Monkey

 

The inspiration for Staycation Pet Sitting Service comes from Samantha’s beloved cat Monkey. Monkey has a history of urinary tract disease and needs at home care when Samantha goes on vacation. That is when Samantha realized that more animals with medical conditions like Monkey need to be cared for in the comfort of their own home while their owner is away.

​

Monkey now enjoys doing yoga, cuddling with Samantha, and sunbathing. Monkey does not offer pet sitting services as of now. Samantha hopes to train Monkey to be more productive and help with paperwork instead of laying on it, and sleeping on the job.
