Benita

Hi!

I'm Benita, a 33-year-old artist, paintings conservator, occasional house cleaner and of course animal sitter/ feeder (and all-around animal lover!) I have quite a flexible schedule and love filling my time with other people's pets! I'm especially interested in offering dog sitting and walking services. But I love kitties too :)

I've always lived with animals; cats, dogs, chickens, fish. I've also volunteered on farms, so I could add even more animals to that list! And I spent a month in Scotland looking after 15 Newfoundlands, so am pretty fearless when it comes to giant dogs that weigh more than I do. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience looking after tiny anxious pooches.

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to own my own pet, but I often volunteer to look after my friends' animals :)

My primary mode of transport is bicycle, so for regular home visits, I will most likely only accept bookings that are within around 5km or so of Coburg/ Brunswick. If your pet is especially cute and awesome, I'll probably make an exception :) I often make exceptions... Happy to go almost anywhere for house/ pet sitting as long as it fits in with my schedule.

Also good to note that I have no smartphone, so if I'm a little slow to reply, it's because I'm not near the internet. But I aim to respond as soon as I can! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! = ^..^ =
