Availability

I’m available for boarding drop-off and pick-up anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. My available weekends will be totally free so I can dedicate a lot of time to your pet! I like to bring dogs to larger parks for at least an hour or two on weekends weather permitting. During the week I work a day-job, but I can offer a nice walk in the morning before I go to work and I have plenty of free time after work! :) I like to guarantee at least 2 of combined exercise every day!

Information Monali Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and/of behaviors that I can account for. This includes things like anxiety, allergies, and reactivity.

A typical day

I love going to nearby parks to go on nice walks and play! We’ll explore the neighborhood smells and play a lot of catch! I also like driving to larger parks like Danehy park for even more space to let loose and run around :) I also have a ball launcher and keep a variety of treats on hand for mental stimulation and some basic training 🐾

Pet care experience

I have 6+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, from helping with my previous roommates’ pets to sitting for friends’ family pets. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have experience with kitten care and special diets (including managing healthy weight loss). I’ve also spent a lot of time learning about pet behavior, body language, and nutrition, and I’ve even trained my own cat to do tricks! I have a strict one client policy, so your pet(s) will have my full attention! I really value communication and know how important it is to feel updated and reassured while you’re away, so I’ll make sure to keep you in the loop. I’m patient, reliable, and always try to meet each critter where they are, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra time to warm up. I live near the Fells, with plenty of safe, walkable space nearby, so pets can get fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation. I also keep lots of yummy treats and snack like milk-bones, freeze dried meats and organs, and fruits/veggies! I genuinely enjoy spending time with our furry companions and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved :)

Monali is amazing and took good care of my dog Maple. She walked my dog, brought my dog to park, prepared lick matt with banana and peanut butter, even bathed my dog(my dog is 50lbs a d have double coat, so lots of lots of work). She is absolutely 💯 I can tell my dog loves her so much

Monali was very accommodating to our pup's needs and she clearly had a great time. Would definitely work with Monali again

Monali is a devoted pet parent who absolutely adores her cat, Jade. She talks at length about the painstaking care she puts into keeping Jade as healthy and happy as possible; from carefully selecting nutrient rich, high quality food, to staying on top of regular vet checkups, grooming routines, and enrichment activities that keep Jade mentally and physically engaged. She will absolutely be an asset to anybody looking for a safe caretaker for their pet!

Monali is the most thorough pet caretaker I've seen. For her own cat, I've seen her raised since she was a kitty, and she is the healthiest cat I've seen. Not only are her nutritional values tracked and monitored, but she is also mentally engaged and incredibly well trained. I've also seen her care for other's cats. She began caring for one who was not healthy, overweight with greasy and matty fur, and disengaged with the world. Through a combination of healthy feeding, constant care, and active work by Monali, this cat is now healthier than I've ever seen him. He's lost significant weight and is now looking very healthy, jumping and active again, and his fur has completely reverted to a normal state. For anyone looking for a good caretaker, for cats or anything else, Monali would be who I recommend first before anyone else.
