Pet care experience

Your Pet's New Best Friend

Hi! I'm a highly reliable and compassionate pet sitter based in Saratoga Springs, New York, with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals with all sizes and temperaments. Since I was 14, I've provided trusted care for neighbors, family, and friends - handling everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and companionship. I'm an efficient communicator who prioritizes clear, timely updates, so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment.

Monique was such a wonderful sitter! She was responsible, communicative and took great care of Bear! I would highly recommend her for any sitter needs! Thank you, Monique, I felt so comfortable that Bear was in great hands!

She is such a beautiful soul, has great communication, accommodating and is just so sweet. Will be booking her again and would highly recommend! She took great care of my two pups and they loved her! Being pups they did get into a few things along with making a few messes and she cleaned up after them every time. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch them.

Monique was great in taking care of my two cats, including administering medicine in the ear of one. Highly recommend.

I would trust Monique with my animals' lives! Having known Monique for about 15 years, I can honestly say she is the most responsible person I know. Throughout her life in high school and college, I watched her take on more responsibilities than anyone could possibly balance, yet she proved over and over again that she was capable and never once let a single thing lapse. Now, as a young adult, she continues to show the same sort of responsibility and poise. As my neighbor, I asked her to house/ pet sit for me while I took my family on vacation. She took care of two great Danes and a cat with no hesitation, both Danes being extremely high energy and prone to trouble. We came home to find them happy, healthy, and best of all, tired! Since then, she has been the only sitter I trust. She is amazing!

I am comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and some behavioral needs such as leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or high energy levels. My preference is to know any triggers, medical needs, feeding instructions, or training cues ahead of time so I can provide consistent and safe care. Clear communication helps me give your pet the best experience possible.
