Curator who loves animals

I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up we had a veritable petting zoo of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. I’ve helped watch pets for neighbors, and family members for years. During graduate school in the UK I regularly used the app Pawshake to pet sit, and dog walk.

Would book again! Thank you so much! Booked kinda last minute and then our schedule charged, but Benedicte was super flexible and accommodating.

Benedicte took great care of our cats. They got food, pets, and litter box cleaning every day and we came home to happy cats. She also did a great job communicating with me during the booking request even though she was out of town and hit intermittent internet access.

Benedicte was great! All directions were followed and my cat Link, who can be pretty wary of new people, seemed to warm up to her quite a bit. Thank you!

Benedicte responded quickly and was able to stop by on short notice. Our timid kitties (who usually hide when a new person comes over) warmed up to her and seemed to love her visit! Her service provided wonderful peace of mind.

Schedule

I currently work full time, in office. I can easily drop in for visits or walks before and after work, and I love being able to watch pets after work and on the weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a nice, clean home with a large fenced in backyard. I also live right next to several parks which makes walking easy and fun. We were raised with dogs in the house, so it’s very animal/dog friendly. I’m a very clean, calm person. I’ve watched pets for many families in their own homes, and am happy to work from anywhere.

Pets

A typical day

I love walking and being outdoors. There are several parks near my house where we can go on walks, and play on the field. I also love curling up with a book or a movie, to sit and spend time cuddled up with your pets.

Benedicte can host up to 2 pets per night
I have a cat, and then a rabbit and hedgehog who are both in enclosures. So it’s important to know if your dog can get along with other animals.
