Pet care experience
I have always grown up dogs in the house - usually two dogs at a time. I have owned small dogs (pugs and boston terriers) as well as large dogs (boxers and labs). As I got older I gained more responsibility for caring for my dogs. I was responsible for walking them daily and feeding them morning and night. I also helped potty train two of my dogs and teach them basic manners such as sit, stay, come and fetch. I also have experience with elderly dogs. My last boxer had arthritis in her spine and hips, I would carry her up and down stairs, and would still take her on slow, short walks. She also got seizures and I would care for her during and after making sure to calm her, give her water, and ensure her health and safety.
Reviews
Monique stayed at our house for 3 nights to sit for our dogs. We had a great experience. She came over a week before for an hour to go over anything she might need to know. The dogs took to her immediately. As far as we know, Monique was at home with the dogs most of the day thanks to her flexible schedule and working from home. Our dogs need a lot of exercise and she took them on walks, hikes and runs each day. She sent us photos periodically, which we appreciated. We came back to happy dogs and a clean house. When one little thing in the kitchen broke, she replaced it, leaving a little note. Monique was very responsible and we will be using her again while we are traveling for a longer period of time.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your dogs, I try to keep them on the same routine that you do. The times that you typically feed and/or walk your dogs, I'll do the same. I also make sure to let your dogs out multiple times per day so they can potty. Plus, I will walk or exercise your dog daily or to their preferences.
Information Monique M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dogs quirks, their behavior around other dogs, if they are leash trained or comfortable off-leash, and if they become aggressive in any situations.
A typical day
I am very active! If your dog is up for it and you are okay with it, I would love to take your dog for a walk, to the beach, to a dog park or even on a hike.

I currently work from home in marketing M-F, which makes it easy for me to spend time with your pup! I'll have a lot of time to keep your dog company and take him on walks.
