Experienced & Active Handler
Hi there! I am Monique, and I’ve been a dedicated dog lover my entire life. Growing up in a home with large breeds like American Staffordshire and Pit Bull Terriers, I learned early on how to handle dogs with confidence and care. Currently, I’m the proud owner of a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. Because of her, I have a deep understanding of high-energy, highly intelligent breeds and the mental stimulation they need to thrive. I’ve spent over four years working with a local trainer in both individual and group obedience settings, so I am very comfortable reinforcing positive training habits and managing different temperaments. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet, so my goal is to provide you with total peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I am also comfortable and happy to administer medication if your pet has specific health needs. Beyond my own pup, I have extensive experience pet-sitting for a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, and Pugs. Whether your dog needs a brisk hour-long walk to burn off energy, a quick drop-in visit, or a cozy place to stay overnight, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care. I treat every dog I sit as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion!

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I am visiting your home or hosting in mine, your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard with artificial turf, providing a secure space for play. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s preferences—if they are used to lounging on the couch or sleeping in a bed, they are welcome to join me! If your dog is crate-trained or simply feels more secure in a crate, I have one available to make them feel right at home.
