My name is Monika and I am the pack-leader and owner of Furever Us.
Life's a wild journey, and for me, it's been a whirlwind of knowledge-seeking and paw-some adventures in helping others. Armed with a collection of degrees in business, public relations, and counseling, I've always been eager to expand my horizons. As a therapist, I had the incredible opportunity to transform my furry sidekick into a therapy dog, spreading smiles and tail wags wherever we go. My heart beats for animal non-profits, and I've recently dived into the world of medical cases, lending a helping paw even in surgeries.
From the early days, I've cherished the magical bond we share with our four-legged friends, never being without at least one adorable furbaby by my side. So, it was only natural to include them in the most important day of our lives – our wedding. But boy, did I quickly learn that it's no walk in the park! With a few regrets and a wag of hindsight, I decided to create Furever Us. I saw the need for a specialized service that takes the stress out of including pets in weddings, making it a tail-waggingly joyful experience for couples.
Planning and executing weddings require skills as sharp as a dog's sense of smell – organization, attention to detail, teamwork, and a whole lot of dedication. These are skills I've honed over time, embracing challenges and seizing opportunities. My mission is to utilize my expertise to ensure that every couple's special day is an unforgettable celebration, filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.
Fun Fact About Me: I speak 5 languages fluently and have a PhD.

Meet our pawsome Furever Us team
My name is Rachel and I am one of the main handlers at Furever Us.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology. After graduation I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician. While saving humans lives, I also spent a lot of time working on saving animal lives. I have worked to save and protect multiple species of animals. Here in South Florida I volunteer for a number of different rescues. I have grown up around dogs so I am used to handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. So not only do I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, but also have extensive medical training. I am ready for any emergencies.

My name is Karissah and I am one of the main handlers at Furever Us.
I received my bachelor’s degree of biology and currently working at an animal clinic in West Palm Beach. My plan is to pursue my life long dream of becoming a veterinarian. I have always had a love for animals and spend all of my free time volunteering my time at my local animal shelters and rescue facilities. When I was 16 I received my first job working in the field of veterinary medicine where I gained my knowledge and overall love for the field. Throughout this experience I have had the pleasure of working with cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and even sea turtles through my universities research program.
Rescue medicine has not only given me my best friend but also shown me that every animal is different and some even have special needs that require a little more care. If I had to describe my perfect dog it would be one with a disability. There is no animal too big or too small when it comes to animals I really am just ready to help them all.
Fun fact: I am scuba certified and love exploring the ocean.
Fun Fact About Me: I love long boarding with my dog, love Starbucks and I am a vegetarian.

My name is Seda and I work behind the scenes.
I grew up in Turkey, where there is a huge cat population. I remember being just a young girl and learning about cat behavior and sicknesses. This later transferred to dogs as well and I used to help out local rescues.
When I moved to Miami this passion followed me and I immediately started volunteering with a local rescue called Good Karma Pet Rescue. Although I did not become a vet I always loved learning about animals. I currently work as a realtor to maintain my side hussle- fostering dogs and cats.
