Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog & cat walker/sitter
What sets me apart is my combination of genuine love for animals, lifelong hands-on experience, and a responsible, personal approach to pet care. I’ve been helping care for my family’s and my neighbors’ pets since childhood and understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities. I currently help care for my family’s 14-year-old senior dog, which has given me valuable experience with patience, gentle handling, administering medication, and paying close attention to comfort and health needs. I know how important it is to notice small changes in behavior and provide calm, dependable care—especially for older pets. I also focus strongly on safety, consistency, and communication. Pet owners deserve peace of mind, so I make it a priority to be punctual, reliable, and provide updates while you’re away. I’m active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks are engaging and enjoyable rather than rushed. In addition to walks and standard visits, I’m happy to offer extended playtime, extra companionship, and one-on-one attention for pets who need more exercise, stimulation, or social interaction.

Safety, trust & environment
At this time, I’m not offering pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to provide care in clients’ homes where pets are often most comfortable within their familiar environments and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their schedule as normal and stress-free as possible. This includes regular meal times with refreshed water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication if needed, keeping the home tidy and secure, and retrieval of mail from outside the home. I’m respectful of each client’s home, attentive to instructions, and make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos for client peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Benjamin (August) was very responsible with taking care of my cats for a few days while i was out of town. He was prompt and sent lots of pictures of the cats, who were a little shy around a new comer. I would highly recommend him for your petsitting needs.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ August is our pets favorite pet sitter. You dont' need to think twice, book him ASAP! He is always professional, punctual, and very communicative. Our dogs feel comfortable with him and it is clear he genuinely cares about all animals. He provides updates and photos throughout the stay, which gives us great peace of mind while we are away. He is respectful of our home, follows all care instructions carefully, and even spends extra time playing with our pups and making sure they are comfortable. When we return, our dogs are happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not always easy finding someone dependable you can trust with both your pet and home, but August exceeds expectations. Five stars all around. I highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits nicely into my daily schedule now that I am home for the summer affording me open availability throughout the week. This gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits depending on each pet owner’s needs. Because my schedule is so open, I’m able to be consistent, punctual, and accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests when available.
