ABOUT THE OWNER
Hello, my name is Monica Birko and I am the founder of The Pawffice. Ever since I was little, I have had a special love for animals. I received a Bachelors of Science in Biology to pursue my goal of being a veterinarian. I moved to Ohio to go to grad school, but I ended up getting married and moving to Germany. When I returned home to the states I became involved with a local dog rescue. I have fostered and cared for over 70 dogs, puppies, and cats over the past 10 years, many of which had behavioral and health issues. In late 2015 I decided that working for the rescue was not enough and decided to open up The Pawffice to spend with animals and doing what I love.

TESTIMONIALS
Colleen Abate
I highly recommend Monica to care for your dogs. She treats them like they are her own. I never worry about them and know they are probably relaxing on her deck, running in her beautifully fenced in yard or taking a nap on the couch. She even lets them sleep in her bed! It's as close to home as possible. Great care and attention.
Nicole Slaby
Monica is very reliable and trustworthy. She is awesome with our 3 pits and they love her. She is flexible with whatever schedule is needed and keeps us updated while we are out of town. We are very pleased with her and are happy to recommend her to our family and friends.
Shawne Tagliarina
There is no better person to care for your pets than Monica!! We have entrusted her for the last 15 years to care for our three dogs when we have traveled, or anytime we were in a bind and needed her on short notice. She's extremely reliable, caring, compassionate and experienced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Maria Podogil

We have known Monica for ten years and wholeheartedly recommend her and The Pawffice. She is phenomenal and demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all of the animals she comes in contact with. She is not only an exceptional caretaker and trainer, but is also reliable, efficient and devoted. She works around our schedules even on short notice. In addition, her rates are very reasonable. In fact, I think she should charge more given the quality of service she provides. Lastly, we trust her immensely and without hesitation and even has the code for our security system.

We moved to a new area about 2 years ago. With that we lost our tong time dog walker that our Newfie loved so much. Fast forward a year and another Newfie later, we started a search for a new dog walker. With the expectation that we would never find someone as great as before. We got several recommendations to speak with Monica. We are truly grateful to have found her. Our pups and cats absolutely love her and the daily pics of the kids she sends brightens up our work day.

Monica Birko is amazing! She has been walking and boarding our dog Brody for almost four years and she loves and cares for him like he is her own. She is extremely reliable and also makes herself available at a moments notice. Monica fostered our cat before we adopted him and nursed the entire litter back to health, and she still checks on him every time she is over and has watched him for us as well when we are away. She is a true animal lover and advocate and I can't imagine someone that would do a better job with your pet!

Monica Birko has been working with our dogs for over 15 years. She has taken them for walks and watched them at her home and ours when we are on vacation. We trust her implicitly! All of our fur babies love her and are so happy to see her. She cared for our "kids" as if they were her own. She is there for us in a crisis to help us as well-- if something crazy happens she is there to help us out-- no matter what time of the day or night. When our dog "escapes" on occasion she is there to help us walk the neighborhood. I highly recommend Monica and her services. I would not think of using anyone else, she goes above and beyond for us and our pups!
Erin McCullar
My husband and I love to travel and can always count on Monica to watch our dogs while we are away. She goes above and beyond for them and is very good about sending pictures and updates from her visits. She is very reliable and I know that they are in great hands with her.
Suzanne Horrigan
Monica has been walking Katie since she was a puppy!! She is very reliable and her flexibility with my schedule changes is awesome. I can always count on her! Katie loves giving her doggy kisses and looks forward to her walks!! I highly recommend.
Amy Clawson
We are so relieved to have Monica watch our fur babies! We love her photos and notes during her visits. We know our pups are safe and well cared for when we are gone. She's the best!
