Pawsitively the best care!

Pet care experience

Growing up, our home was never without the happy chaos of pets. We had a golden retriever and a German shepherd that were my first lessons in friendship. As I grew older, CeeJay, our lovable Goldendoodle, joined our pack and is still going strong at 13! We also had three cats, and I was the only one who could figure them out - earning me the title of “cat whisperer” from the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my life - it's something I've done for my own pets and my neighbors'. It's more than just a job for me; it's about ensuring every pet feels loved and cared for. That's the kind of care I can guarantee for your pets.

Ben and his roommates took great care of our dogs while we were away for two weeks! They got plenty of play time at the park and looked like they had a blast. He also accommodated our dog,Teds, frequent potty breaks which we really appreciated. I would totally leave our dogs with him again and recommend to anyone!

Excellent Sitter! High recommend. Made sure my girl got to the park, daily. Brought her about town. She looked well rested and well taken care of when I picked her up. Highest marks!

Ben and his roommate took good care of my cat and she didn't seem stressed at all during her stay with them. I appreciated the consistent updates and pictures that they provided to me. I'll be booking again with Ben in the future.

Information Ben H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special circumstances I will need to accommodate for your pet. No problem at all but preferred to know sooner rather than figuring it out in the moment!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks or runs and integrating them into my daily routines. I also believe a social dog is a happy dog, I always try to get them out to either a dog park or a coffee shop if they’re alright with other pets!

As a work-from-home professional, integrating pet care into my routine actually comes naturally and adds a wonderful dynamic to my day. I usually start my morning with a short exercise routine, which can easily include a refreshing dog walk or some active playtime with a pet. Breaks during the day, which are crucial to maintaining productivity and mental well-being, become great opportunities to provide pets with attention, whether that's a quick game, a cuddle, or another walk. My lunch break also allows ample time to attend to a pet's needs, including feeding and any necessary outdoor time. Plus, having a pet around during this break provides great company! Lastly, winding down my workday typically involves some relaxation and unwinding, which fits perfectly with a pet's evening routine. This might involve a more leisurely walk, playtime, or just some quiet companionship. Overall, working from home means I have a flexible schedule and can readily adapt to a pet's needs, ensuring they're not just cared for, but also given lots of attention and love throughout the day.
