Farmer that loves pets

Pet care experience

I have a wonderful 6 year old Cane Corso at home who is very sweet and a great family dog. As for animal caretaking I have dropped in for check-ins, walks and bathroom breaks and have had many overnights with a range of animal sizes and temperaments from Mastiffs to puppies. My boss’s dog is part border collie and is high energy any day that ends in Y. We got down a game of fetching stick and dropping said stick over the course of a few weeks. My mother-in-law has a young, but certainly not small, Italian mastiff who needs some more intense playtime. I have house sat for friends and bosses several times for up to a week at a time. My schedule is flexible and I love getting to know new animals and owners as well.

Our spoiled dog loved having Ben stay at the house! He seemed content the whole time we were gone. Ben left the house tidy and striped the bed he used. We will definitely book again!

Ben did a great job with our dog. Walked him a good distance and played with him, was friendly and straight forward to work with. Would book again!

Ben did a wonderful job managing our critters. We were very pleased with his work and will definitely hire him again. He kept us updated while we were away and we didn't have to worry about their safety, care, watering, or feeding. We highly recommend Ben.

Daisy loves Ben! Ben is our weekly walker, and is so gentle and careful with Daisy. She looks forward to walks with him every week!

Safety, trust & environment

Although right now I cannot have other dogs come to my home I have no problem checking in on pets in other peoples homes. Very good about checking in for potty breaks, play time and walks if necesssry.

Information Ben E. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their temperament as some can be finicky around different people. For example, my mother in laws mastiff doesn’t like hats. So any small details like that would be appreciated. Also, knowing if the dog is a rescue would be good as I’ve been around some very skiddish dogs that have been rescued from a shelter.

A typical day

I love going for walks (weather permitting) and having plenty of play time. Some cuddles and attention. Are also important to incorporate as well/as needed.
