Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling.

My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Informations que Monica U. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique
Before services begin, please let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, mobility limitations, or other special care needs your pet may have. Please also share any behavioral concerns, including separation anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, escape tendencies, excessive barking, fearfulness, aggression, or other triggers that may affect your pet's care. Helpful information about your pet's routine, feeding schedule, sleeping preferences, favorite activities, comfort items, and personality can also help make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor care to your pet and help ensure a safe, comfortable, and positive experience.
Une journée type
A typical day depends on each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences. Some pets love walks, playtime, toys, and exploring new sights and smells, while others are happiest relaxing nearby and enjoying companionship. For pets staying in my home, the day may include walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, treats (if approved by the owner), cuddle time, and plenty of opportunities to relax and feel at home. My dogs are part of the family, and visiting pets are treated the same way. For drop-in visits and overnight care in a client's home, I focus on keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy through walks, play sessions, companionship, enrichment activities, and maintaining their regular schedule. Whether your pet enjoys chasing a ball, going for a leisurely stroll, exploring the neighborhood, receiving belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I adjust activities to match their individual needs and comfort level. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

Avis
Monica is a very thoughtful sitter. She kept me updated regularly about Angel and clearly made her feel at home. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.
Monica is the best!!! we had a foster dog that we were caring for during a time when we were out of town every weekend for an event, and Monica took care of him for us on the weekends. He had come from a traumatic background and we were working with his training. Monica was able to reinforce the potty training we were teaching him, and also helped him to feel safe and comfortable in her home, which really helped him come out of his shell. He loved playing with her other dogs, and we always knew that he was in a safe and comfortable environment and would be well taken care of while we were out of town. I would trust her with any of my pets, anytime!
Mónica & Mark have watched our Mia girl multiple time that we’ve been away! We have a Rottweiler over 100lbs & thankfully they come to our home. She’s super playful & protective & they are great people. And from the moment she met Monica & Mark, she knew she would be in great hands! They love taking care of her & she looks forward to seeing them. They do a great job making sure she’s well taken care & follow our steps so she never misses a beat!
