Information Monique B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs like allergies, medications, or things that trigger them like skateboards. Otherwise I’ll care for them as my own while they are with me!

A typical day

Typically I’ll stick to the routine you provide. I love long morning and/or late evening walks to get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. Indoor fetch is a classic, of course however, I also love a cuddle!

Pet care experience

My love for dogs started the moment a stray wandered into my yard when I was a child - I hid him in the backyard for three days before my parents found out ! :) I’ve been caring for animals in various capacities for most of my life and have been part of the Rover community since 2022. As a PhD student who does Rover full-time, I have the flexibility to be available when needed. Whether it’s drop-ins, house-sitting, boarding, or walks, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule - including last-minute bookings. Your pet will always have my complete, undivided attention! I’ll always respect your home and routines, following your rules and adapting to whatever works best for your companion. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and care you would, and do everything I can to make them comfortable and at ease while you are away. A note to pet parents: If your pet has any special needs, allergies, medications, or specific conditions or triggers, please share them with me. The more I know, the better I can care for them! Can’t wait to meet you! 🐾

Mo was wonderful! We were nervous to leave our senior rescue dog behind for a trip because he has some physical handicaps and emotional quirks, but Mo was reassuring, communicative, and we got him back better than when we left him. Will not hesitate to book Mo again!

Monique is amazing!! Took such good care of our two kitties for 10 days, and they have a lot of specific requests to say the least 😂 highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
