Active sitter, flexible schedule!
Pet care experience
Growing up in a household of animal lovers, I have had the pleasure of caring for animals most of my life. My 3 sisters all have furbabies (both dogs and cats), and I frequently care for them, as my schedule is more flexible. They have been able to rely on me for walking, feeding, over-nights, and most importantly giving all the necessary love and affection! One of my sisters has a beautiful Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. She is over 120lbs and I have no issues with walking her. She unfortunately has some medical challenges and is on a strict medication schedule, however, my sister feels confident and relaxed whenever I care for her. I have also cared for cats and puppies and had friends rely on me to take care of them while they were on vacations for days at a time. Your babies will always be cared for and loved just as if they were my own!
Reviews
Monika has helped care for Sophie, my Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix ever since she was a puppy. Due to Sophie’s ongoing medical issues, I can not leave her alone for extended periods of time. Monika has been great with walks, medication administration, feedings with all of her supplements, and overnights. She is able to lift Sophie (who is 125 pounds) in and out of the car. Whenever I have an event or have to be gone for more than a few hours, I can rely on Monika for support.
I’ve used Monika a couple of times for my 75lbs mixed breed rescue dog, Milo. I had her watch him overnight for x2 nights for my wedding/rehearsal dinner and she kept me at ease with updates and photos. My dog has a special diet (he’s a picky eater) and she kept up with that just fine. I’ve also used her for walks a couple of times which she was great for. I’ve recommended her to family, she’s trustworthy with your animals. My dog is like a child to me so it means a lot that I trust her!
Hello, I got referred to Monika via a friend a few years back and entrusted her to care for my cats (Cookie and Candy) while I was travelling abroad for 3 months. I had constant communication with Monika and received update for Cookie and Candy daily. She was very detail orientated and asked many good questions with regard to their favorite treats, frequency of treats, preferred caring strategy (Cookie likes to play but Candy likes to be left along), etc. I could tell that my cats loved her instantly in our interview. She knows how to care for both cats and dogs as she told me that she had them growing up, and you could tell that she genuinely care for them and treat them as her own. Although I have not had need for her since, I always know in the back of my mind that if I ever do need someone to care for my cats, she will be my first choice. I hope this is helpful and I am certain that given the opportunity she will be great.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a courtyard. I also have tons of wonderful parks nearby for walking and enjoying the outside air, such as Donaldson Park, Boyd Park, and Rutgers Gardens. I currently do not have any pets living in my apartment, so I can host cats, small dogs, and other animals. I will only host your animals during their stay to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Aside from pet sitting, I also have 10+ years of experience with babysitting and worked in the public school setting as an educational assistant and substitute teacher for 5 years. I am very loving, reliable, adaptable, and I have no doubt in my mind that your animal babies will feel safe and have fun with me :)
