My
name is Monika. I was born and raised in the
small town of Abony, Hungary. My passion for
animals began very early in life. As a child
I ‘collected’ all the stray cats
and dogs that could be found in or around
Abony. Every time I came home with a new animal,
my mother argued that we already had too many
cats and dogs. Somehow I always won out and
we’d take in one more pet.
Later, I studied commerce, accounting, and
business. Upon graduation, I wasn’t
ready to enter the business world and traveled
to Germany and England to study their languages.
During that time, I dreamed of seeing more
of the world – places like Africa, Asia,
and Australia. I searched for an occupation
that would allow me to do this and finally
settled on photography. Royal Caribbean Cruise
Lines hired me and the next two years were
the most exciting time of my life. I sailed
all around the world and visited more places
than I had ever imagined. There was just one
thing missing - I couldn’t keep pets.
At the beginning of my travels, I had met
Jeff, a very handsome and intelligent boy.
He also traveled extensively with his work
and we kept meeting up in every corner of
the world, from Miami to Alaska to Venice
to Singapore! After two years, we decided
to get married and settle down in Jeff’s
home in South Florida.
For two years I managed the office of a
beachfront hotel while studying such diverse
subjects as Spanish and French language,
website design and authoring, computer graphics
and digital video editing. It was also great
to be able to help a neighboring elderly
couple take care of their dog. In January
of 2005, the hotel owners informed they
were closing the hotel and offered me a
sales position with the high-rise condominium
that would take its place. I had a decision
to make.
I wanted a job that I really enjoyed -
a job that would allow me to work with animals.
With my husband’s encouragement, I
started a dog walking and pet sitting business.
In April of 2005, we moved to East Hollywood
where I committed myself to specialized
service in the East Hollywood, Aventura,
and Dania Beach area. I continue my studies,
now focusing on dog health, nutrition, and
behavior. If you need a caring and reliable
pet sitter or dog walker, I would be happy
to assist you.
