Active & professional pet sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Rebecca Monnier and I am a full-time professional petsitter and the owner of Furst Choice Petcare, LLC. I am 28 years old, with more than 5 years experience in the petsitting industry. I've provided in-home care to animals, including feeding, litter box cleanup, daytime walks, and overnight stays. I offer FREE initial consultations, where I will meet you and your pet(s) and become acquainted with their routines and your pet care expectations. About my home: My husband and I live on a private lane 5 minutes away from the NCR. We have 2 acres of very gently sloped land. We are both dog lovers and we would love to host your dog! My husband works from home and I am home about 70% of the time weekdays, and 95% of the time on weekends, so your pup will constantly be cared for in a loving and safe environment. With owner permission and weather permitting, your dog will get daily walks on the beautiful NCR. You must provide all food and treats that your dog eats-we do not give the dogs any table food (unless you do, in which case you can bring the table food and we will give it to them according to your directions) The same applies to toys. You can also bring your dogs bed, although we have a bed that is washed in between different dogs. We have a crate if you use a crate at your own home. We will follow any rules you have at your own home in order to minimize any disruption in the dogs routine. You and your dog will love me because I truly love animals. To see a dog smile because of something I have done brings me so much happiness. When I care for your dog, my goal is that they are happy, joyful, and peaceful. I want to care for them just like you do, and strive to take care of them the way you do. When your dog stays with me, they won't be the only ones getting exceptional care--you will be too! I keep an open line of communication between myself and my clients in order to ensure a positive and trustworthy relationship. I'm happy to send tons of photos and updates with what we've done during the day. Your dog's safety is my number one priority--and your home's is too! Whether you have a high-energy pet, more of a couch potato pet, or something in between, I will provide loving, professional petcare services for your animal(s). I have extensive experience working with large animal-reactive dogs. I grew up with 2 highly reactive dogs and attended behavior management classes with them to help them overcome their fears. I've worked with small, large, and in-between breeds and I'm a big fan of rescue dogs. I recently started volunteering at Baltimore County Animal Services shelter in Baldwin-I mostly work with the dogs, providing walks, playtime, and socialization. I am looking to supplement my family's income so my schedule is very open. I am able to do scheduled visits as well as last-minute visits as we all know life is full of unplanned surprises. I look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Rebecca is very serious about her work and ensuring your pet gets the right care while you are away. It's worth it to get an experienced sitter so you can rest easy while you are away....
Rebecca was great! She took Ryley on a long walk every day and sent me a ton of pictures. It was definitely the best boarding experience I've ever had.
Rebecca is awesome. I was in the area for work and found Rebecca on Rover. She helped me with my two pups at my hotel. Couldn’t have done it without her help. Thank you! We will see you the next time we are in town.
Rebecca was super! She took care of our house, 2 cats, 2 dogs while we left for a long weekend. It is so nice to have a responsible adult upon whom you can depend. One of our dogs is a skittish rescue and she was incredibly patient with him, coaxing him in and out of the house, and won him over by the end of the weekend. She also cleaned up and laundered after he had a small accident. She is just great and I highly recommend Rebecca!
About Rebecca M.

Skills
Information Rebecca M. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting for a dog, I need to receive confirmation that their shots are current. I also need written down instructions regarding your requirements and your pets preferences, especially any requirements and preferences that will ensure a safe and happy experience for both your pet and myself. I do not really have any preferences for breeds-I adore all dogs!
A typical day
I am a very active person so if your dog is willing and able, we can go on runs/fast walks or even a hike in a local park. I also enjoy leisurely strolls and even just sitting on the grass and giving belly rubs. We can also play tug-of-war or ball- I'm pretty fantastic with a Chuck-It! We can learn and or practice any number of commands such as 'sit', 'stay', or anything you want your dog to learn. From previous experience, I find that dogs really enjoy learning commands, as it provides mental stimulation and can increase the dog's self-esteem.
