Being an early bird, along with working from home, provides me ample time and flexibility to give your pups love, attention and exercise. If they'd prefer to sleep all day (like my old little lady did and new baby loves lol), there is a bed right next to my desk for them to snuggle into ❤️

To make your fur babies as comfortable as can be in my home, I do my absolute best to follow their routines. I also have crates ranging from Small to XL and if that's what your pup needs, I'm happy to bring them out so you don't need to lug yours over. There are lots of beds, and plenty of furniture to get their fur on lol

Information Monica T. would like to know about your pet

If a dog has food/toy aggression, or any other known aggression triggers. Are there any allergies, known health concerns or physical limitations I should be aware of during their stay. Are there certain rules you'd like me to adhere to, while your dog is in my care.

A typical day

I live in a very 'walkable' neighborhood. I do my best, weather permitting, and pup permitting, to be outside a lot with the dogs I care for. We love to hang out in the backyard, play (if that's what your furbaby is into), and go on walks. We have lots of toys, and when we're hanging out inside, we can play, or lounge depending on the mood. Dogs are welcome on all of my furniture unless given specific instruction by the owner to not allow them.

Pet care experience

My sweet puggle recently passed at the age of 17. Her and I dog sat for over 12 years prior to me closing on my first house in April of 2019. At that time, I found Rover, and have added nearly 5 years to my experience. Have adopted a sweet puggle mix named Chloe, and she has a great temperament. She would love to meet new friends! The house has a fully fenced backyard, which provides a safe and fun play area! I also work fully from home, and can easily accommodate different feeding schedules, and potty needs. What sets me apart, I believe, is my long-term history of watching a variety of dogs with varying personalities/challenges, along with other pets in the home. It has always been enjoyable and has been even better since having my own home. I absolutely cannot wait to help you and your furbabies! Our home is their home :)

Monica was great! She went above and beyond when she came and took care of our dog. She was great to communicate with took her time to make sure he was eating. Will definitely rebook with Monica again.

Monica was amazing with Matilda. Plenty of updates and photos. Matilda had a fabulous time, and my worries were gone. I will definitely book again, and highly recommend you do too.

Monica was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving all our dogs with her, and loved that she sent pictures and videos every day!

Monica was absolutely wonderful! I felt so comfortable and at peace knowing my dogs were well cared for. She was very attentive to my senior dog’s needs. As someone who frequently travels from Syracuse to Buffalo, it’s such a relief to finally find someone I can trust with my dogs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
