Excercise for me and your dog!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Ben, and I teach chemistry at UW La Crosse. This summer I am not teaching any classes. Not wanting to be too lazy, I thought walking dogs would be a fun way to get some exercise and sun over the summer while making a little bit of cash. As a kid I grew up around dogs, and often would watch dogs for people around the neighborhood. Right now, I have a small corgi/chihuahua mix named Dax. I have had Dax for almost 3 years. Dax is a rescue, so I have some experience with dogs that can be less friendly with people, or take a little bit more time to earn their trust. I look forward to helping you take care of your dog!
Reviews
Ben is a great guy. Well prepared and very positive about the task at hand. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who has a need for his services.
Ben has grown up with a dog his entire life. During that time he has shared in the responsibility of caring for all of his pets. As he got older he was also called on by our neighbors to watch after their pets when they were out of town. Ben loves spending time with dogs and the dogs respond in kind and genuinely enjoy Ben's company. He is a very conscientious and hard working person and will be an asset to you company.
I have known Ben for almost a decade since we met in grad school and we became instant best friends. I was more than happy to trust Ben to take care of my dog while I was traveling for chemistry conferences or vacations in Europe. Ben did an excellent job with my 5-year old (at the time) beagle, Moca. Moca was a big ball of energy that Ben would somehow find a way to wear out. He always took her for long walks and was obviously very comfortable with dogs (and dogs comfortable around him). Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Ben!
Ben is a caring and patient dog owner who is the perfect balance of relaxed and disciplined. His care for his own dog is reliable and attentive, as well as structured. He will bring affection to the dogs in his care, while preserving each animal's routines and discipline. He is 100% dependable, humorous, low key, and always attentive to opportunities to improve how he does things. He understands dogs and the benefits dogs can bring to our lives. He was instrumental in lining up a friend with a therapy dog, to the great benefit of the friend. I would trust Ben taking my dog anywhere, knowing my dog would be in confident and caring hands.
