Hi, I’m Monique, founder of Saturday Paw Club.

I help pets feel safe, understood, and balanced while giving their owners peace of mind and confidence in the care they receive.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience in animal hospitals, dog walking, and behavior-based care, I’ve worked with a wide range of pets—from high-energy dogs to shy cats and senior companions who need extra patience and attention.

Over time, I began to notice that many pets weren’t just in need of care—they needed structure, guidance, and someone who could understand their behavior and emotional needs. Many owners were doing their best but felt overwhelmed, unsure, or frustrated trying to manage everyday challenges.

That’s where my approach is different. I don’t just provide pet care—I help create calm, structured experiences that support your pet’s emotional and physical wellbeing. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting your cat, or working with your puppy, I pay attention to behavior, routine, and subtle changes that others might miss.

I help reduce stress, prevent common behavior issues, and create a more balanced experience for both pets and their owners.

This work is deeply personal to me. I understand that pets are family, and I approach every visit with patience, respect, and intention—caring for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for my own.

I help dogs experience calm, structured walks that support both their physical and mental wellbeing. Many dogs—especially in busy or high-traffic areas—can become overstimulated, pull on leash, or have difficulty settling after a walk.

During each 30-minute visit, I focus on quality over speed. I help guide your dog through a balanced walk that includes steady movement, gentle engagement, and consistent structure so they can stay more focused and relaxed throughout the experience.

While these are not enrichment-heavy sessions, I incorporate light engagement such as pace changes, simple focus exercises, and guided exploration to help your dog stay connected and mentally present during the walk.

The goal is not just exercise, but to help your dog return home feeling calmer, more settled, and better balanced.

This service is ideal for dogs who benefit from structure, routine, and a more thoughtful approach to their daily walks.

Creating calm, confident dogs starts with clear guidance. I offer two personalized training pathways—each designed to give you real solutions.

Puppy Foundations Program

For puppies 8 weeks to 1.5 years, we build confidence through socialization, handling, early impulse control, and basic obedience. Sessions are $165/hour, with about 6–8 sessions recommended. Need extra support down the line? Refresher sessions are available—$75 for 30–45 minutes (phone, virtual, or in person).

Adult Dog Solutions Program

For dogs 1.5 years and up, I provide solutions for reactivity, leash pulling, and impulsive behaviors. We focus on confidence in triggering environments, leash desensitization, and leadership strategies at home. Sessions are $165/hour, typically 6–10 sessions. Refresher sessions anytime—$75 for 30–45 minutes.

Creating a calm, well-mannered dog starts with clear guidance and consistent support. If you’re ready to feel more confident and see real progress in your dog’s behavior, I’d love to work with you.
