Highlights
Pet care experience
Thanks for checking out my profile!
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.

Safety, trust & environment
I always double check the house before leaving, monitor food and water intake, and ensure overall health. I love keeping pet parents updated, especially photos of their pets having fun.
Ratings and reviews
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.
Benya was responsible for caring for my two senior animals, a 10 year old leopard gecko named Tomie and a 23 year old cat named Gary. She was excellent at keeping to their routines and my animals absolutely adore her! Both animals are partially blind, and she was incredibly patient with them the entire time! I came home to a pair of very well loved and cared for pets!
Benya has always taken the time to get to know my animals. She is so compassionate with them and will follow all care instructions to the T! I trust her with my fur babies (2 cats 1 dog) while I travel frequently to see family. She really puts her whole heart into her work! Will always recommend her for pet sitting or walking needs!
