Pet care experience
I’ve been passionate about training and caring for dogs since I was five years old, learning the basics from my dad back in South Africa. And before moving to Pittsburgh a few months ago, I worked closely under a professional dog trainer, which helped me deepen my understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. I’ve also gained valuable hands-on experience working at Nemacolin (Pet Boarding) Wooflands, caring for both dogs and cats with the utmost attention and compassion. I’m skilled at communicating with dogs of all personalities and have always had multiple dogs and cats in my home, giving me hands on experience with pets of different breeds and temperaments. I bring patience, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved.

Reviews
Really appreciate Monique being willing to come check on our Oakley girl very last minute and for the detailed updates/pics! Oakley loved playing fetch with Monique and getting lots of belly rubs!
