Pet Sitting Benclare

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, building trusted relationships through reliability, patience, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner for most of my life. My current fur babies include 2 dogs and a cat, so I know the attention and care needed. I have helped friends and family with their dogs over the years as well with day visits and over night stays. I currently work PRN as a nurse and typically only work a couple days out of the week, which allows me the time to do this! I prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific household rules.

About: I have lots of experience with taking care of both cats and dogs and have been taking care of them for most of my life. I currently am a foster through the humane society and specialize in kittens and dogs. I have lots of experience in all life stages and understand the complexity that comes with each stage. I have a fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to play in and work from home which allows me to spend extra time with them. I currently work from home which allows me the flexibility of creating my own schedule. I am able to fit in pet care whenever throughout the week and I am able to plan accordingly around my work. I currently have a fenced in back yard that will allow the dogs to run freely without being on a lead. For my older cat clients I offer a litter box upstairs which would eliminate them from going up and down stairs as frequently. I also take my safety seriously and when walking dogs always have my cell phone readily available as well as leashed walks always.

About: Hi, my name is Ana! I truly believe your pet deserves to be cared for like they are part of the family. I have two dogs of my own, Ziggy and Porky, who love dogs of all sizes and even cats! They are always ready to make a new friend and have some fun. If your pet is older, more independent, or simply isn't interested in playing with other dogs, that's completely okay! Ziggy and Porky are great about giving dogs their space when they need it. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while still getting the exercise, attention, and activity that's appropriate for them. My goal is for your pet to feel at home, have fun, and receive the same patience and care I would want for my own dogs. My availability: I work 3 12 hour shifts a week I can come let your dog out and/or go for a walk, before work and after. Drop in visits: Walks: any time House sitting: any time Boarding: any time must have dog crate Ziggy, porky, and I frequently go on walks to different parks. We travel quite frequently and are always checking different areas out. If you have a preferred area we go that’s ok!

“Kari was wonderful. Kitty enjoyed seeing and playing with Kari. It was very comforting to see the daily pictures of kitty having a good time, just knowing she was in good hands helped make my vacation easier to enjoy.”

“Josie was a absolute help during our trip out of town. This is first time using this app in years and was a bit apprehensive ,but Josie demonstrated a strong line of communication and our family started to feel better about choosing her. Ultimately her punctuality, attention to detail and ability to follow instructions as requested easily relinquished our concerns of trusting a stranger with our fur babies. We received photos during the visit and watched through our cameras,both Potata and núðla were having a blast like they and Josie have been long forgotten separated friends . We are confident if you have any apprehension about your choice of animal care. You won't be dissatisfied with Josie's service .”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a house with a backyard where I can comfortably host pets and provide a safe, welcoming environment. Dogs have the freedom to enjoy the backyard throughout their stay, giving them space to play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’m also able to provide walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m flexible and always prioritize clear communication with owners to ensure their pets receive the care they need.

“Mikayla was so great with our cats, even when they got into trouble and made a mess. She sent us great photos and I'm confident that our cats were well cared for while we were gone!”

“Zach did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties and mice! Though he didn't have a lot of experience with mice, he jumped right in and was ready to learn! He was reliable and even came back over when my lock wasn't working correctly to make sure my animals weren't alone! Thank you!”
