As a full time dog carer who works from home I am able to supervise and spend time with the dogs throughout the day. If I step out to run errands I have gates that allow me to separate dogs when needed.

Information Monique Z. would like to know about your pet
Just as safety is a priority for my dog luppie, the same will apply for your dog. I am very attached to my boy so I understand what it is to feel the need to be protective. I will care for your dog just as much as I care for my own. I am happy to complete a meet and greet to discuss any and all questions or concerns needed for your dogs potential stay.
A typical day
During the day we make sure to let the dogs out as often as possible. Our goal is to keep their tanks empty and our home clean. Having frequent potty breaks allow us to do so. If the weather permits we are outside for longer periods of time. Playing fetch or throwing a tennis ball is our favorite especially before bed time. Exerting as much energy is the goal, it helps with getting a restful sleep for all.

Veterinarian Technician Student
Pet care experience
— Hello! My name is Monique and I am a full time experienced dog carer. I have been walking and taking care of dogs professionally for nearly 10 years now. I am a veterinarian technician student and my Fiancé Anthony is a veterinarian technician. We both work together to create a smooth, yet fun and loving experience for you and your pups. I study online and work from home. This allows me the time to supervise your dog during the day and provide careful and personal attention to him/her while you are away. I am also a dog mom so I understand how important it is to make sure your dog is in the right care. Meet and greets is something I highly recommend. I welcome you and your dog to come over to meet us and get aquainted with the environment as well as meet Luppie (my dog kid,) Anthony and I. All questions or concerns will be discussed during our meeting, as well as any special instructions or request and everything needed for the duration of the stay. DURING YOUR DOGS VISIT : * Multiple potty breaks will be provided throughout the day. -Morning, Afternoon and Evening- *Feeding schedule will be followed as instructed * Pictures daily via Rover app * A spacious and large backyard for running and exercise ( Entirely Fenced ) *A clean and dog proof environment * Lots of hugs and kisses & TLC ! MEET & GREETS ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTED. Although in certain circumstances this may sometimes be difficult I do prefer to meet to make sure that your dog is friendly and able to get along with other dogs. I do have a limit on the amount of dogs that can visit, however more than one dog present is a possibility. Your dogs comfort is most important to us, so for any special need dogs, or elderly dogs I do have a separating system in which I can use to best fit your dogs needs. *RATES* depend on dog size/breeds as well as Drop off time. Please view the size chart below and time schedule. Also please keep in mind that this is our home and not a kennel facility attending dozens of dogs at once. Home comfort and space is provided for a unique and personal experience for your dog. SIZE CHART: *SMALL 0-10lbs : $40/ Puppy : $50 *MEDIUM 10.5-25lbs: $50/Puppy :60 *LARGE 25.5-60lbs : $60/puppy $70 There is an additional charge for medication administered. Sunday: CLOSED Please understand that we too deserve a day “off.” This doesn’t mean we are not home or un able to have your dog at our house. This just means Anthony and I decided to choose one day of the week where we do not meet with anyone (family day). We suggest pick up or drop off the day before or after Sunday. We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate you understanding.
Reviews

Monique is a wonderful sitter. It is obvious how much she cares about animals and she always take great care for my dog. He always comes back tired (from all the play and running around) and happy. When I leave my dog with Monique, I know he will be well looked after. And it is always easy to transition back into our routines when I pick him up because he is always healthy, calm, and happy. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Monique as your next sitter. She is just lovely!

We were in Connecticut for a major surgery at Smilow Cancer Hospital and found ourselves in need of a Rover. We reached out to Monique right away and we were so happy when she accepted our request to book. She was flexible with us given our unique situation and took great care of our sweet Hondo. We could rest easy knowing Hondo was in good hands! Monique went above and beyond and we are so thankful for her! Cannot recommend enough!

Monique and Anthony did a great job taking care of Oscar. They sent me pictures every day. Made me feel at ease about his care. Oscar was extremely excited to see me when I came to pick him up.

monique was very communicative and caring with our Pogo! he is just a puppy and she was patient and understanding about his needs. would definitely rebook!
