Pets

I love Nature Connection and Pets.

Pet care experience

I love being outside connecting with Nature, especially animals. The passion for nature connection started when I was 10 years old in Oregon at a Nature camp. Ever since then I have had pets that I have taken care of. My favorite thing to do is be outside with them. I started a Non profit that is based in Nature Connection called Blue River Forest Experience in Overland Park, KS. Part of the Non profit is Animal Therapy. I help take care of ducks, chickens, goats, cats and dogs and they take care of me and others. To learn more about the Non profit visit blueriverforestexperience . org I am honest, loyal and kind. I will take good care of your space and your pets. I am passionate about this so it’s more than just a job. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

Ben was so great! He took such great care of my pup and was very communicative. I had such peace of mind and was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in such great hands. We will definitely be using Ben again! Thank you!

Ben was great! He was very easy to communicate with and I appreciated that he was available to come to our house and meet us and our dog on such short notice. While we were away, Ben did a great job giving me updates and letting me know when he was departing on his final day. He left our house exactly like he found it, actually a little better since he took out the trash and watered flowers too! Ben was super great to work with and I will happily use him again!

Ben really worked hard to make a schedule that would work for my pups. It was pretty short notice and the first time meeting my dogs. He did a terrific job communicating and caring for my dogs. I so very much appreciated his care and help
