Information Monika Z. would like to know about your pet

It is important that the dogs are house trained, play well with my dog and be kid friendly. They will have a a great time playing, running in the back yard together, swimming in the pool and wrestling with Finn.

A typical day

Playing in the yard, fetching, long walks multiple times a day. Giving lots of hugs and love when the owners are away. Swim in the pool, walk, sleep, relax.

Monika and her family took great care of our dog while we were on vacation for six days! It was so comforting knowing that she was made to feel part of the family and was able to relax when she needed to as she is an older dog. Will definitely use Monika in some capacity again going forward!!

Monika is a wonderful sitter with excellent communication skills. Rūmī enjoys Finn’s company and all the outdoor activities her home offers. I would continue to recommend Monika for all your dog sitting needs.
