I love to take care of & walk dogs.

Pet care experience

I've always had a love for dogs and I think it is important that your dogs get the care they need so you can come home to a healthy and happy dog. Growing up in Iowa as the oldest sibling of two sisters, I developed a love for the outdoors, singing, watching films, and my dog Max. In Iowa, I would walk my dog, and as a 4-H member I would show Max at the fair for the dog show. My added experience of dog care and the dog training that went along with it (agility and obedience) is something I still cherish to this day. I've been taught the ropes of dog-walking in Chicago as part of Chicago dog-walking companies' interview process, and my roommate and good friend is a longtime Chicago dog-walker who has shared his dog-walking knowledge with me. As an Eagle Scout, and a trustworthy, loyal, and reliable person I would enjoy walking, sitting, or doing pet visits for your dog. Reach out to me for your dog care needs. Best, Ben Collison.

Information Ben C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any noises that your dog may be afraid of/distracted by, so that I can avoid them during walks, anything they might enjoy playing with/doing on a walk, sit, or visit, and anything I should give to your dog as a reward (treats, etc.).

A typical day

I can play catch with your dog if you want in the park or play with any dog toys they might have to keep them entertained. I understand to keep myself between your dog and other dogs when walking them to avoid any sort of unnecessary confrontation between dogs, and not take them to a park that is occupied by too many dogs.
