Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and well-being are non-negotiable priorities in every aspect of care I provide. In Your Home: I maintain your pet's established routines, keep your home secure, and stay vigilant about potential hazards. I provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you're away. On Walks: Dogs remain on secure, appropriate leashes at all times. I'm constantly aware of surroundings, traffic, and other animals, choosing safe routes suited to your dog's temperament. With Cats: I ensure all entry points are secure, respect their boundaries, and follow feeding and medication schedules precisely. I'm knowledgeable about feline safety and keep them away from any hazards. Emergency Preparedness: I have a clear action plan for emergencies and will immediately contact you and your veterinarian if any concerns arise. Communication: Transparency builds trust. I provide regular updates and openly discuss any behavioral observations or concerns. Your companion's safety isn't just a job, it's a promise to you.

Information Monique S. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best possible care for your companion, here's what helps me prepare: Health: Medical conditions, medications, allergies, vet contact info, and emergency protocols Behavior: Temperament with other animals/people, fears or anxieties, reactivity, and calming techniques Routine: Feeding schedule, walking preferences, bathroom habits, sleep routine, and known commands House Rules: Furniture access, off-limit areas, leash preferences, and any training in progress For Cats: Litter preferences, indoor/outdoor status, hiding spots, and play style The more details you share about your pet's personality, quirks, and needs, the better I can replicate their home routine and ensure they're comfortable and content. Every pet is unique, and I'm here to accommodate what makes yours special!
A typical day
Every pet gets personalized fun based on their unique personality and energy level! Dogs: Long exploratory walks, energetic fetch or tug sessions, mental stimulation through puzzle toys and scent games, safe socialization opportunities, and post-adventure cuddle time. Cats: Interactive play with wand toys and chasers, window perch "bird TV" sessions, treat puzzles and enrichment activities, and calm bonding time respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to what each pet enjoys most. Some dogs crave marathon adventures while others prefer leisurely sniff walks; some cats are playful hunters while others enjoy gentle observation. I adapt activities to match their mood and energy, ensuring they're genuinely happy and fulfilled. The best part of my day? Seeing tails wag, purrs rumble, and that contented exhaustion after quality play and connection!

For Dogs: I'm passionate about long, engaging walks and active play that help your pup expend energy and stay physically and mentally stimulated. Whether working on training basics or simply providing adventure, I ensure every outing is both fun and fulfilling. For Cats: I create calm, nurturing environments where felines feel secure yet encouraged to explore. I understand cat behavior and body language, allowing me to build trust with even the shyest companions. I love animals and am committed to treating every pet as family. Your companion's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities.

Reviews
I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛
Monique was awesome and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend her. She took excellent care of my kitties like they were her own.
Ms. Monique was lovely and caring with my 14-year-old dog. She sent us a daily status and pictures. When we picked up our dog, he was fast asleep, which made me think he was comfortable. Thank you Monique.
I’ve had the chance to see firsthand how Monique takes care of their her cat, and it’s honestly impressive. She is incredibly attentive, gentle, and patient—always making sure her cat feels safe, entertained, and well cared for. She notices the little things, like changes in mood or habits, and she goes out of her way to make sure everything is just right. Her home is calm, clean, and cat-friendly, and you can tell she truly enjoys spending time with animals. If she is this dedicated with her own pet, I have no doubt she will give the same level of care, love, and responsibility to anyone else’s. Anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to watch their pet would be lucky to book with her.
