I love animals of all kinds!
Pet care experience
I have a lot of experience looking after both dogs and cats over the past 15 years. I love playing with animals and especially like going on walks with them. I have experience taking care of an elderly dog with special needs and with puppies and kittens. I am patient and able to take care of each animal uniquely based on their personality and needs. My family all love pets and my sister is also a pet-sitter. I have also taken care of a bearded dragon and chickens on three occasions.
Reviews
Happy to recommend Ben. Timely communication and our critters were well cared for.
Ben has been a wonderful pet sitter for our kitten (Coco) since we adopted him six months ago. He plays with him all the time and can usually tire out our very energetic little boy. Ben takes such great care of him, and Coco loves him. Ben has watched Coco for a day or two at a time and during our extended vacation. We know our baby is safe and sound with him!
Ben did a good job caring for our dog when we were gone . Never had to worry about care, feeding etc. And updated us regularly.
We have known Ben for many years, he has taken care of our pets numerous times while we go on family vacations. We have a small dog, a bearded dragon, 2 cats along with 10 chickens outside as well. Ben is great at communicating with us, always keeping us informed with pictures and text messages while we are gone. Our dog Pixel is always excited to see Ben arrive. Ben will just sit down on the floor and start petting her, talking to her too. She loves all the attention. Over the years we have been super happy with the quality of care Ben has shown our pets.
About Ben E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I stay in your house or stop in to take your pet to the bathroom or a walk, I am very respectful of your home. I am generally very clean and organized and respectful of people’s privacy. I will follow any directions you leave and will tend to the specific needs of each pet and situation. I know how important pets are to the people that love them.
Information Ben E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what care your pets need ahead of time. I can accommodate many different needs/ personalities. I have experience with elderly dogs with special needs and with puppies.
A typical day
I like playing games, going for walks, and checking out parks. If your pets like to sleep with people, I like to sleep in bed with them. I can give active dogs a lot of exercise, but I also like snuggling with and sitting with and petting dogs once they get tired, or if they are are calmer or older.

Availability
January-July I have a very flexible schedule and can stay in your home and give your pets as much attention as they like. I occasionally have to be away for a few hours during the day. I am very busy August-December and I am not planning on watching pets during those months.
