Active, nurturing and fun dog mom

Pet care experience

I had a shih tzu for 16 years that I took care of since I was a teenager. She recently passed away of old age, and I miss having a furry friend. I have pet/house sit for friends while they were on vacation with no issues. Maintaining feeding schedules, going for walks and enjoying play time are of absolute importance. I’m good with puppies & senior dogs. During a recent boarding I taught the puppy to walk down the stairs 🎉

Monique, was awesome a very nice lady . We did a meet and greet, fluffy took to her very well. She kept me up to date with fluffy. Fluffy is a senior dog whom requires daily eye medication and Monique was able to assist with that. I felt extremely comfortable with fluffy being left with her. Thank you Monique!

Monique is so much fun and loves dogs. She loves going for long walks, so she likes to take the dog with her because she knows the dog needs to get out also, so it’s a win win Situation for both parties. Monique takes her time with them to make sure they’re fed, clean, and dressed appropriately for the weather, especially the footwear. She refuses to allow the dogs to walk in snow and salt bare paws. It’s cute to see her with dogs talking to them and prepping them for their walks. She really loves them as her own children.

Monique is great with my son ("dog") King! She is always so kind and patient with him no matter how hyper or overzealous he gets. She treats him as her own and I know this based on how he always happy to see her and excited to leave with her.

Availability

I work from home, therefore, I’m available majority of the day during the week for feeding, playing and walks. I wake up early and maintain a strict schedule for myself so there will be no issue managing your pets normal schedule. On weekends I’m usually home during the day but out in the evenings (we can discuss specific plans).
