Benita is reliable and always so communicative! It is wonderful to have someone who we can trust to take care of our animals, especially my puppy who needs medication administrred twice daily.

We have used Benita for 3 trips and she has done a great job! Very responsive and communicative through the app. She was able to successfully give our very anxious cat medicine every other day. If there were any issues she made sure to let us know. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter.

Benita did a wonderful job and I could tell our pets loved her. They were even more spoiled than usual! Benita was very communicative and sent pictures daily. We will definitely have Benita again!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not have a pet. I can adhere to your pets specific routine and preferences. Your pet would get one-on-one interaction to ensure they feel safe and happy.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch starts with potty and then I make sure they’re fed and have fresh water. I always check in on how they're doing, providing lots of affection, playtime, and attention. If they have toys they enjoy, we’ll play fetch, tug-of-war, or engage in activities that keep them mentally stimulated. Throughout the day, I ensure the pets are comfortable and safe, whether it’s curling up with them for a cuddle or giving them space if they prefer some quiet time. For high-energy pets, we’ll have another walk or more playtime in the afternoon, maybe even a trip to a nearby dog park if allowed. I like to make the day fun by incorporating a variety of activities based on the pet’s needs and personality, such as exploring new trails, practicing tricks, or just giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to ensure they feel happy, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away

Before taking care of a pet, it’s crucial for me to know about their personality, routines, and any special requirements so in most cases I require a meet-and-greet. Some of the key things I like to ask are: Medical needs: Does the pet have any health conditions, allergies, or medications they need? Knowing this helps me be prepared to provide proper care and handle emergencies if they arise. Behavioral traits: Is the pet shy, energetic, or nervous around new people? Understanding their temperament helps me approach them in a way that makes them feel comfortable and safe. Feeding schedule and diet: It’s important to know when and how much they should be fed, as well as any dietary restrictions to avoid any issues. Exercise and activity preferences: How much exercise does the pet usually get, and what are their favorite activities? This helps me tailor the day to their needs, whether they love long walks, playtime, or more relaxed downtime. Interaction with other animals: Is the pet friendly with other dogs, or should I avoid places where we might encounter other animals? This ensures I can plan walks and activities that suit their social preferences. Routine and habits: Are there any routines they are used to, like sleeping in a specific spot or going outside at certain times? Sticking to their routine helps them feel at ease while their owner is away
