I currently work and go to school in Mesa as a graduate student, but when my schedule allows and our availability aligns, I love spending my extra time caring for pets. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy and find relaxing — it’s a great balance to my school and work routine. Pet care is something I genuinely look forward to during my week. It gives me a chance to slow down and connect with animals, which I truly enjoy. When your pet is with me, you can trust that they’ll get gentle, attentive care every time.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to follow their regular routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. During overnight stays, I focus on keeping their environment calm and familiar — providing plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention while making sure they have everything they need, from meals to bedtime comfort. For drop-in visits, I check in to make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, a clean space, and gets a little one-on-one time filled with love and play. I also take time to tidy up after any messes, refresh litter boxes if needed, and ensure your pet feels content before I leave. During walks, I make sure every outing is fun, safe, and suited to your dog’s energy level. Whether it’s a short stroll for fresh air or a longer adventure, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. My goal is to make sure your pet feels cared for and loved — just as they would if you were home.
Information Monica V. would like to know about your pet
I always like to learn as much as possible about your pet before caring for them so I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. It’s helpful to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any special habits or quirks that make them unique. Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs, medications, allergies, or mobility issues, as well as how they typically react to new people or other animals. I also like to know what comforts them — whether that’s a favorite toy, treat, or routine that helps them feel relaxed and at ease. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care to fit your pet’s personality and needs. My goal is to make the experience smooth and stress-free for both you and your furry friend.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable. I love starting the day with a nice walk or some playtime to get their energy out and start things off on a positive note. Whether it’s tossing a ball in the yard, going for a neighborhood stroll, or playing with their favorite toys inside, I make sure each activity matches their personality and energy level. Throughout the day, I give plenty of love and attention — from brushing and feeding to cuddle breaks and calm downtime. For cats, that might mean interactive play with feather wands or laser toys, while dogs might enjoy fetch, sniff walks, or gentle training games that keep their minds engaged. In the evening, I make sure they wind down feeling relaxed, fed, and content before bedtime. My goal is to make every day feel like a mix of comfort, fun, and care so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away.

Loving Care When You Can’t Be There
Pet care experience
I’ve always had a love for animals, and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent years helping take care of dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I take pride in making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have lots of hands-on experience with all parts of a dog’s routine — taking them to the groomer, brushing their coats to keep them clean and comfortable, and making sure they get plenty of time outdoors. Walks are one of my favorite parts of the day! I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged, whether it’s exploring the neighborhood, playing fetch, or just enjoying the sunshine together. Every dog I care for is treated like family. I pay close attention to their needs, routines, and unique personalities, and I always do my best to make them feel right at home. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in loving and reliable hands while they’re away.
Reviews
Monica took such wonderful care of my dachshunds! They were given lots of love and attention, and I could tell they were happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and caring Monica was and it gave me total peace of mind knowing my pups were in great hands. I’d definitely recommend Monica to anymore needing pet care!
Monica is an incredibly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She treats every animal with care, attention, and affection, making sure they feel safe and happy. I trust her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Highly recommend!
Monica is very responsible and takes such great care of animals! She has personally watched over our pets and gave nothing but top-notch care. She is prompt and also pays very close attention to details. Our pet had a strict medication routine and Monica was on top of it! I highly recommend using Monica for all of your pet care needs!
