Hillsborough Animal Lover Opens Dog Walking, Pet Sitting Business

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Monika Rynkowski has always owned dogs and been a lover of animals. Tired of working in the corporate world she made the jump to open up her first business, It’s Pawty Time in Hillsborough.

"I was not happy sitting in a box from 9 to 5," Rynkowski said. "I was always passionate about animals and worked at SAVE Animal Shelter part time and loved it. So I decided to start my business and be happier with my job."

Working at the animal shelter in Montgomery, Rynkowski has experience working with pets, giving baths and medicine. She also owns two Cavapoos. So the jump to servicing pets was not hard.

Rynkowski launched It’s Pawty Time on Oct. 1 and has her business fully bonded and insured. She services pets in Hillsborough and the surrounding areas including Montgomery, Skillman, Belle Mead, Manville, Bridgewater and more.

Services include dog walking and in-home pet sitting, which is charged based on the time needed versus the service.

"Whether it's 15 minutes to let the dog out or if going you are going on a vacation or just want someone to spend the entire day with a dog or cat, clients can customize the services for their needs," Rynkowski said.

Other services include shopping to pick up pet's food, treats, toys, or medication; baths; and medication administration. All of the services are done out of the clients’ homes.
