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 0-30lbs : $45/ Puppy : $50 *MEDIUM 31-59 : $50/Puppy : $55 *LARGE 60-90lbs : $60/$65 There is an additional charge for medication administered.

Provided daily updates and was very attentive to my dog. He seemed very happy when I picked him up, and was not acting overly clingy even after a week away. This showed that he was well taken care of and had a good time. Zero complaints, and I would absolutely book here again in the future. Monique was great to communicate with and was very attentive to detail.

Monique was quick to respond and great with overall communication. She provided updates via photos which was nice. We were late getting back home and she was flexible with her timing so that was helpful as well.

Monique & Anthony took great care of my black lab mix, Maggie. It was the first time boarding her, and I left the country- Monique was great about sending photos and reassuring me about how well Maggie was doing. She answered all of my anxious questions! I am already planning another trip in April, and when I know the details I will be booking in Maggie again.

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.
