Information Ben C. would like to know about your pet

What I’d like to know about the dog is if they have been potty trained, if they bite and have been givin there shots. If the dog has any health concerns or special needs. When does your pet usually like to eat and go for walks. Also, I enjoy all types of breeds.

A typical day

Morning playtime is always my favorite way to kick off the day. I enjoy taking my dogs to the park and interacting with other dogs. Playing fetch and tug-of-war are also enjoyable activities. Additionally, dogs communicate their desires effectively, which makes it easy to understand their needs. I like to bring treats with me to reward my dogs for their good behavior.

Pet care experience

I have a deep appreciation for all types of pets and their highly curious and affectionate personalities. Training them is always my favorite activity, as it allows me to bond with them and foster their well-being. With over six years of experience as a pet sitter and four and a half years working at a kennel, I have honed my skills in cleaning cages, washing and bathing pets, and providing essential care such as administering medication, feeding, and playing. I am well-trained in pet care and have extensive experience in handling various pet species. I am particularly drawn to pets that exhibit a strong affinity for me from the moment I meet them. My compassionate and understanding nature enables me to provide exceptional care and attention to all the pets in my care. I find immense joy in their personalities and high spirits, and I make it my mission to ensure that they feel comfortable and at home. Pet care has become an integral part of my daily routine. I am consistently available to care for pets, whether they are being boarded or not. During boarding, I typically take dogs for walks and promptly return to attend to the needs of the other pets. My primary focus is on providing the pets with my undivided attention and ensuring their comfort. I adhere to their daily routine, including feeding, walking, and any necessary medication. I strive to create a nurturing environment where they feel secure and loved.

My dog loves going to Ben's house! And Ben is very kind to me, as the worried dog owner. He has a terrific yard, too!

Cherry seemed to have a great time! She came back bouncy and happy with a much less full battery. We're so grateful that she was treated like one of his own. We'll definitely be booking in the future if they'll have her! Thanks for everything Ben!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
