Experience with animals and own pets
I am lucky to share my family with Stoffel and Jay-Jay, 2 mid-sized rescue dogs. Stoffel has a prominent underbite and as such he requires special care - all his meals are soft food that he does not have to chew! They are very active and well trained.
Our family also used to include a Rottweiler cross called Karools and a Cockatoo called Kokie. As a little girl, I loved Kokie soooo much that he even accompanied me to school!I have helped out regularly at my local SPCA. I have shadowed at both a small animal veterinary clinic and assisted and shadowed at a large animal veterinary clinic. I have also helped out on a cattle farm. I have also taken care of friends' pets over holidays when they were away.

Monique was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time I left my babies with someone they did not know but Monique made me feel very at ease so I could enjoy my time away. I will definitely be using Monique in future.Date of Review:

Monique is a fantastic dog sitter, I just don't want to praise her too much as other interested parties might want her as well and then she has no time for us.

Monique shows such enjoyment looking after our girls. Four very different personalities. That can test one. From stubborn to unsure. She handles them beautifully. Hence the request for her a second time. 2017 will be the same. We will request her specificyDate of Review:
