About Me

I did not have a fur baby of my own until I turned 18, when I chose to rescue a senior dog with heart failure and obesity. Despite her health issues, I spent 3 loving years with her. Although it was a short amount of time, I’m glad to have given her the best life until her passing. Currently, I am the proud “fur mom” for a 1-year-old kitten who is full of chaotic energy and loving snuggles.

For complete transparency, I have a full-time job in the medical field because I am passionate about helping both people and animals equally.

What clients are saying

  • Liz G. and Oatmeal

    Monique is a wonderful pet sitter! We first met Monique when she worked at our local vet’s office and were excited to find out that she is doing pet sitting!

    Monique has done in-home care for our pug oatmeal, on multiple occasions. Oatmeal has “Stranger danger” but has taken to Monique and likes to sit with her- they read together.

    Monique is great at communicating and keeps us informed about what oatmeal is doing. Plus, due to her working in veterinary care, we feel comfortable that she would be able to handle any “surprises.” We definitely recommend Monique to care for peoples [et (as long as she still has availability for Oatmeal- haha)

FAQ

  • I understand that leaving your pet with a stranger can be stressful for both you and your pet. I highly recommend setting up a meet and greet with me so I can meet both you and your fur baby. It will help ensure that I create a positive and trusting relationship.

  • Due to my diva cat, unfortunately I am unable to provide boarding services at this moment.

  • Before providing care to your pet, I do ask that you write a detailed list of feeding measurements, any special dietary instructions, any allergies, medications, emergency contacts, preferred veterinarian, and any known illnesses or conditions.

  • If your fur baby becomes ill while under my care, I will notify you of the situation and discuss their condition.

    Full disclosure, I am experienced with working at a veterinary hospital, but I am not a licensed Veterinarian. I can offer advice and opinions based on my knowledge, but I cannot be held responsible for making medical decisions for your pet. Your input and instructions regarding your pet's health and care will always be prioritized.

  • Payment for pet sitting services is required by the first day of service. Cash or Venmo are the preferred methods of payment. Any alternative forms of payment must be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of pet sitting.
