Availability

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 large park (1 minute walk) and I am a 10 minute walk from a park with hiking trails for extended walks and exercise. Holiday and last-minute bookings are accepted based on availability. I recommend reaching out as early as possible for holidays to ensure availability, but I’m happy to accommodate short-notice requests whenever possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean and quiet ground level apartment with easy access to a nearby park and dog park. I have a crate, bed, food / water bowl, training pads, and toys in my home to ensure your pup's stay is comfortable, clean, and safe. My home is designed to be a peaceful “home away from home." 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, comfort, 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.

Information Binta F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's temperament and personality first; it is important to me to begin to build a trustworthy relationship for both me and the dog. I would also like to know any health / medicine related information, allergies, or physical ailments. Last but not least, I would love to know their favorite toys, games and treats! :)

A typical day

I also love nature and would love to take dogs on walks through parks around the city, water fronts, and dog park play areas. I will bring the dog's toys and we can play outside together! If weather does not permit, we can also find appropriate indoor exercise or games to play.

Reliable Care for Special Pets

Pet care experience

Trained Walker and Your Pet's Favorite Auntie! 🐶🐱❤️ I know leaving your pet with someone else can be worrisome, so my main priority is to reassure you and guarantee that your pet receives high quality care. I am grateful to be able to connect with and provide service to all animals; it’s my calling! With 10+ years of experience, I specialize in senior pet care, anxious animals, special-needs pets, and animals with past trauma who require gentle handling. I've completed training through an accredited dog walking business which included intensive hands on instruction, focused on dog behavior, safe handling, and structured walks. I offer professional dog walking services that combine exercise and exploration. My understanding of canine behavior ensures each dog enjoys a walk that’s both stimulating and comforting. Walking dogs is a passion of mine, and I take pride in keeping them active, happy, and well-behaved during every outing. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications as directed, monitoring eating and drinking habits, assisting with vet visits, and providing calm care for pets experiencing pain, anxiety, or age-related challenges. I build trusting relationships with pets by following established routines, paying close attention to body language, and adapting care to each animal’s needs. I value clear, consistent communication with pet parents and always provide thoughtful updates to ensure peace of mind while they’re away. Working with Rover allows me to continue doing what I love most, caring for animals and supporting pet parents.

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
