Reviews
Monika is the absolute best! I feel so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She is reliable, attentive, and cares for my dog like he is her own. I have used Monika for walks and drops in. At times I even contacted her last minute to let him out, and she was there right away. She is constantly sending updates, and I know every time my dog is with her he is in great hands!
Monika has watched my dogs while I was away. She is very dependable and loves my dogs. One of my dogs needs meds and she didn't hesitate to watch him despite that. Always a great interaction with her , and my dogs love going with her too. She has really come through for me, even on short notice.
On quite a few occasions Monika has cared for our lovely dog Piper. Prior to discovering Monika, it was difficult to find someone to care for Piper because of her insecurities of being on a leash. After her first introduction to Piper, Monika had alleviated most of Pipers stress of walking on leash. Piper still has issues with others while on leash, but with Monika she is great. I would highly recommend Monika for her care, compassion, and overall concern for the care of our pet.
About Monika O.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I offer both dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, designed to keep your pets happy, active, and comfortable in their own environment. I treat each pet like my own and follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away.
Information Monika O. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for any pet, it’s important for me to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs. I always ask about feeding schedules, bathroom habits, walking preferences, medical conditions, allergies, and behavior around other animals or people. I also like to know if they have any triggers (like loud noises or separation anxiety), preferred toys or calming routines, and how they typically communicate when they need something. The more I know, the better I can provide consistent, safe, and stress-free care that feels just like home.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel engaged, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. For playful pups, I offer walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and lots of supervised playtime. For cuddle bugs, I provide plenty of cozy companionship, lap time, and gentle affection. Whether your pet is high-energy or more low-key, I make sure they’re stimulated, safe, and happy.

I work three days a week at my primary job, which gives me ample flexibility to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On my days off, I’m available for walks and/or drop-ins.
