I am grateful to be able to provide service to all animals; it’s my calling! I prioritize communication, trust, and reliability. Many of my clients tell me they chose me not only because their pets felt comfortable with me, but because they felt comfortable with me too.

Ratings and reviews
Binta took care of our three cats while we were away for ten days - I can't say enough positive things about our experience with her! She is thoughtful, generous, and extremely professional. She was through in her care, diligent in administering medication, and worked hard to make sure they were well cared for. She asked questions when needed, and took extra time to clean up the apartment before we returned. We had recently moved into a new apartment and she even took the time to train our cats to each eat from their respective bowls! It was a pleasure having her take care of our family while we were away - and we looked forward to her detailed updates. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for pet care and look forward to working with her in the future!
Binta took good care of my little boy, provided updates and photos. Wolfie was a happy boy!
Binta could NOT have been better. Igot wonderful pictures of my dog, looking comfortable and content. My "pup" is 9 years old and has not ever been away from me for more than 1 day. A bond was instantly formed. I felt very comfortable leaving Perdita with Binta. It was perfect.
Binta did a wonderful job with our senior dog! She left us great pictures and informative messages about her visits with our dog. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for great care!
Binta was great! She gave us thorough daily updates on how our dog was doing and included pictures of their day together. If our dog could rate he would give 12/10
Our cat loves Binta, and found lots of places to nap and watch nature and people from a window!

Schedule
I currently work from home, which allows me ample time and flexibility to give pets focused, attentive care. I live directly across the street from a 67 acre park (1 minute walk) and I am a 10 minute walk from a park with hiking trails for extended walks and exercise.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a clean and quiet ground level apartment fully equipped with a crate, bed, food / water bowl, training pads, poop bags, and toys to ensure your pup's stay is comfortable, clean, and well loved. When caring for pets in my home, I follow each pet’s established routines, including feeding schedules, walks and any needed medication. I prioritize safety and close supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I focus on maintaining familiar routines, keeping the environment clean and secure, and offering clear updates to pet parents.
A typical day
One of my favorite things to do with pets is tailor activities to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. For dogs, I love incorporating enrichment-based sniff walks that allow them to explore their environment, engage their senses, and build confidence. Health and wellness are important parts of my approach to pet care. With family approval, I may offer healthy treats and positive reinforcement to encourage engagement and reward good behavior. I also enjoy practicing light training and reinforcing basic skills such as polite leash walking, focus, recall, and good manners through fun, reward-based interactions. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, enrichment activities, and creating calm, comfortable environments where they can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is always to help pets stay physically active, mentally stimulated, and emotionally fulfilled while their families are away.
