About Monica

Hi :) I'm Monica - I'm 35, from California and I've been living in Germany for the past five years. One of my greatest passions is caring for animals. I grew up with pets and have worked in animal rescue centers throughout my life. I’m a freelance writer which allows me free time to look after some of the lovely pets of Berlin - the dream!

I offer home visits, dog walks, as well as pet day care and overnight boarding in my home. I can spend up to an hour with your pet on the home visits and dog walks, depending on what you need. If possible I can take your dog to nearby off-leash area for lots of play and exploring. Otherwise we can just go on a nice long walk around the neighborhood. For day care and overnight boarding, I am flexible to adopt a routine that suits your pet. A day with me can include a combination of outdoor exploring, indoor playtime with toys and tricks, and mellow chill-out time. My 2-room apartment is located in a quiet inner courtyard, half a block away from Gleisdreieck Park for easy access to outdoor space. I will be the primary caretaker but my animal-loving husband is always excited when we host a furry companion.

I have experience with all sorts of temperaments: shy, stubborn, young, old, rambunctious... I have seen it all and approach animals with patience and warmth. At the same time, I‘m a fun-loving person and will be sure to keep your pet entertained :) I speak basic German and am familiar with all the common English and German dog commands.

I look forward to meeting you and your pet and am of course flexible depending on your specific needs. So feel free to send a message with what you're looking for and we can take it from there, thanks!

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English & German
+10 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
  • On top of growing up with dogs and cats my whole life, I have also worked in an animal rescue and rehabilitation center with large and small breed dogs. I have experience walking, training, and general caretaking. I also have experience with various medical and behavioral challenges, so if you have a special case, we can chat about it.
  • I have also volunteered in wild animal rescue centers in Central and South America - but that was monkeys and birds, not dogs and cats :)
  • Bottom line is, I love to take care of animals.
