I work from home for the DoD, so my schedule is generally my own, virtual meetings aside. I will get my dog out early (6 - 8), in the afternoon (2-4) and once in the evening (8-9), but my pup isn't opposed to mixing it up. I can always dial in if I want to mix in another walk.

Information Monte W. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know about the usual goofy dog stuff: if they don't like crowds or too many other dogs; any walking or health limitations; anything they might not react well to.

A typical day

Aside from getting in three walks, I have a big open living room for tossing some toys around. I am a regular at the Washington Park dog park. Just as often I take the walks down to the River Walk. Happy to bring pups along to Queen City Radio for my weekly schnitzel.

Pet care experience

Just moved to Ohio from San Diego where I was everyone's favorite dog sitter. Raised my 11-y/o lab (Sea bass) and currently have a 7 y/o collie-terrier mix. Gets along well with others. Have watched great Danes and dachshunds and labs and huskies. Have managed medications before. Have managed diets before. Have watched for weeks at a time before. Have watched four dogs (three friends) at a time before. Pups and older dogs. Never had an incident. Work from home in a spacious apartment in downtown Cincinnati. Have an office/spare room if the pup needs some space. Big windows for watching people down on the street. Quick walk to banks or Washington Park. I like to get three walks a day in if the heat/weather permits. Sometimes more as I like to walk the city. Easy to adjust schedule if need be. Other than that I am just happy to have another doggo in the place and out to get to know dog people in the area. Happy to take pictures of the fun stuff I am allowed to get up to and the random cute photo. My dog will stay off the furniture if I tell her but it's just me in my place and I can handle dog hair.

Our dog stayed with Monte for five nights and had a great time! Monte was very responsive, flexible and active with our dog. We will definitely use Monte again!

Monte was absolutely wonderful with Gracie, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. From the start, Monte was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Gracie was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Gracie was content when I returned, which says everything—you can tell she was in great hands. Monte was communicative, thoughtful, and treated her like his own, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Monte to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter. Gracie and I are both very grateful!

Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.
