Pet care experience
I treat every dog like my own, I really care for them and look after how they're feeling and what they need. I am very affectionate with dogs, while also respectful of their space if they need it. I've been dog sitting for about 5 years and helping with dog rescues for about 10 years. Over the years, I have put in time with rescue operations in the US and overseas. In 2013 I had the opportunity to help with a 270 dog fighting ring rescue in the Philippines - the largest in the world. Anything I can do to help these loving animals! I helped another rescue in Manila do photography so their dogs and cats could get adopted. From time to time I'll do fun photos with dogs that I take care of, so you can see how much fun your dog is having while they're with me.
Reviews
Ben was fantastic with our dogs. We have 2 Beagles and a terrier, all of whom can be quite challenging. Ben took it all in stride, and we had three happy puppy dogs when we returned. He kept in touch with us everyday with photos and text messages. The pups responded well to Ben's calm, mellow energy. We are contemplating two trips in 2019, and will be contacting Ben to pup sit. Thank you, Ben!
Ben is a ROCKSTAR!!! We had Ben this past week take care of our Malamute and he did an awesome job? Exceeded our expectations and sent pics of him. He put us right at ease from the first meet and greet. Ben is very professional and caring and without a doubt a dog lover. Our boy took to him right away and showed no signs of being upset when we got back. Ben also followed our instructions perfectly. Highly recommended??
Ben was fantastic and my dogs just loved him! I would definitely use him in the future!
Very professional and friendly! He wrote great daily reports with pics. We were a little nervous to try this service (i.e. let a stranger into our home with our beloved babies) and those concerns are completely allayed. Ben is great and we will definitely book him again for future trips. Highly recommended!
About Ben G.
Communication
Skills
Information Ben G. would like to know about your pet
Before I take care of a dog, I like to know about their social comforts - are they comfortable around men and/or women, are they comfortable around other dogs (in case we come across another dog while walking or at the dog park), and are they comfortable riding in a car (in case I want to take them with me on errands or to lunch).
A typical day
I like to make your dog part of my daily life, if it suits their social comfort, age and condition. If they can go with me to lunch, coffee, etc. then I love to bring them. If they like to take it easy and walk around the block by your house, then we'll take it easy and do that. If they like to go to the dog park, that's always fun too!
