Ben was great with my shy pandemic kitten. I went away for a long weekend and worried the kitten would hide the whole time, but Ben had a great time getting him out of his shell and playing. I know my kitten will look forward to his next visit.

Ben took fine care of a problematic dog and he was so respectful of the apartment that we probably couldn't have been able to tell that he stayed there.

Ben is outstanding! Responsible, kind and fun. My 2 kittens and apartment were in great hands with Ben for 4 days.

Ben has taken care of my puppy often! Not only was she in love with him, but he was excellent with her. Ben walked, fed, and played with Penny the entire time he was with her. He even helped take care of my family’s 15 year old dog named Pepe. Despite being extremely old and blind, Pepe always found his way to greet and hang out with Ben!

Information Ben C. would like to know about your pet

How the dog behaves around other dogs, children, and adults. House training status and any destructive tendencies are also important to know. Also any preferences, quirks, or special instructions. This will determine the activities for the day.

A typical day

I am close to Astoria Park so I enjoy bringing dogs there on nice days. Otherwise I like to play fetch and tug-of-war with dogs.
