Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pup is part of the pack!
Hi there! My name is Monica and have grown up with dogs my whole life. Dogs have always been members of our family. I have raised and trained 6 dogs from when they were puppies! They all lived happy lives, well into their senior years. I have many years of extensive experience with all different temperaments and breeds of dogs. I have lived in rural and urban environments. "I have doctored my animals with vet guidance and care." Administering medications, injections and basic first aid when needed with farm animals, cats and dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Monica took care of my senior dog who struggles with anxiety and dementia. She took loving care of my little baby. A thoughtful and loving caregiver.
Monica is the best! She couldn’t have been more welcoming. My dog clearly loved Monica’s family and her dog. They went on daily walks and played in the yard at home. Just perfect. Many thanks!
Our dog had such a great stay with Monica and her family! They took great care of him, went on multiple outings (e.h. hikes, beach), and just loved him up. Also their dog was a great and friendly companion. We’d happily have him there in the future!
Monica is an amazing pet care mom. Her dogs are always trained and given the most remarkable care. She is also a loving pet mom and I know that she would use those same traits while carrying for other people’s pets.
Monica is an amazing person! She possesses a rare and beautiful gift with animals She is very compassionate, reliable and trustworthy. Monica has several pets and she treats them with so much love and attention. They are a big part of her family. Anyone would feel great about leaving their pets with her. I highly recommend her for pet sitting and for walks.

Schedule
I work from home and have a very flexible schedule to be with your pup for most or all day. I walk our dog Lulu first thing every morning and an evening walk and work in between.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority! I will host up to, two dogs per household for boarding. I live in a spacious home in the Berkeley hills, with Tilden Park behind us. There is a fully fenced yard, and spend a good amount of time outside on the trails. I want to assure you that your pup is in good hands. I totally know what it's like to leave your pup while traveling on vacation or a business trip. Having that peace of mind means the world!
Pets
A typical day
Daily we're always up for a good trail walk or playing fetch with a favorite ball or frisbee. Depending on your pups needs and energy levels, I will custom the experience. Rain or shine, we always get exercise and have fun. Also my family member is a sweet border collie, Lulu, who loves the company of other dogs. There are lot's of room for cozy cuddles and a comfortable naps after playtime! Play-nap-repeat!!

- I am happy to arrange a meet and greet that is required with all new clients. Please let me know of any behaviors, restrictions, medications or dietary considerations ahead of scheduled visit. I follow your instructions. I also request the importance, that all pups are up to date on vaccinations and additionally flea and tick treatments. This is to ensure that all of our pup friend's are healthy and secure in a healthy environment while staying in our home.
