Gentle giant that loves dogs
Pet care experience
I grew up in a home with 2x dogs (labradoodles) and started a pet-care service for my neighborhood. I am more than eager to interact with dogs from all backgrounds. Most experienced with larger breeds, but comfortable caring for all sizes. Can administer medicine.
Reviews
Ben is awesome! He takes the pups on fun outings and loves them like his own. I especially love that he gives each dog the time and space they need to feel comfortable and safe. As a result, dogs love him as much as he loves them!
Ben is a well-qualified dog caregiver who I've trusted with my own dogs for more than 10 years. He's had experience looking after dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and training levels, and there are few people that I would trust more to look after my dogs.
Ben is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. He is also one of the most responsible people I know. Ben would treat any dog as if it were his own, with so much love and care. Not only will your pup be safe and get exercise during the walk, your pup will have such a fun time because Ben’s love for dogs is overflowing!
About Ben H.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live nearby the Alexandria dog park, run daily on the Mount Vernon Trail, and will travel to provide as much greenery as necessary for the dog.
Information Ben H. would like to know about your pet
Before taking on a new dog, I’d want to know how the dog best connects to humans, plus any triggers or noteworthy experiences the dog has had in order to best accommodate. I’m a big fan of herding and field dogs, but I never turn down an opportunity to give out pets and belly rubs!
A typical day
I live next to multiple dog parks and the Mount Vernon trail, which means that any dog that I take care of can have as active of a stay as they want!
Services
Ben can watch in your home
Availability
I am available all weekends, and work from home in the afternoons (after 12pm). I can accommodate long-term set schedules that will allow me to earn the dog’s trust, but am also open to flexible engagements where you need to entrust your dog’s care to someone that will tend for them as you would.
