I've left Monika a review already but I have to leave another one, because this go around Monika went super above and beyond to take care of our cats. Our air conditioning broke (in July!!) while we were away and the house was climbing to super high temperatures with the cats inside. Monika was so so helpful and was troubleshooting the AC and even brought in our little unit from the garage which was very messy business. All to say, Monika is a great cat sitter, and I feel super lucky to have found her!

Our very first cat sitting experience was with Monika and it could not have been better. She accommodated our regular feeding times, and took photos and reported via text while she was still at the residence. She followed instructions exactly, and has a heart for shy kitties. My refrigerator started to leak while I was gone, so Monika cleaned up what she could, and reported it to the office at my residence, getting maintenance to fix it immediately. She went above and beyond!

Monika was so patient with our two cats that like to hide. She coaxed them into eating and the house was sparkling clean when we came back home. Thanks Monika!

Monika is my go-to cat sitter. She does a wonderful job with my kitty. In fact, when I arrive home after a trip and open the door, I swear, my cat gives me this "Oh, it's just you," look. There were flight cancellations and delays on my most recent trip, and I did not arrive home until the next evening. Monika continued to care for my kitty which gave me great peace of mind. I have left a prior review which you can check out. Here, I'll just say, five stars all the ***** !

I’ve been having some issues with my cat when I go away, but With Monika My kitty was responsive and calm. She kept in constant touch and provided great photos, reassuring me that she was in good hands.

Monika is amazing and took great care of my cats from the 20 year old who needed extra attention to the shy guy who hid in the closet. She sent great pics and updates and took really good care of my babies!

Monika is very responsive and made our reservation easy. We only had her booked for 1 day, but will absolutely book her again. Even our shy kitty came to say hello… what a good sign!!

Monika eases all my worries when she's caring for my fur babies! She sends updates every day and gets better pictures than I do!

Monika followed our directions purrfectly. We have one kitty with medical needs and she administered medications and updated us as to progress. We wouldn't hesitate recommend Monika and will continue to call on her when we need a caregiver for days away.

Monika was amazing! She sent tons of photos of my cats and even managed to befriend my shyest kitten. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!

Monica took good care of my cats, sent multiple pictures every day, and they obviously enjoyed her company.

Monika was outstanding and did an excellent job of taking care of our senior cat. She really cared about him and it showed. Timely visits twice a day. We hope she's available for any future travels we might have.

Monika always sends the best updates with great photos, and my kitties both really seem to love her! I love her attention to detail and careful care.

She gave great updates each day, even finding where our timid kitty was hiding to verify they were okay. We waited too long to book, so we worried we wouldn't be able to find someone for the holiday weekend, but Monika came through for us and we are greatful!

Monika was amazing! She sent so many wonderful pictures and reassured me about leaving my fur babies for a bit. She played with them, figured out a way to keep Moby from eating Lily’s food, and gave them lots of pets. Will definitely book her again.

First time with Monika. My kitty agreed, Monika was purrfect! Monika followed my detailed directions, sent great updates and pics, and gave my kitty lots of love. Having her cat sit seemed to be like a vacation for my kitty. I will definitely be calling upon Monika again!

We are so glad we chose Monika to watch our Kitty! She sent updates and photos daily, provided love and lots of brushes and treats. Our joy boy loved hanging out with her and we felt good knowing he was well cared for while we were all the way across the country.We could not have asked for a better experience with a cat sitter.

My longtime cat sitter was no longer available and I had to take the big step of finding someone new. I also have two new-ish kitties who have not been left with a sitter before. Monika was wonderful with them and even my shy baby came out from under the bed for interaction and pets. I will be very comfortable booking Monika in the future!

This was the first time using a cat sitter so we were nervous. Our cats are our babies and we wanted someone special to take care of them. Monika provided the best care we could ask for. She sent perfect pictures of the kitties. She even loved our love bug. We will use her next vacation if she is available.

Our 1st time with Meowtel and Monika. We have two cats. one cat has Asthma and needs an inhaler 2x a day. Monika spent two visits, with us present, to learn how to give inhaler, and to become familiar with the kitty, She was patient and gentle. We received pictures and updates 2x a day. By the third day our more reserved cat was rolling on the floor asking her for belly rubs! We will certianly schedule Monika next time we need a pet sitter.

Monika always takes such great care of our kitties, plants and desert tortoise. It's a lot to stay on top of but she handles everything with kindness and grace. She even spotted a wasp's nest we'd never noticed close to our toddler's play area, and promptly let us know about the issue. She's just super thorough and caring!

Monika took care of our (shy, outdoor) cat Aspen on late notice, over Spring break. She left pictures and daily updates, including photos of Aspen in various modes of skepticism. She was not deterred by the rural setting and occasionally rainy weather. While Aspen remained skeptical, Monika did manage to charm a family of local deer. Thanks, Monika.

my kitty is slow to warm up to people. Monika was patient and my kitty responded well to her and showed no stress upon my return. The litter tray was maintained well. I especially enjoyed the daily pictures and her encouraging comments. I will certainly ask Monika again.

Monika was great! I came back home and my cats were extremely relaxed. They both seemed to like her and they barely like me.

Monika is amazing! Sent pictures and shared details about my cats with every visit. Everything went smoothly and my cats even all came out to visit her within a short time. Definitely my only cat sitter from now on!!!

We have an elderly cat who probably wouldn't have survived another kennel stay. Monika was great with her, prompt in her visits and in sending photos and updates. Cat was healthy and happy during our vacation, all thanks to Monika!

