happy. I will send pics & videos as often as you request & will FT weekly while your fur baby is in my care. I am happy to care for your pet and home as if it were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Monica is a great sitter. Really made me feel at ease leaving Silus in her care. She updated me daily during Silus’ boarding. I felt like I was leaving Silus in great hands.
I have 4 yorkies & I have had Monica help me with my dogs several times. She has done daycare at my home & did 1 weekend sitting for me. My dogs can be temperamental, but she is able to remain calm & bring a good energy that makes my dogs happy. I trust her with my pets & would highly recommend her services.
I have had the privilege of knowing Monica for over 25 years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know. She is compassionate, responsible, dependable, and someone who genuinely puts the well-being of others first. Monica is also conscientious, honest, and reliable. Monica has a genuine love for animals that I have seen firsthand. Her cats adore her, and I have also watched her with her son’s dog, who loves and trusts her. She has a natural ability to connect with animals and makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She is attentive to their needs, patient with their personalities, and treats them as part of the family. After knowing Monica for more than 25 years, I have tremendous confidence in her character and integrity. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a pet sitter and would trust her with my own pets without hesitation. Any pet owner will also be blessed to know Monica.
Monica is a true animal lover! I have relied on her three or more times now, and she is very dependable. During my two-week trip out of state, she took great care of my pampered six-year-old Morkie. My spoiled dog requires a homemade diet, and Monica went above and beyond by cooking her meals using my exact recipe. She made sure my pup received plenty of daily walks, play time, and all the affection she's used to. Most importantly, my dog loves her..she gets so excited whenever Monica is around. If you want peace of mind while away, Monica is the sitter to call!
Monica has cared for my 2 cats several times. Her professionalism and care were A++. Monica was on time and very caring to my cats. My cats are older cats and Monica was sensitive to their neediness and the extra care they require. Would absolutely request Monica to watch my cats if needed in the future.
Monica has watched my two dogs several times over the past couple years. They get along great with her, and I always know they'll be taken care of very well when they're with her :) During extended stays she has diligently followed care instructions, including preparing their homemade meals, taking them to the dog park/on walks daily, and bathing them. Nothing but great experiences!

Schedule
I have a small home based business, so I have the flexibility to give to your family member the time & attention they need. I start my day early. I believe in daily walks for active dogs, scooping litter boxes daily & set meal & snack times. Play & affection is an important part of animal enrichment so we will have lots of play time & snuggling. We will send you pictures & I am also willing to FT so you can have a quick chat with your fur baby. All animals need attention, care & play to truly thrive.
