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.

Trusted Cat Care with Patience

Cat care experience

I have extensive experience providing compassionate, in-home care for cats, with a particular focus on senior cats, anxious cats, and cats requiring comfort-focused or end-of-life support. I understand that cats are highly sensitive to changes in routine and environment, and I prioritize calm, predictable care that allows them to feel safe and respected. My experience includes in-home cat sitting, extended stays, and overnight care. I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications as directed, monitoring eating, drinking, and litter habits, and observing subtle changes in behavior that may indicate stress or discomfort. I provide gentle companionship and quiet support, allowing cats to engage on their own terms while ensuring their needs are consistently met. I have supported cats and their families through end-of-life stages by offering care focused on comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being. I approach this work with deep compassion, clear communication, and respect for both the cat and their family during sensitive transitions. My goal is to provide reassurance, stability, and peace of mind while ensuring cats feel safe and cared for in their own space.

Our cat loves Binta, and found lots of places to nap and watch nature and people from a window!

Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!

Absolutely wonderful! My puppy loved their "doggie daycare" stay, and I felt totally at ease with leaving her with Binta. Great communication, very professional, and truly cares for animals. Binta also has close access to a huge park, which made walks and play time very easy. 5 stars!

I booked Binta for boarding and she was an amazing host for my pup! I was initially nervous with boarding but she took time to understand my dog's needs and gently accommodated them for the weekend. Binta kept me updated with photos of them relaxing at home and going on daily walks. My dog came home happy and calm which let's me know he had a great time with Binta. I will definitely book her again!!
