Availability

I am a full time Rover, so I am home a lot, but I do leave for dog walks and drop-ins, though I am usually not gone for more than 2 hours at a time. I am available for boarding, walking, and drop-ins, on a relatively flexible schedule. I am also offering sitter pick-ups and drop-offs as a boarding add-on.

Information Monika T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs, routines, how they are with other dogs, what they like and what they don't like. I want them to be as comfortable as possible!

A typical day

Wake up with wagging tails and run out in the yard, come in for some breakfast. Go back out for some more yard time or settle down on a comfy bed and enjoy some pets. We can play ball in the yard, cuddle on the couch, or window watch!

Care and Love While You're Away!

Pet care experience

Leaving your four legged loved ones at home when you go on vacation is never easy. I strive to make sure they feel cared for and loved while you are away so you don't need to worry! I have over 18 years experience caring for animals of my own, rescue fosters, and shelter animals, and caring for other's pets while they are away. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience with cats, dogs, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, and more. I have cats and dogs of my own currently. Whether you are looking for a dog walker, a drop-in pet sitter (dogs, cats, other), or a comfortable place to board your four-legged (or more or less) family members, I can be of service to you. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard, and a separate dedicated nicely sized bedroom dedicate to boarding small animals. Whether I'm housing your pets or visiting your home, my goal is always to make them as comfortable and as happy as possible!

Monika was super! Our cat, who was a recent stray and still adjusting to life as an indoor family pet, was well cared for and came home happy. Highly recommend.

So thankful Monika was available to take our sweet/energetic pup for a few walks while we had some unexpected shifts in our normal routine! She’s an awesome communicator, and I could tell right away by how my dog interacted with her at our meet & greet it would be a good fit ❤️ thank you so much and we look forward to having you back in the future!!

Monika is great! We look forward to booking her again in the future. We, and the cats, loved having Monika check in. The cats gave her rave reviews. They were so well cared for while we were away. Our older cat got the support and her medication that she needs. Our younger shy cat came each time she stopped in, and seemed to really enjoy her visits. Monika was great to send pictures and updates to us. We appreciate Monika and her reliable and outstanding cat care!

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.
