Pet care experience

I have a genuine love for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love being outdoors and going on walks, so having your dog join me would be a joy. I’m currently on a leave of absence from my doctoral program, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care and attention throughout the day. I’m very familiar with pets’ needs—I currently have four cats and grew up with a dog—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life.

Handled my two big rowdy dogs like a champ! Communicative/proactive with concerns, and handled the needs of my elderly dog. Will be having her watch my dogs in the future.

I was skeptical that anyone could handle my cat, Mojo, who has super zoomies energy and the dietary opinions of a Michelin-star food critic. But Benya? She somehow nailed it. Not only did Mojo survive the week, he came back somehow more at peace when I left which I didn’t think it was possible. Benya sent daily updates and took care of my cat really well. 10/10 would trust Benya the cat whisperer with my little zoomie fiery furry again. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐈‍⬛

Benya took care of my cat Mozzarella while I was on a weekend trip. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and punctual on feeding Mozzarella. She also made sure to give my cat extra pets and attention. I would love Benya to spend time with Mozzy again!

Benya is an outstanding pet sitter. She raises two cats. One of the cats became unexpectedly pregnant, and Benya raised the five kittens on her own. This experience strengthened Benya’s ability to juggle tasks unique to each kitten. Besides taking care of her cats, her friends and family, as well as myself, trust her judgment when overseeing their properties and pets while they are away. She prioritizes locking properties’ doors and gates while taking pets out for walks. Benya is additionally communicative. She is responsive to texts and calls from other pet owners and me whenever they want updates regarding their pets and properties. I fully trust Benya to look over my pets and properties, and I cannot wait for others to try her services.
