Large fenced in yard, doogy door, and friends

Pet care experience

I rented my house unseen. I only saw the yard and handed the money over - anything for my dogs! But why only for my dogs? This home is a wonderful dog vacation location. Huge yard with toys, digging allowed, comfortable beds inside, and a doggy door for sunbaths and night time emergencies. 4 separated rooms for time outs, and 3 dog friends with different personalities that will be matched to your darlings' preference. I also know the area quite well. So if your dog needs swimming, exceptional sniffing opportunities, agility training or anything you want him or her to do, I can make it happen. I have experience in dog training and dealing with aggressive dog behavior. In most cases your dog isn't as aggressive as other people tell you. Unfortunately, only you know that but I can help training with your inside and my knowledge. If your dog was ever denied at a day care facility, try me. I am one of those people with an abundant, genuine love for dogs that makes live harder but so much happier.

It is much pleasure that I am writing these lines to let you know what a wonderful human being Monika is. As long as I have know Monika she has always been devoted to dogs. She took great care of my dogs when I had left Las Vegas and moved back to New Jersey. Snoopy and Monty grew very attached to her because she was very loving to them. She always made sure that all their needs were being met. Monika did me the favor out of the kindness of her heart. After my dogs joined me in Jersey, she moved to Florida were she adopted Sailor. Sailor had a short and wonderful life, but unfortunately he passed away from a congenital blood disorder. After such an unfortunate end, she moved into a place where her roommates were neglecting a pair of pit mixes that they owned. Monika took care of the situation and started training, exercising, feeding, and loving the dogs. When she and the roommates went separate ways, they gave her the dogs. A few months ago, another dog found its way to her place, and she took him in. Any dog that find its way into her home and heart is a very lucky animal.

Monika is the perfect candidate if you are looking for someone to care for pet. She is very trustworthy, reliable and has a true love of animals. I highly recommend her.

About Monika H.

Safety, trust & environment

Meet my pets There's Thiago, 3 years; running and chasing are his specialties. He will get along with huge egos and large, powerful dogs. He is very intuitive and obedient. Small dogs are unfit as they can be very intimidated by him. Then there's Stuvie; 2 years. His name is a mix of Stevia, the natural sugar and Truvia, the brand name. Why? Because he is so naturally sweet and gentle. He will get along with anybody and anything. (cats, rabbits, elephants,...) He likes to play, wrestle, and cuddling up for naps. And there's Matteo. A nuclear 1 year old who is yet to be powered out. Play, run, wrestle, outsmarting humans, and chewing are what he lives for. I am still training him so if your dog needs the same or a refresher, this will be a great fit. I never asked for either one of them. They just showed up in my live and remind me everyday how lucky we are to have dogs in our live.

Information Monika H. would like to know about your pet

I need to know everything. His or her preferences, feeding times and brand, medication, temperament, walking and running routines, likes and dislikes (like squirrels:), do's and dont's as dictated by you, and I want to meet the dog(s) before a commitment. I don't care about the breed but I prefer large dogs. I also take dogs with temperament issues as I have this unique, separable location and situation to give him or her a chance to socialize and the knowledge to act accordingly.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in an old Florida neighborhood. There are 5 different routes to chose from so it never gets boring. I take my own dogs to a secret place where they can run and swim free; it depends on you and your dogs' obedience whether or not they will be allowed that. I live not too far from a dog beach and in between 2 dog parks. Your dog's sleeping arrangement You tell me. I have couch where they can sleep, enough room for his or her bed, and my own bed if he or she needs/ is accustomed to sleeping with humans. They can switch between inside or outside at night. Time I'll spend with your dog Whatever he or she needs.

About this sitter: I know how hard it is to be away from my dogs. The only way I could perform my job or manage through family holidays overseas half way relaxed, was knowing that they were taking off the same way as when I would have been there. Therefore, I will strictly comply with your instructions and keep you updated via Skype or such, even in the middle of the night. Dogs have given me so much, I will return the favor eternally.
