Availability
I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them.

About Monika H.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

Information Monika H. would like to know about your pet
Please feel free to share any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best possible care for your pet. Whether it’s a preferred feeding schedule, walk times, or little quirks and habits that help your dog feel safe and comfortable, I’m happy to adjust my routine to help them feel right at home while you’re away. I do kindly ask that if your pup is not yet fully house trained, you let me know in advance so I can be extra mindful and make sure they get frequent walks and outdoor breaks to help avoid any accidents. Open communication helps ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for both you and your pet!
A typical day
I will follow the same routine and activities I have in place for my own dogs, unless you advise otherwise. I’m happy to adjust as needed to suit your dog’s preferences and needs. Walks My dogs typically go on three walks a day—morning, afternoon, and evening. The morning and evening walks tend to be the longest, depending on the weather and how long they want to be out. In between walks, they have access to the yard as often as they like. I maintain a consistent walking schedule to support house training and help avoid accidents. Play Time Play is a big part of our day! My dogs love barking freely at squirrels, geese, and anything else that catches their attention. They have access to a large yard with a pond where they can run and explore. We have plenty of toys and space to keep them active. My husband and I regularly play games like fetch and tug-of-war with our young puppy, while our senior dog prefers quiet cuddle time. Whatever your dog enjoys—active play or relaxation—we’ll happily adjust to make them feel at home. Additional Activities I also have a few interactive puzzle toys available, which can be a great way to provide extra mental stimulation and help your pup feel more relaxed and engaged.

A Friend When You’re Away
Pet care experience
Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve.
Reviews
monika was great with our Mia! she came home very happy. i got daily updates also with pictures.
Monika took excellent care of Diamond from the drop off to the pickup. Very attentive and it was evident that she literally loves dogs. Diamond enjoyed playing with her two dogs. Monika is a keeper for sure!
Monika is a wonderful care giver. She has been taking care of my dog Jake for a few years now. He is always well cared for and is excited to see Monika every time he visits. She spends time with him, goes for walks, and gives the attention he needs to feel comfortable and safe.
Monika has dogs and cats her whole life. You can see that she loves animals. She takes good care of them , she plays with them. Monika is a responsible and punctual person. I trusted her with my dog. I'd recomment her
