Aside from regular potty breaks we will take morning and evening walks. We like to fill sunny days with general play time outside and on really hot days I have a small pool for the ones that love water. We also think it is fun to make snow cones for the dogs. I'm currently converting my basement into a play area so when I am done there will be enrichment indoors as well.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is not fenced in but we watch the dogs while they are outside and leash them. We walk daily and I truly love them as if they are my own! Housebroken animals are allowed to roam free in the house on the furniture and feel secure in a loving environment while we are home. During the evening and while we are away we do crate or separate the animals for safety purposes, I normally like to play classical music or leave the TV on to Animal Planet of the dogs while away. Puppies will be in the home but supervised more closely, my dogs are great with all dogs and will be good for socialization, they will be taken out once every other hour and given treats for positive reinforcement of good behavior. I can also work on Bell training if requested. Dogs with excessive behavioral issues such as excessive urination, barking, and aggression unfortunately will have to be separated and crated. Please let me know if you have an unfixed female, my bullmastiff is unaltered.

A typical day

We will walk frequently, once in the Morning and once at night, summer nights we will enjoy outside while we practice recall exercises and a small wadding pool and enjoy snow cones! Mosquitos are bad this year so we are currently limited on outside time but we do enrich their inside time.

Lets me love your dogs!

Pet care experience

I managed a doggy daycare where fell even more in love with dogs! I am an active volunteer and always trying to help the animals around me! I work from home Thursday and Friday so your dog will be with me on the couch or the in my office on my work from home days. Monday-Wednesday your dog will be will be gated off from my dogs while I am at work but will have a nice fluffy bed, a blanket, toys and soothing music to listen to.

Monika and her family treated our dogs like their own. She sent pictures and communicated timely, was very flexible, and personable. We will definitely use Monika again!

Thanks so much and for the bath. He looks like he had fun from the photos and the video. The boy does love water and mud.

Monika and her daughter did a great job with Chip. They kept me posted several times a day and he seemed content. I could tell they really liked him and made sure he was comfortable.

Monika took our dogs in over the 4th. She sent lots of pics so I knew they were safe and sound! We got to meet her dogs and loved hearing how they all did together. Would definitely use again in the future.
