"Relaxed, Loving Cat Care at Home!"

What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine care and attention to every detail of your cat's well-being. I have experience administering medications and ensuring your cat gets the care they need, whether they’re a playful kitten or a senior in need of extra support. I’m also passionate about maintaining a clean, stress-free environment, which includes deep-cleaning litter boxes to keep your home fresh and your cat happy. Your cat will receive love, attention, and the highest level of care, making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, fun, and comfortable environment that matches their routine. I offer adventure walks, hikes, and even skijoring for dogs trained to do so, ensuring they get plenty of outdoor excitement and exercise. From feeding and administering medications to walks and cat litter box maintenance, I handle every detail with care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved, while enjoying some outdoor fun during our time together!

Ben was absolutely fabulous. We went away for a few days and left our dog with my parents. Ben walked timber each day right on time and timber was worn out by their time together. Just what we were looking for. Thanks Ben, for taking good care of our boy.

Benjamin and Jaime did an absolutely wonderful job at caring for our two dogs while I was away. I could tell from the adorable photos that both our dogs were totally comfortable and happy spending time with them. The communication was superb and we will definitely be using Benjamin and Jaime again!

Benjamin was great! Fed my gecko while I was away on vacation. He followed all directions and communicated well. Also kept me up to date when he planned on feeding him.

Ben is really great with Tito! I was away and he always sent lots of pictures and let me know what was going on. I came home to everything in my house as it was when I left and Tito was nice and tired- he probably got more outdoor time with Ben than me! He obviously really loves dogs and cares for them as he does his own!!

Ben was great - very calm & kind with my rambunctious 11 month old lab, Skye. He took Skye for a nice, long walk and she came home nice & tired!

Ben took our dog on nice long walks and sent photos of her sniffing and exploring and enjoying the snow. I’m sure she was content when she was at home because of his good care and his commitment to exercising her well. The house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. We highly recommend Ben for petsitting.

Before caring for a pet, it's essential to gather important information to ensure their well-being and comfort. Here are some key details to know: 1. Dietary Needs: Understand their feeding schedule, preferred food, any allergies, and how much they should be fed at each meal. 2. Medications: If the pet requires medication, know the type, dosage, and schedule for administering it. 3. Behavioral Traits: Learn about their personality, including any likes, dislikes, and any signs of stress or anxiety. This helps tailor interactions to their comfort level. 4. Exercise Requirements: Know their activity level and preferred types of exercise. Some dogs may need vigorous walks or hikes, while others may prefer more relaxed strolls or indoor play. 5. Training Commands: Familiarize yourself with any specific commands or cues the pet responds to, ensuring consistent communication. 6. Socialization Preferences: Understand how they interact with other pets and people. Some may be friendly and outgoing, while others may be shy or reserved. 7. Health History: Be aware of any previous health issues or concerns, as well as recent vet visits or vaccinations. 8. Comfort Items: Know if they have favorite toys, blankets, or other items that help them feel secure and happy. 9. Routine: Understand their daily routine, including walking times, play sessions, and bedtime habits, to maintain consistency. 10. Emergency Contacts: Have the owner's contact information, along with their vet’s information, in case of emergencies. Gathering this information ensures that pets receive the best care possible and helps them feel comfortable and secure during their time away from their owners.
