Monique can care for
Availability
Currently, my schedule is completely open as I am in the process of searching for a position to start my career in veterinary medicine. This allows me to dedicate ample time to providing the best care for your furry baby. Whether it’s for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I can accommodate your needs with flexibility and reliability. I prefer a 3-day to a week's notice to ensure availability and provide consistent, attentive care for your pet.

About Monique C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for your furry baby by mimicking their regular routine as closely as possible. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and play schedules to reduce stress and ensure they feel secure. I pay close attention to any specific instructions from pet parents regarding behavior, medical needs, and favorite activities. Safety is paramount, so I carefully monitor interactions, provide secure spaces for rest, and use positive reinforcement to make your pet feel loved and cared for.
Information Monique C. would like to know about your pet
It is crucial for me to be informed about any behavior issues, aggression towards people or other animals, bite risks, and any medical concerns. This helps me tailor my care to meet the specific needs of your pet and ensure their safety and comfort.
A typical day
I prioritize the preferences of pet parents for walking locations but personally enjoy taking dogs to the beach, expansive parks, nature preserves, or downtown areas, as long as these places are safe and free from dangerous wildlife. This ensures that the walks are enjoyable and enriching for your pet.

Your Furry Baby's Happiness First
Pet care experience
I am a dedicated Veterinary Assistant with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Norfolk State University and a Veterinary Assistant Career Studies Certificate from Tidewater Community College. With hands-on experience from internships at two SPCAs and volunteer work at the Humane Society, the Virginia Beach Aquarium, the Virginia Living Museum, and the Portsmouth Humane Society, I am equipped to provide exceptional care for your pets. My training allows me to detect early signs of abnormalities in your furry baby's and other animal's behavior or body that owners may overlook. I treat every furry baby with the same level of care and attention I give my own, ensuring they are always engaged and happy. Whether it's through play with a variety of toys tailored to each dog's personality or engaging walks in safe and stimulating environments like beaches, large parks, and nature preserves, I aim to keep your pet both mentally and physically active. Having recently graduated from NSU, I now have temporary open availability while I seek a career position in veterinary medicine. This flexibility allows me to be more accommodating to your scheduling needs, with a preference for a 3-day to a week's notice to ensure availability.
Reviews
Monique was wonderful! She’s super friendly and knowledgeable. Our pets loved her, and we did too! She took great care of everything. We will definitely will be hiring her again.
Very friendly and knowledgable person but unfortunately showed up late consistently and the walks were always shorter than 30 minutes.
Monique care and attention to our oversized baby was top notch. When we returned the house was in good order and our baby boy was in good spirits. I would definitely book her again.
I appreciate everything Monique dìd for my baby while i was away.
