About Monika
I love animals and grew up surrounded by them. While I don't currently have a pet due to my love for traveling and the challenges of finding a reliable sitter, I've been caring for pets for over 6 years now, mostly for friends and family. My dear friend's dog, Chewie, a sweet Maltese/Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix, used to be one of my regulars until they moved to Singapore. I miss Chewie and would love to fill that void by helping others care for their beloved furry family members. Recently, I've been looking after a cat Alfie for 6 weeks. Although I've never had a cat before, we quickly formed a loving and trusting bond. Since then, I've looked after 2 dogs and 1 cat via Madpaws. The experiences were incredible. I genuinely enjoy getting to know new furry friends. I've formed loving bonds with them and discovered very strong connection I have not only with dogs but also with cats.

I reside in my 2-bedroom apartment in North Sydney, right across from St Leonards Park, which is dog-friendly. While I work full-time, I have the flexibility to work from home about 2 to 3 days a week. My office is also conveniently located in North Sydney, allowing me to bring dogs to work with me. Chewie used to enjoy zooming around the office and bonding with my colleagues.

I enjoy giving basic dog training as it fosters a strong bond. I enjoy long walks, beach outings, dog parks or simply relaxing on the couch while showering pets with love and attention.

I would be delighted to care for well-behaved small to mid-sized dogs and cats.

Monika was an amazing sitter. She showered Chonker with love during the fortnight, sending daily updates and videos throughout. We looked fwd to our daily dose of Chonk updates on our trip away knowing he was in good hands. She established trust quickly and spoilt him rotten, she asked lots of questions to establish normal or out of norm behaviours as they happened. Fully would recommend her!

I can’t speak highly enough of Monika, our pup Bon Bon was so well taken care of during his stay with her. We got daily updates + pictures, and communication with her is a breeze. Monika was very thorough during our introduction session and took the time to learn about Bon’s needs and character. She even planned a trip to the beach for him!

Monika is amazing, she is so loving and thorough. Our dog was so comfortable and wasn’t anxious at all with Monika. Additionally, she was very professional from our first conversation in organised for Berri to be at her place for the night and she sent updated photos during Berri’s stay. We will definitely rebook with Monika.
