Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, routines, and stress levels. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow feeding instructions, walking routines, medication needs, and household rules. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces, keep environments clean, and provide regular updates and photos during visits or walks. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners.

Information Monika B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any details that you think are needed for me to take better care of your pets. I’m attentive to routines, medications, behavioral needs, and special instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for shy, anxious, senior, or sensitive pets with patience and consistency.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality — from playtime and enrichment games to relaxed companionship, cuddles, walks, and calm quality time that helps them feel safe.

Reliable, experienced cat care

Cat care experience

Hi! I’m Monika, a lifelong animal lover, experienced cat owner, and reliable pet caregiver based in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. For the past two years I’ve been raising my British Shorthair cat, Xerneas, and I understand how important it is to find someone genuinely caring to look after your cats. I also had a cat for 13 years when I was a teenager, so I've had quite a bit of cat care experience. I’m available for cat sitting, drop-in visits, and companionship. I’m very attentive to animals’ personalities, comfort levels, routines, and body language. I always try to create a calm and safe environment for your cats. As a bonus, I also have a background in photography and would be happy to take cute photos of your cats upon request. Additionally, I’ve leash-trained my own cat Xerneas and can offer guidance for cat owners interested in introducing their cats to a harness or outdoor walks. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal! And I’ll always treat your cat with the same care and attention I give my own.

We couldn't be happier with Monika. She is incredibly conscientious, reliable, and thoughtful. She followed our somewhat complicated feeding instructions perfectly and so we came home to healthy cats. She was even able to snap a few pics of our terribly shy cats who always hides from sitters. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitter. She is truly exceptional.

Monika was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and caring with my cat while I was away. She sent lots of detailed updates and so many photos during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely book with Monika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely sweet :)
