About Monica

My name is Monica and I manage Daycare and Boarding at our Cave Creek location. I have been with Partners for three years now, and I genuinely love this work. Every day I get to help dogs feel safe, settled, and confident while they are in our care, so families can leave them with us and know they are in good hands.

I teach our Pre-School Puppy and Zoomer's Agility classes, and socialization and confidence building are the parts of the job I care about most. Watching a nervous puppy learn to move through the world with a little more courage never gets old.

Specialties & Programs

Training Philosophy

I follow the Partners balanced approach, personalized to each dog through our four stages of Teaching, Reinforcing, Proofing, and Maintenance. With puppies especially, that means meeting them where they are and building real confidence one small win at a time. I want every dog in my care to leave calmer and more sure of themselves, and I want their families to see a puppy who fits into normal life at home.

Ideal Client & Goals

I love working with puppies. Watching them grow physically and mentally, and figuring out how to help each one problem-solve, is my favorite part of the day. If you have a young dog and you want them to grow up social, steady, and comfortable in new situations, we are going to get along well.

Experience

I started as a volunteer foster for a bully breed rescue in California, then worked at a daycare and boarding facility, apprenticed in grooming, and became certified in pet first aid and CPR. That background shapes how I run daycare and boarding at Cave Creek today, with an eye on each dog's comfort, safety, and steady growth.

Favorite moment: My favorite moments come from working with puppies, watching them grow and problem-solve, and seeing a nervous pup turn into a confident one.
