Pet care experience

Simply want to show dogs some love!

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! 🐾

When I began looking for a house sitter last month, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Monique was available to book again! It was great having someone we know and trust taking care of our two dogs. We came home from a relaxing vacation to happy pets and a pristine apartment. I will definitely check Monique’s availability first thing the next time I’m on Rover!

We reached out to Monique last minute to help us and she was a life saver! Our puppy loved her and we loved her for putting up with us! She was so accommodating especially because we had to have her watch our loud little guy in a hotel room while we went out. She eased his anxiety and ours and really allowed us to enjoy our mini vacation! Thank you!

Monique was incredible! She took excellent care of my aloof kitty and moved so many packages into my apartment while I was away. I will absolutely rebook in the future! Thank you Monique! 💕
