Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs!!!

I remember growing up having dogs since I was a little girl. When I was about 10 I got my very own puppy for my birthday and I was so excited! We did everything together and had so much fun! I took good care of her and watched her grow up. When I was 18 I went away to college and I missed my girl so much! I got married shortly after that and we got our first dog together after we had four children. We have had multiple dogs since then and they have always been a big part of our family. We recently had to say goodbye to our elderly Weimaraner that we rescued 13 years ago when she was about 2 years old. Letting them go is definitely the hardest part of having a dog. Before we get a new dog to join our family, I decided to take care of other people’s dogs and give them the love that I love to give. Dogs truly give me a lot of joy and make me smile! They are simply the best!!

Benita did a fantastic job with Sage - she showed her a lot of love and made sure she was able to play. She provided lots of updates so we felt very in touch. Thanks Benita!

Benita watched our 2 little guys for a week. We will be using her again and again! She is calm, sweet, loves animals and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. She has THE BEST energy. She walked them daily, played fetch in her beautiful back yard, and gave them lots of loves. They were happy pups in her care. 100 stars!!!!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 19, 2026

Benita was fantastic to work with, this was the first time I had ever used a day care service for my two reactive pups and she made me feel totally comfortable leaving them with her. Benita sent check ins and photos throughout the day which totally left me at ease, I have 2 tired pups now! I couldn’t have asked for better.

Benita is the BEST. Today was my first time using rover and she helped me feel like Penny was one of her own! I loved the daily updates and I can tell Penny had the best day ever with her!

We had an amazing experience with Benita! She took incredible care of our dog, sent regular updates, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, fenced-in back yard with a large doggie door for easy access for them to come back in. I love taking dogs on walks, playing ball in the backyard with them, and snuggling with them. I love giving them the love they give to us!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks to the park close by and around our quiet neighborhood. I also enjoy playing ball with them in our fenced-in backyard and snuggling with them.

I would like to know ahead of time if the dog has separation anxiety, if he’s potty trained, does okay with other dogs, if he barks a lot, and where he usually sleeps.
