Hello and welcome , I'm Monique. I was born and raised in DC, I currently serve and live in Waldorf MD and the surrounding areas . I currently working from home as a balanced dog trainer which allows for me to have a very flexible schedule. I Specialize in daily dog walks, cat visits, drop-in pet sitting, and home checks while you're away. Care is also provided for exotics like rabbits, birds, and sugar gliders because every species deserves compassion and respect.
Monique was my dog walker for three years, caring for my two very rambunctious huskies, Biscuit and Lulu. Anyone who knows huskies knows they need structure, stimulation, and a lot of patience — and Monique handled them beautifully. What I appreciated most was that she didn’t just walk them — she educated me. She took the time to talk with me about techniques I could use to make our walks safer and less frustrating so we could actually enjoy them. She helped me understand how much enrichment and mental stimulation they truly needed, something I hadn’t fully considered before. Once we incorporated more games and structured activities, I saw such a difference. Her insights were thoughtful, practical, and empowering. She truly cared about both my dogs and me as their owner. We no longer live close by, but I am so grateful for everything she did for Biscuit and Lulu. I wish her nothing but continued success.
