Your Pup’s Favorite Staycation!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Monique—a work-from-home dog mom to my sweet boy Ollie (he’s 3.5 and full of personality). I know how hard it is to leave your pup behind when you travel—I’ve been there, and that’s exactly why I care for every dog like they’re my own. Your dog will get lots of love, attention, and snuggles here. I’m home all day, have a fenced backyard for safe playtime, and I love going for walks. It’s a calm home with no small kids—just my two older boys (12 and 15) who are gentle, respectful, and big animal lovers. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets how special your pup is, I’d love to be your sitter!

I highly recommend Monique as a pet sitter! She is incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive when it comes to animals. I’ve personally seen how loving and patient she is with pets of all kinds. One of her greatest strengths is her creativity—she’s always finding fun and engaging ways to keep pets entertained and mentally stimulated. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just spending quality time together, she makes sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Anyone who trusts her with their furry friend can feel confident they’re in excellent hands!

Monique is a truly amazing dog caretaker! She has a natural love for animals, and it shows in the way she interacts with every dog she meets. Monique has dog-sat for me on numerous occasions, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. She’s not only responsible and attentive, but also genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Her own dog is absolutely adorable and clearly very well cared for, which speaks volumes about how much she loves and understands dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and experienced to care for your furry friend, I can’t recommend Monique enough. She’s the best!

Monique is one of the most trustworthy and compassionate people I know - especially when it comes to animals. I always come home to happy tails and calm, well-loved companions. Monique is incredibly attentive, responsible, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, she treats every pet like her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her on Rover

Dogs have full access to our home and are treated like family here, but I can absolutely crate your pup if that’s what they’re used to or if it makes them feel more comfortable. Whatever helps them feel safe and loved while you’re away!

I work from home full-time with lots of breaks and flexibility, so walks are a daily thing and your pup will never feel ignored. I’m always popping out for fresh air or taking a break to throw a toy around or give some belly rubs. Dogs are such a big part of my everyday life, and I love having them close. Ollie even has a bed in my office!
