Information Monika K. would like to know about your pet

My beloved dog, Sara, stayed in Poland. I miss her so much. I wish she could come here soon. She was a very energetic like a Belgian Malinois dog

A typical day

My day starts at 5:30 a.m. I go to the gym. Afterward, I get the kids ready for school. When I'm home, I study English and write eBooks. I go to the gym with my clients several times a week because I'm training as a personal trainer.

Animal lover with experience❤️🐶 😻

Pet care experience

I love animals 🐾 and bring professional dog training and behavioral education experience from Poland, where I miss my own dog—that's why I'll shower your pet with care and expertise. As an active person, I enjoy walks, ball games, and frisbee sessions to keep your dog happy and engaged. A mom to two kids (10 and 12) raised around animals, I prioritize safe, child-friendly pets—please ensure yours isn't aggressive toward children.

Monika is a very responsive and attentive sitter. She sent us updates consistently everyday and even extended the booking when our return flight was canceled and delayed our return home. We highly recommend her services!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
