Safety, trust & environment

I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours! I am happy to meet in advance to discuss any needs required and to make sure I am the best fit for your dog! As a dog parent I understand that dogs are a member of the family that require special care. I want to provide the best, stress-free care for your pup. I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.

Information Ben H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your furry family member has any special needs or behaviors to ensure a smooth day. I have various gates here if dogs need to be separated or need a break.

A typical day

I would love to walk and care for your dog wherever that may be. I have various parks nearby to get our daily dose of exercise. We also have a large fenced backyard with ample room to run around or lay in the sun.

Ben is a very caring person, he has my former dog Dexter, who has diabetes. Ben takes excellent care of Dexter. Ben is a pediatric nurse, so that in itself says a lot about him. I would completely trust my pets with Ben.
