About Monica
Please contact me for pet minding in your home if your pets and home are located in Sydney's Northern Beaches, and you are looking for an experienced, trusted pet minder in your home. All rates include madpaws Indemnity Insurance for your pet.

Speaking of rates, if you book me for longer than 4 nights, then the advertised rate goes down by 20%. That's currently a rate of $60 per night going down to $48 - from someone with my expertise in your area, you won't find better.

If you give me the opportunity to visit you and your pets in your home, you'll be sure to see them comfortable and relaxed around me.

Generally my calendar, on madpaws website, is up-to-date, but don't stop asking as sometimes changes happen.

About me: I am a 50 something female, taking care of dogs and cats, and have been house and pet minding exclusively in Sydney Northern Beaches area taking care of residence pets and their homes for coming up to 7 years now. I'm committed to doing pet minding permanently.

I enjoy the company of dogs and they seem to enjoy mine too, as do cats. If your dog or cat follows you around the house whilst you're at home, which I find most do, rest assured they will be doing the same whilst I'm minding them too. Animals trust me and attach to me very quickly. This trust ensures they don't fret in your absence so you can relax whilst taking that much-earned break.

Please give me the chance to visit you and your beloved pet to discuss your requirements - you won't be disappointed.

I'm a non-smoker and a non-drinker. Will keep your home clean and tidy throughout my stay. Working part-time, a few days a week, I'm home most of the day and always in the evenings and at night, so your pet will get plenty of company, attention, love and care. No one else but me will be in your home.

I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies so we can go over your requirements.

Cheers,
Monnie

*More*
Many of my minding jobs are repeat customers, which is an indication of how much care, attention and fun their pet gets, as well as my keeping the pet owner's home clean and tidy.

I have plenty of references. I also have Police Clearance and two other authorities that are an indication of my impeccable record in a trusted care scenario.

I have set myself up to accommodate your pet / house minding requirements for Long or Short-term stays and/or for Weekenders.

By the way - did I mention I have minded Chickens, as well as Bunnies, Rats, Guinea Pigs, Fish, Dogs and Cats. Yep chooks are a favourite of mine now, since I minded them for the first time a few of years ago, and many times since, along with other pets in the home. Dogs, cats, budgies, rabbits, rats, hermit crab, guinea pigs, goldfish and chickens!

NB: this madpaws website requires I put details about my home suburb, but I'm not minding pets at my home - I stay in your home with your pet in their comfortable familiar environment. I do hope admin can fix this, because I want to mind houses and pets throughout Sydney Northern Beaches. My homebase is Newport, but I'm never there.

Thanks for looking at my profile. Happy to meet you and your beloved pet, to go over your requirements, at your convenience.

The full $rate shown here is for lovingly minding a pooch, requiring 1 walk 20 minute walk per day and outings.

Monica was wonderful and took great care of our reactive Australian shepherd and blind cat. Not only that but she left our home so clean and tidy. She is lovely and professional.

It’s hard to find someone you trust enough to be there for your pets and care for them like you would. Monica is that person. We all think she’s brilliant!
