We’ll always love them like our own

Pet care experience

Helped raise litters of golden retrievers growing up. Have had a dog my whole life and now am happy to own a happy 4 year old pup with my girlfriend, Kathryn! Kathryn and I both take care of this Rover account, and Kathryn is a teacher so she is home all the time in the summer! We bring our dog on at least 1 if not two walks a day and love going on hikes on the weekend. Whatever your schedule needs, we should be able to work something out! My girlfriend and I have an apartment that is right next to a dog park as well as local hiking trails! We have a 4 year old Lab- Doberman mix who is super sweet and a really happy, energetic pup that gets along well with others dogs.

So attentive and easy to work with. Our dog is very stranger shy and they brought their sweet dog along to make him feel more at ease. Sent photos with every visit and went above and beyond for our pets in general. Thank you!

Ben was great! He was flexible with drop-off and pickup times and communicated with us throughout the whole time he had or two pups. He sent pics and was just a good person with our dogs. Would definitely book with him again and highly recommend!

Ben did a great job, very flexible on the drop off and pick up times, which is a huge help. He obviously loves dogs and it shows! Would definitely book again!

I’m currently off during the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups!! I love to be outside so I take dogs on walks and to dog parks frequently.
