About: I am an occupational therapy student & I love spending time with dogs! I have experience boarding, walking, and drop ins for friends and family in the past. Growing up with dogs, I love all dogs of any size or breed. My love for animals will make this experience a privilege, rather than a job. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat your pet as my own and I will provide them with the utmost attention and care. I am very friendly, reliable, and eager to spend time with your pet! I am currently in graduate school and I am very flexible with my schedule! I can always work around your needs to walk your pup! I have two friendly dogs at home to keep your pet company if they are boarding here. My dogs love to play with other dogs & is excellent about sharing his space.

19. Monica K.
“First, Monica has a heart of gold and is a very caring person. I've witnessed her personally dog sitting for her upstairs neighbor's dog across many days and she treated it as if it was her own. The dog seemed completely comfortable and at ease, making herself completely at home. I have no doubt Monica would be a great caregiver for any pet, and, being an active person, she has the energy to deal with whatever is thrown at her, and would not hesitate to go on regular walks. You can't go wrong.”
