Pet care experience
Big Heart for Small Paws
Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and growing up surrounded by them has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of their behavior, energy levels, and individual needs. From playful puppies to calm seniors, I’m comfortable adapting my care to suit each dog’s personality and routine. As a dog sitter, my goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience so your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer attentive, structured care that includes daily walks (at least 2/3 per day), with one longer outing of 45–60 minutes to ensure proper exercise and mental stimulation. I’m fortunate to live right next to a large park, which provides plenty of green space for walks, playtime, and enrichment in a safe, natural environment. Because I live in an apartment without a private yard, I place extra emphasis on outdoor time, engaging indoor play, and frequent potty breaks. Activities can include interactive games, basic reinforcement of training (if desired), calm companionship, and maintaining your dog’s usual feeding and rest schedule. My priority is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In terms of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments over the years. This includes managing high-energy dogs that need lots of stimulation, as well as providing gentle, patient care for older or more anxious dogs. I’m attentive to behavioral cues and always aim to create a calm, positive environment. I am currently in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available most of the day. This allows me to provide constant supervision, regular interaction, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. To ensure a safe and healthy environment for every dog in my care, I only accept fully vaccinated pets. I take my responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, reliability, and genuine care—so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Ratings and reviews
Onze hond is met open armen ontvangen en heeft een top tijd gehad. Bij het ophalen twijfelde hij een paar seconden of hij zijn nieuwe baasje niet wou verlaten. Gelukkig was dit binnen een minuut weer oke.
Benedita was amazing with Rocky, it showed that she has a very big love for dogs and Rocky was very happy and felt like home since the begging.
We were really happy with our experience with Benedita. We got plenty of updates, which we really appreciated, and our dog settled in so well. It was obvious he was very well cared for and happy there. Would definitely recommend!
Benedita was great. Super reliable, on time, communicative and it seems like Ellie had a wonderful time too. Would definitely recommend.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, as I’m currently in between jobs and have a highly flexible schedule. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to each pet in my care without distractions or time constraints. My days are easily structured around the needs of the pets I’m looking after. For dogs, this includes multiple daily walks—taking full advantage of the large park right next to my home—as well as feeding, playtime, and rest. For cats, I ensure regular feeding, litter box maintenance, and spend quality time engaging in play or providing calm companionship, depending on their personality. Because I’m not tied to a fixed work schedule, I can adapt my routine to match each pet’s usual habits as closely as possible. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day and ensure that no pet is left alone for extended periods.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home. My approach is always guided by the pet’s usual routine, personality, and specific needs. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly space that is especially well-suited for indoor cats and dogs that are comfortable in an apartment setting. I pay close attention to safety by removing any hazards, supervising interactions at all times, and ensuring pets have a quiet area where they can rest undisturbed. For dogs, I make sure they get regular outdoor time, including multiple daily walks in the nearby park for instance. For cats, I maintain a low-stress environment with consistent feeding, clean litter boxes, and plenty of space to relax or play. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect both the space and the established routine. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to walking routes—and aim to keep everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I’m attentive to details like securing doors, monitoring behavior, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Across both settings, I prioritize trust, communication, and safety. I only accept vaccinated pets and take the time to understand each animal’s habits, boundaries, and preferences. My goal is always to ensure pets feel secure and cared for, and that owners feel confident knowing their home and pet are in responsible hands.
A typical day
A typical day is centered around keeping pets happy, comfortable, and engaged while maintaining their usual routine as much as possible. For dogs, the day usually starts with a morning walk, followed by feeding and some relaxed time at home. Throughout the day, I include at least two more walks, with one longer outing (45–60 minutes) in the large park right next to my home. These walks aren’t just for exercise—they’re also great for mental stimulation, exploring new scents, and enjoying the outdoors. At home, I incorporate playtime with toys, light training or reinforcement (if appropriate), and plenty of attention and companionship. For cats, the day is a bit more relaxed and tailored to their personality. I make sure feeding times are consistent, the litter box is always clean, and they have fresh water. Activities can include interactive play sessions, playing with toys, or simply spending calm, quiet time together. I always let the cat take the lead when it comes to interaction, so they feel safe and respected. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets continuous attention, whether that’s active play or just being a comforting presence nearby. My goal is to create a balanced day that includes exercise, stimulation, and plenty of rest—so every pet feels content and at ease.
