I have a complete block walled backyard, and a very calm and quiet home environment. Your baby(s) can sleep with me on my bed or their bed(s) that you bring. I prefer to let pets run free in my home, but will only crate your pet if you request. I will play with them, cuddle them, comfort them, and spoil them with love. I will feed, provide only fresh water, and give treets as directed. Plus, I have extended experience with seniors and special needs, and can administer prescription meds or shots as needed.

Also Bedtime and sleeping arrangements, Treats and People food I'm allowed to offer, Games or toys they enjoy.

A typical day

It's fun hiding treats in the yard and the house, then they follow me around till they find them. I have a large amount of toys and love to play and watch them get excited. Mostly, I like to massage them, cuddle and watch their face when I talk to them. They will never get bored. They will have my full attention while in my care.

Pets are Family 2

Pet care experience

My first pet was as a single adult. My neighbor gave me a fluffy white Samoyed puppy. I had no idea what I was getting in to, but it was love at first sight. I didn't mind the messes because he gave me such joy. As he grew he taught me the meaning of unconditional love. I never knew there could be such a bond between humans and their pets. Snoopy was my first, but I've loved many dogs and even cats since. Mangoul and Shangoul, my beautiful Persian cats, and later, Pompeii, my Saimese cat were precious treasures. In 2022, I lost my 14 yr old precious little Tyke to liver desease. I can't go through that again. Then, my friend told me about Rover. She told me how much fun she has walking dogs, and doing drop-ins. I really missed the fun and joy playing with and being around Animals, so I signed up. I'm so happy I did. I promise to give the utmost care, attention and affection to Your little Family members as I have my own.

Ben and Kathy did an excellent job taking care of our boy Mikey. Mikey has separation anxiety and can be a little nervous nelly when it comes to rain and storms and big dogs! they made Mikey feel at ease and comfortable! we received pictures of Mikey chilling out and enjoying the grassy backyard. we enjoyed our vacation knowing Mikey was being well looked after!!

Ben was fantastic! He watched my dog for a long weekend, and she had such a great time she almost didn’t want to come home …..which says it all. You could tell they really bonded, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was so happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Ben and would absolutely book with him again!
