I'm doggone friendly

Pet care experience

I have been volunteering at my local animal shelter for the past 8 months as a dog walker. I have two energetic springer spaniels of my own that I look after, so I am no stranger to dogs. One of my dogs had 10 puppies several years ago and it was my job to feed, play, and clean up after them. I am very energetic myself so I will have no problem tiring out the dogs I walk.

Ben has always had a very strong love for animals. This shows because he never stops talking about his two dogs River and Rio. Along with dogs he has love for cats, lizards, and pretty much anything furry! I know he will be a very good dog caregiver.

Both Ben and his family have been long time dog lovers, its in their blood. Ben enjoys spending his time volunteering at an animal hospital. Accordingly, his care and compassion toward canines is not of question. He also helped raise a litter of English Springer Spaniel puppies, one of which I now own. Young pup or elderly pooch, Ben is your guy.

I have known Ben for nearly my whole life. Growing up, my favorite part of hanging out with him was hanging out with his dogs. I was always there to observe in him taking care of his dog and going for extraneously long walks around local parks, swimming near his house and playing fetch. Then, Ben was blessed with a whole litter of puppies one day that he took a big part in looking after and providing all of the necessary care for awhile. His family ended up keeping one of the pups and Ben took on the responsibility of two well-behaved but always excited dogs. He has devoted a lot of his time to his dogs and is always there to go the extra step to make sure they are healthy, happy and well trained. One minute with Ben and his dogs and you will understand why he is a very loving and responsible dog owner.
