Animal lover and happy to help 🤗

Pet care experience

I grew up always being surrounded by animals/pets from guinea pigs, goldfish, dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, turkeys, goats and cows. I’m a fur mom of two dogs-an English Mastiff and a boxer/pit mix we recused from Georgia, a handsome male cat we rescued, a beta fish and 17 chickens. Past work experience include working at a dog groomer in the area for 5 years. I worked with dogs and cats while working there so I have been around/handled a lot of different breeds of dogs and cats in all shapes and sizes from little dogs to massive dogs. When working there I assisted with holding the dog or cat on the grooming table with the groomer, I fully bathed and dried them, helped clip dogs and cats nails, I constantly cleaned the crates, tub, grooming tables, work areas and tools used for grooming, tended to the animals for potty breaks/cleaned up their business and I stayed/looked after the animals until picked up by their owners. I also helped with setting up clients appointment for their fur babies and going over everything that was done for their dog(s) or cat(s). I have watched my own family members pets while they were away and I have experience with dog sitting clients dogs that came to the groomer I worked at since I was familiar with their pets already. I have been around puppies, senior dogs, dogs that have anxiety issues, dogs with disabilities, and dogs that have some aggressive behavior too and would be willing to meet your fur babies to see if I would be a perfect fit to care for them.

Safety, trust & environment

I would meet up with the client at their location to where I would be caring for your pet(s) and to personally meet your animal(s) I would be caring for so they can see and interact with me in their own space/territory and to go over what to do as far as feeding, letting them out to the bathroom, walking them, etc. I’m happy to help with your fur babies if there’s special instructions and routines not a problem such as needing to be crated to a specific area or needing a certain toy or blanket/bed.

Information Monique D. would like to know about your pet

For me it’s important to know if your pet(s) have any specific routines or medications that need to be given at set times. It’s nice to know if your pet(s) are shy, nervous, or social with new faces. Do they have an food aggression or aggression towards any other animals? If they needed to be crated or leashed? It would be appreciated to know if it’s a young or senior dog/cat and what the breed is and how many animals I will be caring for please. Also, most importantly if your pet has any allergies to anything or any medical condition I should be aware of. Thank you.

A typical day

I’m all about having fun and playing with your fur babies if that’s what they like to do. I’m up for playing ball/fetch, tug-a-war, running around with them, playing with their favorite toys and going for a walk if that’s allowed. I like to give my full attention to your fur babies and spend time with them such as sitting with them, rubbing their belly, scratching their ear etc.
