Pet care experience

I grew up caring for dogs raising AKC certified german shepherds and pug puppies in my hometown of Hermann, MO. My aunt and uncle are both vets, and I would often spend time helping them walk dogs they had boarded. I have experience providing dogs medicine or shots as needed. I keep my calendar updated, and I’m usually booked well in advance! I have a fully remote office job so I'm frequently at home. Looking forward to hearing from you! I have plenty of space: 1 bedroom, 800 square feet upstairs, with 800 square feet clean, dry basement. I can take as many as three dogs at a time, and only ever board one owner's dog(s) at a time to best accommodate your dog(s)!

Took great care of my dog Rotini for the long stay! I received many photos and reports on how they were doing and I really trust him with my dog

Amazing! Very communicative and professional! Highly recommend using Ben for your next Rover experience. He watched Louie for 2+ weeks and we will definitely use him again!

Ben was great with rotini! He sent pictures every day and rotini seemed to have a great time. He can be a little anxious, but it seems like Ben handled it really well. This was our first rover booking, and we will definitely be back!

Information Ben D. would like to know about your pet

For boarding: House trained dogs only please! I have experience providing dogs medicine or shots as needed. I have an office job but it's fully remote, so I'm home during the day all the time.

A typical day

I live near a park-Tilles Park. 63109. Plenty of open space. Very dog-friendly neighborhood. I am home predominantly and work a remote office job, so there's plenty of attention and dog walks.

Availability

I have an office job but that's fully remote, so I'm home all day during the day. I own my house, and live near a park, (Tilles Park, 63109) so long walks to blow off energy after work is easily accessible. I own a dog friendly car (Honda Element) so a drive to the park to avoid the traffic on Chippewa Street where I live is no problem at all!