Monika was great! She did everything as asked, sent photos and cleaned up a few cat messes. She reached out immediately after reservation was booked and was very communicative. Thank you, Monika! 🙏

Monika did a fantastic job putting my mind at ease taking care of my cat during my out-of-state trip. He is a good judge of character so when Monika sent me a picture of him sitting on her lap the second day, I knew he was in good hands. Monika followed my feeding instructions to the letter which I really appreciated. She sent me pictures each time she came over which I also really appreciated. I'll be utilizing Monika's services for future trips.

Our four felines loved Monica's excellent care, love and pets while we were away. Monica provided photos of the kitties everyday and did not hesitate to ask questions. We are so pleased with Monica's care of our kitties, we've hired her again! Highly recommend Monika!!

Monika definitely understands cats. She is an excellent and trustworthy sitter, was very communicative and takes great photos of the kitties in their element. I absolutely recommend her as a cat sitter and would book with her again.

Monika always keeps the needs of her charges top of mind and takes the time to really get to know and understand the particular quirks of the Dynamic Duo - two 5 year old kittie sisters. Conscientious and professional, I highly recommend her.

Monika has sat our 14-year-old cat several times over the past year, she is responsive, reliable, & super helpful plus she's sweet with our cat. Our pet & home are in great hands with Monika.

I’ve worked with Monika a few times now and my kitty loves her! I hate leaving my kitty but when I see a picture of her with a huge smile on her face I feel much better!

My kitty loved Monika, and she was very communicative with pictures and updates. Would highly recommend!

Monika is the best! This is our second time booking her, and she is incredibly responsive and takes great care of our babies. She provides lots of pictures which we love.

Monika moved his food to the bedroom so he would eat- it worked!

Monika is a wonderful cat sitter! She sent us frequent pictures and updates to let us know that the kitties were happy, left everything super tidy, took wonderful care of our desert tortoise, and has a green thumb to boot!

Monika is my "go to" cat sitter. She clearly loves cats, and based on my cat's reaction, they love her back. I am confident when I am away that my kitty is receiving excellent care. Monika is reliable, professional, follows my overly-detailed instrctions, and eaqually important-- always sends great pics!

Monika was great, especially with our shy kitty. She’s got a way with cats.

Monika was kind and calm with my boys, flexible and highly competent with the humans, and we would have her back in a heartbeat!

I was nervous to leave my cat Molly because she needs daily medication, has had a lot of stress in her life the past several months and she's quite shy with strangers. Monika was wonderful and put my mind at ease right away with her detailed updates. She was very patient and considerate of Molly's shyness, and by the last visit she achieved petting status with Molly! I will definitely be requesting Monika's help with Molly again in the future. Highly recommend!

Monika took great care of our cats! She played with them and gave them attention. We would love to have her again.

Monica is reliable, And since great photos. My cat responds really well to her.

Monika did a great job and made my time away so much easier knowing my furry buddy was in good hands!

Monika was amazing as usual taking care of my two very different cats. She was always quick to update and also responded fast too. I no longer need kitty cottages - I feel safer with Monika!

Monika did everything we hoped for and more. We were nervous giving a stranger access to our babies and our home but that was wasted energy because she was terrific. The pictures were daily and showed how much they liked her and it was very clear that she is a cat lover. I will call Monika the first thing when I need a catsitter again!

Monika is the best. I’m so glad I found her. I’m able to travel comfortably because of her, and her incredible caretaking. So grateful for her.

As a repeat customer, I’m always thrilled to hear how responsive my cat is to her and appreciate the peace of mind she provides me as I travel!

my cat LOVES Monika!

Our first time using Meowtel and I have to say Monika is AMAZING!

Monika is so good with my cats, sends pics every day and is so helpful!

My cat may like Monika more than me.

My cats love Monika! She went above and beyond with everything and gave the sweetest updates!

Once again, Monika provided tip top care and went the extra mile.

My cat and I love Monika. She's just the best companion, and I have great confidence in her services. Her updates and photos are always reassuring, and I know my cat is in the best hands. Very glad and grateful to have found her.

Monika is a fantastic caregiver and our favorite on the site! She very obviously loves cats and takes the most beautiful photos. Our boys love it when she comes over and love playing with her. We never have any worries when she is taking care of our boys and that sense of security is invaluable . HIGHLY RATED

Always great with Monika! Communicative, sweet, funny, with an impeccable green thumb. A great cat sitter to return to again and again :)

Monika is awesome.

Thank you again Monika for taking such good care of my kitty.

I always love working with Monika. She's very communicative, kind, and has a green thumb to boot.

Monika demonstrates a love and caring for our boys that we are so appreciative of. We never worry about them when they are in her care. 5 stars and would recommend to everyone!

Monika as always took great care of both of my kitties. thank you Monika!

Monika was awesome with my shy kitty and my picky kitty. Thank you Monika! I’d totally book again.

Monika is fantastic! Takes great care of our kitty while we are gone. Could not ask for better care.

Monika does a great job with Babycat, and he loves her. Thanks! It's great being able to leave and know he'll be taken care of!

Monika was terrific. She came in at the last minute over the holidays and knocked it out of the park. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

Babycat loves Monika!

Monika did a great job! Babycat loved her, and even though he tried, he couldn't slip outside!

Monika is a cat sitter in the Tucson area. Her profile has been verified and her references have been checked by Meowtel.
