Experienced Attentive Caring Sitter

Hello everyone! Please complete your entire pet profile honestly and with as much detail as you can. Tell me what your dog is really like so I know what to expect. I can then also assess if I could accept more than 1 booking at a time or give your dog special one on one attention. And please include picture. I have cared for pets since I was about 5 years old. I have owned and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life including cats, dogs, birds, turtles, hamsters, snakes, fish, and a rabbit. Have experience walking, feeding, cuddling and playing with pets. Fun loving and silly at all times! But I do take my job very seriously. I am aware that I am caring for a living being who deserves love and respect. I also understand that pets are considered a member of someone's family. I am also trained in Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross. * Please provide your pet with the following if boarding with me: Pet food Bowls for food & water Poop bags Cat litter Cat litter box Toys (if necessary) Bed (if necessary) Blanket (if necessary) Treats (if necessary) Brush (if necessary) Medication (if necessary) Doggie diapers (if necessary) Poop & pee pee pads (Please provide from experience I know that some dogs need to mark their territory and will pee or poop inside even if their house trained. Being in an unknown area can also cause nervousness.) *Please provide emergency contact (if possible)

House Sitting • Aug 27, 2026

We had a wonderful experience with our sitter Banessa! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of our cat, Tikhon. She stayed overnight every night as agreed and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages. It was clear from the photos that Tikhon was happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how responsible and caring she was and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!

Banessa was wonderful with my dog. She sent pictures and a video to show how much fun he was having with her. She took very good care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for quality pet sitting services.

Banessa was amazing! She sent pictures and updated me before the end of the day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Will definitely use her again.

Banessa is outstanding. She took amazing care of my baby, Cavior. She is adjustable and helpful in nature. She took my last min request and is very kind hearted. She checks all the boxes for a good caretaker. She simply went out of her way to take care of my dog's special needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very playful and loving with animals in general. I can provide a bath, extensive playtime, affection and exercise. Pets usually take a liking to me and the pet's health and safety are my priority. Have had no problems up to this point.

A typical day

I like to take dogs on long walks, running, play catch or frisbee and sometimes just curl up and cuddle. I usually like walking around my neighborhood, go to the park, or play in my buildings fenced yard. Having their favorite toy can also be helpful for playtime. Like to keep pets busy so that they don't miss their owners as much. Also helps them feel at home.

Dogs typical behavior, bathroom habits, sleep patterns, and diet are important things to know. What is your dog like around other dogs or cats? What are they like during walks? Has your dog ever showed signs of aggression? Does your dog pee and poop alot when they are nervous?
