Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are the best.
I am a volunteer dog walker at a local shelter so I have lots of experience with walking and handling all sorts of dogs. I have a 14 year old Husky mix and 6 year old Siberian Husky. The older guy has slowed down and needs some more tender loving care these days, so I definitely have some special needs/senior experience. The 6 year old girl is very active and gets around 4 miles of walks each day. Seeing the joy on their faces when asked if they want to go for a walk melts my heart. I don't have cats, but I TNR'd four feral cats in the neighborhood and feed and interact with them every morning. In the past, I've also cared for friends' cats when they went out of town - feeding, cleaning litter box, etc. Please have your Rover profile filled out completely along with photos of your pets before contacting for a booking. Thanks!

Safety, trust & environment
When walking my own dogs (and the shelter dogs for that matter), I'm very cognizant of broken glass on the sidewalks, discarded food and trash, and any other obstacles that tend to come up in the city. I know every dog is different and make sure to follow directions given when walking your pup.
Ratings and reviews
Ben is always so wonderful and patient with Pua!!! He has been really responsive and flexible as well. Highly recommend!!
BEN IS THE BEST. CATS. DOGS. MAYBE CAPYBARAS. HES THAT DUDE.
Ben’s great! I know my girls are always gonna get a good walk with Ben. He’s walked our two pups regularly for the last few months and always been very prompt. We’ve got one older dog that can be reactive with other dogs while on leash but Ben’s really good with her, I trust him 100%!
Ben is reliable, kind, patient, and communicative. everything you’d want in a pet sitter! I felt so good leaving my pup in his care!

Ben has been great with our two pups. One of our girls is older and a bit grumpy but Ben manages her very well. He’s always very prompt and reliable. I often have to book with short notice (sorry Ben!) and he’s been very accommodating. Definitely would recommend!

I have a remote sales job which allows me to be very flexible. I volunteer every Friday morning from 8AM-11AM which is the only time I'm not available on a weekly basis.
