Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws-itively Reliable Dog Sitting
I am a lifelong dog lover dedicated to giving dogs the love and care they deserve. After recently losing my two beloved dogs—a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute—I’m excited to share that love with other pups through dog sitting and walking. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and medical conditions. My previous 130 lb malamute had diabetes, cataracts, and arthritis that required constant monitoring and care that I am very familiar with.

Ratings and reviews
Monique did a great job! She kept me updated throughout the day and went above and beyond to provide such an awesome and engaging experience for my dog. I look forward to future bookings with Monique and highly recommended her services to all.
I used Rover for the first time and I’m so happy we found Monique’s profile. She welcomed us for a meet and greet the week before so my pup could check out her space. Monique has everything your dog or puppy needs while they’re away from their loved ones. She had everything from bowls to dog toys and made her space very comfortable for her guests. The moment I saw my pup’s reaction to her house, his tail was wagging. He was exploring her backyard, and I knew this was going to be a perfect fit. I left my dog there for one night and Monique was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me photos. She even sent me a picture of how his food was prepared. I was a little nervous about leaving him with two other dogs, but Monique reassured me that he would do just fine and he did! Onyx was even walking with other dogs on the same leash and playing with them. Monique truly has a gift with dogs. She made the whole experience so warm and comforting that Onyx now has a nanny for life. Thank you so much, Monique. You are truly amazing.
Leia had the time of her life at Monique’s!! I got updates and pictures all thru the day and I could see all the fun toys and comfy beds she was taking advantage of!! Monique is VERY protective of the pups she cares for, making every little thing safe and comfortable for the kids in her care. She’s thorough in making sure both her home and yard are safe and secure. She took Leia on 2 walks and when I got her home she immediately passed out from all her playtime. She also sent me home with the most adorable mini polaroid picture (in a magnetic sleeve for the fridge) to commemorate her first day at daycare!! I felt 💯 at peace leaving her with Monique. I highly recommend her!!
Theodore and Oliver love staying at Monique's house.
Monique is amazing. The dogs are happy and tired 😀, which means they had a lot of fun playing. I had several updates throughout the day and Monique even went out of her way to meet the dogs ahead of time. Can't wait for their next visit.
Monique was wonderful. The two boys had such a good time. She kept them busy with playtime, walks, and sleeping. Daily updates and pictures was so nice.

Schedule
I work from home, which allows me to provide your pup with consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout weekdays and weekends, unless I’m already booked. I love staying active and enjoy daily walks, playtime, and engaging activities, so you can trust that your dog will get the exercise, mental stimulation, and affection they need to stay happy and healthy.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home features a fully fenced front patio and backyard, giving your dog a safe space to play and explore. Inside, dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, and overnight crating is available if you or your pup prefer. I’m also within walking distance of a local park, allowing for additional walks, outdoor play, and socialization. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, stimulation, and affection in a safe, loving environment.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs both mentally and physically active. During their stay with me, we’ll spend time playing puzzle games I have from my previous pups, which are great for keeping their minds busy. For physical activity, we’ll go on walks around the neighborhood and, if your dog is comfortable, head to the nearby park for some extra outdoor exploring. My goal is for your pup to feel happy, engaged, and right at home while they’re with me.
