West Valley's Trusted Dog Walking & Pet Sitting Services

We (doggies included) ADORE Monique. She is kind, trustworthy, thoughtful, professional, an excellent communicator and most importantly, she takes such good care of our dogs. The photos she sends us are evidence…Our dogs are always smiling ear to ear at her. She has also done some house/dog sitting when we go away and we feel so good having her in our home. Willow and Chuy give her 5/5 stars and so do we. A true gem of a human.

“Monique gets me. Sometimes I get way too excited when she comes that I jump all over her. I know it’s wrong, but I love her so much, I can’t contain myself. She kindly corrects me and then she plays ball with me to help me get all of my crazy energy out. I know she loves me despite my shortcomings.”

“I don’t trust many humans, but I trust Monique. She understands that I’m a rescue and that I need people to come at me gently. She also doesn’t judge me for completely taking over the couch in my old age and for moving a little slow. Bonus: she’s an excellent photographer. She knows my good side and she makes me feel like the glamorous lady dog that I am.”

Our dogs are our family, and entrusting my girl to a person who is patient, reliable, flexible, and trustworthy is critical. Monique is that person for me. What stood out for me initially was her patience. My 200lb mastiff refused to be walked by anyone but me. Monique was so patient in gaining her trust and never forced my girl past her comfort zone. Watching my girl get excited to see Monique was the highlight of my day. I love how Monique sends pictures of their walks. It is clear she loves what she does, and she loves the dogs she cares for. I trust Monique 100% and so does my girl!

Monique has been an absolute game changer! We got our puppy Beau during the early part of Covid and were never able to socialize her properly. Monique came in and had her walking on a leash with no problem the very first day. On walk days Beau is so excited when Monique arrives, and then she sleeps soundly for several hours after she gets home. Best days ever!” Oh, also! “Our favorite part is that Monique sends us pictures and videos of their walks every day, so we feel like we aren’t missing out on any of the fun. It is so clear that Beau is having the time of her life on her walks with Mo!”

We are so grateful for Monique! We started our journey with her and our dogs in 2021 and we are so happy that we found her. She has been watching our dogs since then on a regular basis. We weren’t able to travel before we started working with Mo and now we have even done overseas trips knowing that she takes care of our dogs at home. She understands our puppies and their needs and loves them as if they were her own. Our dogs are two big shelter dogs that require medication and aren’t socialized well, but Mo took the time to get to know them and earned their trust. Monique is friendly, caring, trustworthy and reliable. We highly recommend her!

I would highly highly recommend Monique to walk your dog or pet sit your dog. Anything you need for your animals she is the person to call. I have been using Monique for the past 4 years to 7 years to help me with my German Shepherd, and my little 15 year old Chihuahua (I also have 4 cats). She is caring, compassionate, and I consider her a family friend. I trust her implicitly with my animals, and when I book her, I get a sense of relief because I know my animals will be well taken care of while I am at work or gone on vacation. She is flexible with her schedule and between the two of us, we work something out so she is there for all the animals. She is the best photographer and always sends me pictures of what she did with them that day. I always find a cute little bed, rolled up and wrapped up for my little Chihuahua when she watches him. The nice touches of leaving a light on for me etc….. are icing on the cake. I truly feel she loves them as much as I love them. When I moved last year I was so thankful to stay in the area because I did not want to lose her as a dog walker. Again, I highly recommend her and would gladly answer any questions if needed.

When a friend introduced me to Monique I knew she’d be perfect. I am very protective of my baby and I don’t trust him with just anyone. Monique is super friendly and loves all animals. She is very reliable and trustworthy. My German Shepherd love when she walks him. Monique has watched and walked my baby for a few years now and it is always a relief to know he is in good loving hands. I highly recommend Monique.

Monique has been walking our dog twice a week for almost 2 years. Our dog loves her and is so excited when she comes to walk her. Monique sends pictures of our dog from every walk. They are beautiful pictures. Monique has been a real blessing to helping us raise our dog. She has been like another mom to her. She has helped with our dogs training and given us guidance with all kinds of behavioral changes. If there are any changes in the schedule, she alerts you of them promptly and is very flexible. She has great communication skills and is very kind. Monique has been a pivotal person in raising our dog and we are so very grateful to be able to call her when needed and know she truly cares about our dog and her livelihood. Our dog would not be so great without having her there for us. You will not regret having her a part of your dog's family. She is an amazing person.

