About Monica
Hi! I'm Monica — a lifelong animal lover whose dream is to cuddle as many pets as the world allows. 🧡
I offer dog walking, home visits, and overnight house sitting 7 days a week. I work in hospitality (mostly weekends and some evenings), so my schedule is flexible — I’ll do my best to match your pet’s routine and needs.
I live in Fortitude Valley and use public transport, so I prefer jobs not too far from there. **At the moment I'm taking walkable distance only**
🐶 Dog Walking
Whether it’s a gentle stroll around your block or an energy-burning park session, I tailor walks to your pup’s personality and stamina.
🏠 Home Visits & House Sitting
I’ll care for your pet in their safe space with love, attention, and cuddles. For home visits, I stay at least one hour — not just a quick in-and-out. I’ll also follow any care instructions, administer oral meds, and can water plants or bring in mail if needed.
🌟 My Approach
Every animal is unique, so I take a bespoke approach based on their personality — whether they’re an excitable working dog or a senior cat who just wants some gentle company. Their comfort and well-being always come first.
🐾 My Story
I grew up in Brazil surrounded by animals, and my last pup Tyson was with me for 17 beautiful years. Since moving abroad, I’ve missed that daily joy of caring for animals.
I also volunteered at a cat rescue NGO for two years as a foster parent, giving rescued cats a safe, loving home until they found their forever families. I also handled vet trips and transportation between foster homes.
Now in Australia, I’m continuing my animal-loving journey through Pawshake — and every booking fills that furry void in my heart.
📸 Extras
Daily photo updates are always included — I know how much it helps to see your pet happy while you're away!
🕓 Availability & Pricing
My prices are currently lower than average as I build up my reviews. They’ll increase gradually with experience, so booking early means you lock in today’s rates. 💡
🧡 Let’s Connect!
If you’re looking for someone who sees pet care as joy (not just a job), I’d love to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly friend.
Let me help make your life easier — and make mine happier — by caring for your paws. 🐾
