Availability
I prefer to work between 8am and 8pm, Monday through Saturday but feel free to ask if you need something outside those hours. Ideally, I hope to connect with a few clients that I can take care of their pets on a regular basis. I am open to dog walking and drop in visits at your place (to let outside, feed, water, snuggle, cuddle and companionship.

About Monique H.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to give pets their space until they get comfortable with me. I have a calm reassuring energy and animals tend to respond well to it. I am good at reading animals and follow their lead when it comes to their comfort. I have used baby gates as needed with my own critters, I always leash up (harnesses preferred) before opening a door, kennels (door open) are highly encouraged as a safe spot for pets to feel secure if they are anxious. I am mindful of a pet's needs and behaviors ie routine trips out to restroom, a good walk to expel energy or a cuddle to help soothe anxiety…

Information Monique H. would like to know about your pet
What are some likes/dislikes or triggers that your pet might have. Any beahviors ? What is their normal routine? Do they get treats, take meds? Require frequent potty breaks? Who to contact in an emergency? Current vet contact info…
A typical day
Walking around the neighborhood is always fun way to take in all the sights, sounds and smells of their surroundings, not to mention checking pmail along the way. Hide n seek with treats, tug a war and fetch are old favorites. And this human is always up for some some chilling and cuddling time.

Pet care experience
Lifelong animal lover here. Most of my four leggeds have been rescues. I have been an animal mom for several decades. I have experience with puppies, kittens, dogs and cats, special needs animals and senior care. Over the last few years I had to say goodbye to my two senior pets that I had for 17 and 15 years. I miss them immensely but am not ready to take on another pet full-time at this juncture. That's where you and your beloved pets come in. I love animals and they usually love me! I am semi-retired with a super flexible schedule so I can give lots of time and attention to your loved one. I have been a Special Education teacher and a mental health counselor and am consequently, patient, calm and nurturing. I am good in an emergency, and I have learned to never back people or animals into a corner. As a result, everyone's safety is ensured. That being said, I am not comfortable working with aggressive tendencies and prefer small and medium sized dogs, seniors and special need critters.

You will never find a better sitter! My baby who has special needs, adores her!


Monique is amazing! Super reliable and trustworthy, and also very patient with all my requests!

If Taco is not friendly then you can just leave him at my house.
