Information Ben G. would like to know about your pet

I'd appreciate knowing beforehand if any pets in my care have specific dietary needs, require medication, or have behavioral issues that may require attention. I'm more than willing to accommodate these needs but prefer to be informed in advance.

A typical day

I thoroughly enjoy taking dogs for extended walks or hikes. Living close to the parks means ample space to exhaust even the most high-energy pups. Alongside hiking trails, I ensure plenty of cuddle time for furry friends.

Animal lover in the Animal Field!

Pet care experience

In my role as a Senior Animal Services Officer with the City of San Jose, my extensive experience and understanding of animal behavior equip me with the knowledge of how animals should be treated—with care, love, and nurturing. Prior to this, I oversaw animal boarding facilities, gaining expertise with various breeds, ages, and energy levels, from small to large animals. For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to working passionately with animals, both professionally and personally. When your beloved pet is under my care, they'll receive the same attention and care as if they were my own. Expect regular updates on their well-being—they'll be in safe hands!

Had a great experience with Ben! He was friendly, responsive and took great care of my dog! Ben gave periodic updates during the stay and was easily reachable.

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.
