Certified Vet Tech to love your dog

Pet care experience

I have grown up with both dogs and cats in my home and I now have three dogs of my own. I have worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician caring for a variety of animals' medical needs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes! I have recently worked as a Doggy Daycare Manager and understand how difficult it can be to leave your loved ones in a new place. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and believe they bring such a joy to the lives of their human companions. If I were to pet sit for you, I would definitely need to spoil them a little while you're away! I have experience sitting for multiple pets and have been pet sitting occasionally for the past 7 years. I have worked as a shift leader in a large dog boarding facility so I do have quite a bit of experience working with all temperaments of dogs. I also try to limit the amount of new guests I have at a time to one to two families. This is so I can get to know new dogs and give them a safe and happy experience during their stay with me. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking with any new guests to ensure the best fit for everyone.

Monica always does a great job watching our pup! She is very flexible with drop off and pick up times which works great with my schedule, plus our pup loves spending time with her and her doggies. She is always our first choice when looking for a sitter!

Monica Was very attentive to ours and our dogs needs. Our dogs seemed to do well in her care, and weren't all stressed out when we returned home. She sent a couple of pictures to show us they were going fine while we were gone. She was also very helpful with text messages and updates to keep the process moving forward. We'll be back, possibly as early as next month.

Information Monica T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or medications and I’m happy to provide an experience tailored to their needs. If you have a larger breed dog that has a history of jumping fences just let me know so I can keep an extra close eye on them or walk them on a leash while in the yard.

A typical day

My sitting style varies depending on the needs of your dog(s). For older pets I spend a lot of time cuddling and doing slower activities such as a leisurely walk. For younger dogs I love to play fetch or frisbee with them. If they do well off leash I do like to go hiking at nature centers. I do work full time M-F but spend lots of quality time with my own dogs and guest dogs while I'm home!

I work from home full time so I can typically be very flexible with drop off and pickup times. Since I am at home, frequent potty breaks are no problem for those that need it (puppies, seniors, etc.).
