Canine Care Extraordinaire
Pet care experience
All of my years of experience working with dogs comes from owning them, working with them in a professional environment (grooming, dog daycares/boarding facilities and veterinary offices) and have acquired a lifetime of experience observing and working hands on with my father and mother who are some of the best canine behaviorists in the business! I have been holding a leash almost as long as I have been walking and caring for our own canine crew for as long as I can remember. I have met and handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments and skill levels. I have been trained to read canine body language and handle fearful or aggressive dogs humanely and safely. In addition to my behavioral experience, I also have experience as a dog groomer which allows me to offer nail trimming and ear cleaning services. I am currently a stay at home mom to my two wonderful boys who are in school 8am - 3pm Monday thru Friday which allows me to dedicate that time to my clients but I am also available weekends and weeknights. Locks and doors are always double checked upon departure as well as before and after walks. I always check for loose or malfunctioning collars/ leashes prior to exiting the home. I never introduce a dog I’m walking to another strange dog and I never ever ever take a dog off leash outside (even with an owners permission!)
Reviews
Sofie had a great day with Monique! She devoted all of her attention to her and I could tell Sofie had a great time. She instantly took to Monique when they met. She sent pictures to me throughout the day and told me what they were doing. She asked if I was OK with her plans before she did them. I highly recommend her for your needs.
When I went on vacation, I left my beloved pets in the care of Monique. She was very professional and very understanding of my pets needs. She would give me updates as I asked for them and my pets seemed to be well taken care of when I returned.
Monique was absolutely wonderful with our dog. We would highly recommend her.
Monique was very accommodating and our dogs loved their stay. She lives in a location convenient to several highways.

Information Monique P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their age, whether they are intact or not, if they are aggressive towards other dogs, men or kids. If they are fearful of things such as stairs, loud noises, thunder, cars passing by or even the mailman.
A typical day
I walk all of my dogs in their own neighborhoods or yards and generally refer to their owners for ideal routes, parks that are close by or areas to avoid.
