Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.

Information Montserrat J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special needs or have any sort of preferences. I want to accommodate everyone I’m able to take care of.

A typical day

I tend to take the dogs outside in order for them to be able to smell everything they desire at their own pace! I never rush any dogs when we’re walking around the neighborhood since I want them to enjoy the time they spend outside. Depending on the toys and activities available, I tend to throw tennis balls or sticks since the dogs I’ve taken care of love to run and scatter for said items.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay.

We’ve used Montserrat several times now. She’s the best. She really takes good care of our dog Riley and they seems to get along well. She is attentive to him, sends us lots of updates, I can’t say how lucky we are to have found her!

My dog was well taken care of. She gave updates and pictures throughout the day. Would book with her again!

She was amazing with my dog! And her family was too! They all embraced him and did what they could to make his stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Wonderful attention to detail and asks all the right questions. Also sent me plenty of pictures and videos so I would miss him less. Would leave my dog with her again in a heartbeat!
