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 necessary.

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 bad situations and some have just not warmed up to me.

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.

Pet care experience

I have a wonderful 8 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. 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.

As always, when Ben does house sitting for our 2 dogs, we come home to find them content and happy. Ben is really good with them.

Would recommend Ben. He’s very responsible, responsive, and great with my parent’s dog. Went above and beyond to make her comfortable.

Ben is a great caregiver for our 2 German Shorthair dogs. They seemed very content when we arrived home after leaving them in his care. He appears to get along with them quite well. He took care of our bird as well. Having him stay with our pets worked out very well.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
