Animal-Shelter Volunteer! 🐶

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Ben and I’ve just moved back to the U.K. after 8 years in the USA! 🇺🇸 🦅 ✈️ 🇬🇧 Growing up in the English countryside gave me an endless love for animals, big & small. In addition to livestock experience, I’ve spent countless hours caring for & looking after smaller animals and family pets. Before COVID, i worked part time at Secondhand Hounds here in the Twin Cities, caring for the in-house cats & dogs waiting to be re-homed. Care including: Potty let-outs, kennel cleaning, walking, grooming & medication management for cats & dogs. I’m based in NE Minneapolis in a new build complex, I’m never more than 2 minutes from some type of grass in any direction and 5 minutes from the Mississippi Riverwalk and Sprinting Parkland. While in your neighbourhood, I’ll be sure to ask your preferred park or walking route. I'm a very active individual who enjoys going on hikes; With your permission, I will gladly take your dog along with me!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ben had our husky, Loki, for the weekend, and we received multiple picture updates of his many, MANY walk/runs while we were gone. We have a happy, tired boy home with us, and we will ask Ben to sit for us in the future whenever possible.

Ben is great. My dog loved her walk with Avenue. He was prompt and quick in responding to my messages. Thanks Ben for awesome walks!
