Fun, loving, and responsible sitter

Pet care experience

I always had dogs (medium size) 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 5 years mostly for medium and small dogs when they are away/out of town. I just have found out about Rover in 2023.

Benja is very responsive in her communications, and has been a diligent and attentive caregiver for our dog. For instance, she had thought to ask me where we had a towel before coming over to walk our dog on a day that was supposed to rain. I was in a meeting and didn't see her message before the scheduled walk time, so she brought her own towel from her own home to be sure she could dry our dog off after his walk. She has been a pleasure to work with!

Benja is an amazing, patient and kind pet caregiver! My Oliver has the best experience when in her care and is always excited to see her!

Safety, trust & environment

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. I will be transparent and I can only take up to 3 small dogs at once and up to 2 medium dogs.

I'm working from home on my own small business so my schedule is flexible to provide drop-in visits, walks and boardings with your pups either on daily/weekly routine basis or on your special occasions. I can take up to 3 small dogs at once and up to 2 medium dogs for drop-in visits and walks. I can only take one small or medium dog at a time for boarding because my husband and I have a medium dog at home. We live in a townhouse surrounding by many traits and a dog park.
