My husband and I work full time from home so my schedule is flexible to provide any services such as drop-in, walks, day care and boarding either on daily basis or on your special occasions. We have a dog (medium size) at home and we would like to ensure that we give lots of affection and playtime to your fur babies. We live in a townhouse surrounding by many traits and dog parks.

Our guest pups usually sleep alongside with our own dog in their individual beds, either in the basement or living room areas. Also, when providing drop-in visits, or dog walking services, I will not only be taking care of your dogs, but I will also take care of your home by taking a little extra time before I leave to ensure everything’s secure, and the dog has what they need before you come back.

Information Benja S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they get along with other pets and what may be a trigger for them? Are they crate trained and potty trained? Our guest pups usually sleep alongside with our own dog in their individual beds, either in the basement or living room areas. My husband and I have a medium sized border collie mixed, he is 5 years old, and he is very low maintenance and relaxed at home. He is friendly with people and dogs but he doesn’t really like to play much with other dogs. Please let me know if your pet has any food allergy, medications, or required any special attentions.

A typical day

We will play a bounce of games, check out all new smells in my neighborhood including to meet new friends at a dog park or a park. I usually walk pups 1-2 times a day depending on their energy level and home schedule.

Pet care experience

I always had dogs and cats growing up since I was 6. I've taken care of dogs (walking, feeding, bathing, and boarding) for my friends, neighbors and family for at least 6 years mostly for medium and small dogs when they are away/out of town.

Benja is an amazing and caring sitter. She sent me updates throughout and treated Buddy with care, love, attention and patience. And Ollie is so sweet and wonderful-he graciously shared his bed and toys. I highly recommend Benja and I’ll gladly trust my pup with her and her wonderful family again! Thank you!
