Highlights
Pet care experience
Hi, Can your Dog come out and play?
I've been told by friends who have dogs, that the relationship I've built with their babes is one based on respect. That is because I am someone who is observant, and looks for the right cues before attempting to step into their comfort zone. Which is why when I'm asked to care for their pets, they can trust that I am there to look after them and care for their boundaries. That is also true when it comes to following their pet's routines and habits that are established, as well as having an understanding of their personalities. Every pet is different, it just takes a little time and patience to understand them.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I do have four babes. One dog and three cats. I do have routines for them when it comes to meal times, and potty breaks. For Nani, my dog. She has her breakfast around the same time every morning, which is usually after I am done getting ready for work. Then soon after she finishes her breakfast, she cues me for a potty walk. We go around the block and she does her business and comes back home to a treat and some play before I go to make my breakfast. For my cats, Chachi, Mizu, and Jojo. They get their breakfast right before I take Nani out for her walk, that way they can eat peacefully and take their time without Nani wagging her tail at them. For the rest of the day, If I am working from home Nani gets a mid day walk around our grassy area at home, but usually in the summer she prefers to stay inside. The cats, I do tend to take mental breaks from my laptop, so one of the things I do is play with them with their string and give them a lil catnip for them to relax. Dinner time is a bit more relaxed, the cats have an auto feeder so their dinner serves at 6pm and for Nani, she gets her dinner, and then she cues me for a walk. Usually my husband and I alternate when following these routines, so in the case I'm out pet sitting, I am grateful that my husband will be able to take care of our babies while I care for yours. That is the way I care for my pets, based on their needs. I am big on routines, because that is how I've raised them to be. However every household has different lifestyles and understanding that is important when choosing to care for someone else's pet's.
Ratings and reviews
10/10! We had a great experience with Monse! She took incredible care of our dog, Biggie, while we were out of town and made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and attentive while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Biggie was in good hands and being well cared for. We came home to a happy pup, which is really all you can ask for! We’ll definitely be using Monse again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and in their home.
Friendly, trustworthy, and attentive!
Monserrat was extremely kind and attentive. Our young German Shepard is extremely shy and untrusting of new people. Monserrat was patient and kind in her care. She provided multiple updates and proceed to build a trusting relationship with both us and our dogs.
We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear our dogs were in caring and capable hands. She took amazing care of both of our pups. Our 9 year old dog with an established routine, and our 9 month old puppy with endless curiosity and energy. We asked her to keep our pups company at night so they don't get lonely. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that both of our babies were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. She handled the different needs of our older dog and our puppy with patience, and genuine affection. We came home to two happy dogs and a tidy home, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, we highly recommend her. We will absolutely book with her again!
My husband and I always travel and for long periods of time so it’s really important we find someone that not only will care for our pets, but also love them and treat them the way we would as if we never left. Monserrat is the perfect person for that job. We’re a bit more particular with how we do certain things so it was reassuring that she kept us updated not only with pictures and videos but also messages and is available for calls if ever needed. She is very reliable, respectful, knowledgeable and kind. We never have to worry about our babies when she’s around as she treats them like her own. Thank you, Monse!

Schedule
I do work from home two days out of the week, Monday through Friday. However, the remote days are flexible, and the rest of the week I am on the field conducting home visits for patients. Therefore whether you need me to house sit, for a day or two I can adjust my schedule to meet that, as long as I have enough notice. Or if you just need me to stop by for a potty break or a walk, I can add it to my route of visits. On weekends, I am available within reason. I am flexible, and I can do my best to accommodate your needs. It just takes a conversation and some planning.
