Pet care experience

Happy Dog without a Jog

As a kid growing up in Santa Barbara, animals were always my best friends. I have been tending to many kinds of animals/pets for as long as I can remember and in the presence of them for even longer! One's of my own, my family's, extended family's and friends and their kids, neighbors, (and their friends, and families. I have raised many animals in my life. Some duties of that being feeding them, taking them out on walks/potty, training, grooming, and playing with them, picking up after. them, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not offering any service that include housing at my place at this moment. However, I am available to come to clients houses to care for your pet and walk your dog. Due to a lot of practice with taking care of my pets and handfuls of others, I am willing to do everything in my power to ensure safety, joy/happiness for your pet, and take the time to really care and provide for your pet for when you can't.

Monique has done a great job taking care of my 2 Dobermans! She always follows my 100 rules for them and makes sure all of their needs and wants are fulfilled! We will continue to use her every time we need someone to watch my big babies.

Monique took wonderful care of my boys. She treated them as if they were her own. Even my Ronin, who is very wary of new people, took to her with ease.

Monique is amazing! She took care of my two huskies while I was out of town for a weekend and exceeded my expectations. She sent many updates & was so easy to work with. She even stayed an hour later because our flight was delayed on our way home. She was perfect, I think my dogs are mad she’s gone lol. Highly highly recommend Monique!