My name is Greg and I would like to say a few things about our wonderful dog walker Monique Mego. I am not usually one to write reviews but I felt I needed to let people know what a wonderful person and animal lover that Monique is. ​I originally hired Monique on a temporary basis as I was scheduled to have hip surgery in June of 2023. She came by for a meet and greet and also to meet our dog Momo. Right from the start I could tell that Monique would be a fantastic fit. I loved her philosophy on dogs in general and the biggest thing was that Momo seemed to really like her. I had my surgery and needless to say there were other medical issues soon after and Monique has been there every step of the way for us. At this point in time, she has become an indispensable member of our team and also a friend. We absolutely love her. She has become Momo’s best buddy and the greetings are almost through the roof 3 times a week! As I continue to recover, and am able to take care of more of the walking duties for our animal, Monique will always be a part of the care of our dog at least once or twice a week. ​If you are looking for a responsible person to look out for your fur baby and that has their best interests at heart, then Monique is the person for you and your animal.

Dublin and I are forever grateful we found Mo’s Paws! From our very first conversation, Monique’s love for animals was immediately clear. I’m extremely selective about who I trust with my dog and she exceeded every expectation. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and responsible, and I loved receiving her daily photo updates. Most importantly, Dublin absolutely adored her! We can’t even say her name without him running to the window looking for her. We couldn’t be happier with Mo’s Paws and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup!

Monique from Mo’s Paws has been walking our two big dogs(Rottie & Bernese Mountain) daily for the last couple of years. She’s incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and treats our pups like her own. We’ve always felt completely at ease knowing she’s in our home—even when we’re away! Monique is also great with communication - always reliable, flexible, and quick to respond. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog walker.

We were lucky enough to have Monique stay at our home to take care of our two dogs while we were out of the country, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Monique went above and beyond. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos multiple times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were not only cared for, but also loved and happy. When we returned home after 8–9 days away, we were absolutely blown away. Our house was spotless—truly deep cleaned—an amazing candle was lit to welcome us, and she even left us a beautifully written card. It was such a thoughtful touch that made coming home feel extra special. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and detail-oriented. Monique cared for our dogs and our home as if they were her own, and we are beyond grateful. We cannot recommend her highly enough—she is truly a gem, and we would absolutely trust her again and again.

Monique and her team have truly transformed the way I can care for my beloved animals when I am out of town. I can now leave with so much greater peace of mind knowing that they will all be loved, showered with affection, play, exercise and cuddles. I always get wonderful pictures, hilarious/insightful comments and helpful updates on my beauties. It does my heart good to see all the ways Monique goes above and beyond to insure their health and wellbeing. This is definitely not a service that’s in and out with only a cursory approach. Monique is hands-on often bringing toys and puzzles as added enrichment. She’s become a member of our family/pack and there’s simply no one else I’d want spending time with my furry feline/canine friends when I’m not there.

Monique is reliable, trustworthy, professional, and most importantly, my three dogs adore her. Monique easily handled my leash aggressive dog, and got my other two exuberant dogs under control when she walked them together. I will definitely be using Mo's Paws services again, and have already referred her to my friends for dog /house sitting. We are fortunate to have found such an outstanding service provided by an amazing person, Monique

Monique is the BEST! Our dogs absolutely love her (and one of them is VERY hard to warm up to others outside of her pack) and we are so grateful to have crossed paths with Monique. Whether it be for daily walks or dog/house sitting, I cannot recommend Monique enough. She cares about our dogs as if they were her own. ❤️

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Monique! I first discovered her during the chaos of the January fires, and Monique immediately stepped in to help during such a stressful time. I was away from home and she went above and beyond to check in and care for my cats as needed. After things settled, we adopted a dog, Lucy, who was very wary of new people. Monique took the time — even coming by on her own free time — to slowly build trust and establish a relationship with her before starting regular drop-ins.  Her patience and compassion made all the difference. Lucy absolutely loves her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing all our pets are safe and cared for when I’m away. I’m so grateful to have found Monique. She’s such a genuine, reliable, and kind person who truly cares for our animals. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Monique Mego has been walking our German Shepherd, Indie, for the past three years anytime we are out of town, and we couldn’t be happier with her care and dedication. From the very beginning, Monique has been dependable, professional, and incredibly responsive. She’s always prompt in answering any questions and makes scheduling easy and stress-free. Thanks to Monique’s calm and confident approach, Indie has become much more relaxed and well-behaved on walks. It’s clear that Monique truly understands dogs—Indie absolutely adores her time with her! We also love the daily updates and photos that Monique sends after each walk. It’s such a thoughtful touch and always brightens our day to see Indie happy and enjoying her adventures. We’re so grateful to have Monique as part of Indie’s life and couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for your dog and goes above and beyond, Monique is the one! For walks when you can't,  or pet-sitting when you are out of town, definitely make Monique your first call.
