The She-Wolf Pack Leader

Pet care experience

As a child, I had a fear of dogs. On evening walks with my mom, she had to bring a walking-stick so that if a stray dog comes around, she would be able to shoo it away. Growing up, I over came my fear of dogs and learned a lot about becoming a great-pack leader. I've got experience with a variety of dog-personalities from submissive or shy to scared or aggressive. I have owned 6 dogs, 1 cat and trained them all myself. Yes, I taught my cat tricks! I'm capable of keeping dogs active physically and mentally along with, keeping them groomed with love. I'm very professional and friendly. I work in the tech industry in the Bay so I definitely understand how much time is devoted to pets. Well, look no further! I'm a solution to help a busy dog-owner that wants to give their dog some extra love!! I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Other details: I have 1 cat that is super friendly with people and dogs, of any size. My home is setup where she can be above the floor when she wants to be alone. I am capable of training dogs to be around a cat!

Monica kept us well updated on her whereabouts when away from the house as well as in with photos of our dogs. She is attentive and responsible when tending to our needs and our home.

Monica did a good job with my cat and dog while we were out of town.

Our dog Sienna was in great hands with Monica. From the start we did a pre-meeting so Sienna could meet Monica and her dog. That involved a walk around the block. Then we dropped Sienna off for the weekend and we were worried since Sienna gets a little anxious when we're not around. Monica checked in with us and sent us pictures which put us at ease. I will definitely use Monica's services again!

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Monica is amazing. She is so calm and great with my hyperactive 5-month old puppy. You can tell that she really loves dogs. She is not afraid to get on the floor and play with them. She also gives regular updates which helps for those worriers like myself. I fully trust her with my puppy. I can't recommend her enough!

A typical day

To keep the dogs balanced, they will need physical and mental excersises. I focus on their breed and align it to their instincts. For example, dachshunds will play fetch and tug-of-war at parks and for labs or terriers, frisbee and nice long hikes in the bay!
