I'd love to hang out with your dog!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Monika, I'm a freelance graphic designer who works from home! I have a dog of my own, Ophelia, who I spend plenty of time with. I know what's it like to need a dog sitter or any form of care for your dog that you can trust, and that understands the needs of dogs! I absolutely adore dogs, I always have, and I want to make sure they're always taken care of. I've been dog sitting since I was in high school, and have always enjoyed it! I'll make sure to give your pet plenty of attention and time to play and plenty of love while you're away! Because I work from home I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule which allows me to give some time to care for these dogs!

Monika and her husband took very good care of Bagel. They were polite and kept me up to date, and their dog ophi was a sweetie too. They have a very centrally located home and a huge back yard for the dogs to run!

Clara had such a great time with Monika! Monika was attentive and fast at communication. Clara was able to go to the dog park during her stay with Monika and played so well with Monika's pup.

Having our dog go to Monika for an extended stay worked out well. She is an attentive and caring dog sitter and and her dog Ophelia is sweet and gentle. She was also conscientious, flexible and easy to communicate with and I would recommend her. I also love the photos she posted of our little furry guy. Thank you, Monika!

Monika was a fantastic sitter, super attentive very flexible and made our dog feel at home. Her dog Ophelia was very sweet and got along really well with our dog. For the first time ever it seemed like Oscar didn't want to go home, he and Ophelia continued to play even after we got there. Thanks again to Monkia and her husband, it's great to know that your pet is well taken care of, it makes vacations a lot more relaxing. Al
