It's all about the L♡VE! #furbabies

Pet care experience

I have never lived a day without a dog in my life, until now. I'd love to keep my little girl's, Niña, spirit alive by continuing to love and care for other dogs - especially those that have ever been abused/rescued. I have over 30+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, breeds, and sizes. I am especially partial to rescues and special needs animals. It's all about the L♡VE!! Whether it's cuddling, playing, or enjoying walks, my incredible affection and patience with dogs envelops every experience to ensure they feel safe and loved. I'd like to continue honoring my pledge to Niña by helping other dogs and their parents. My afternoon schedule/availability varies; but, mostly work remote on Mondays and mornings Tues-Fri. I own reliable vehicle transportation and can transport to/from parks, vet/grooming appointments, or stay overnight as well. I wish to bring more affection and hope to help even the most challenging cases!

Monica was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, communicative, and accommodating. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in Philly looking for a boarder!
