I work from home most of the time, so I have lots of extra time and flexibility to care for pets. I sometimes travel but will update my schedule if that’s the case. On weekdays, I have a lot more flexibility after work hours, I can sometimes do during the day on weekdays depending on the particular day/week. My schedule is a bit irregular, so if you are looking for someone to be on a set schedule the same time week after week, I might not be the right person.

Information Ben K. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know what you’d like me to do, I’m pretty flexible and can accommodate whether they need a lot of exercise or just someone to spend some time with them.

A typical day

I can follow a specific walking route or make up my own, up to you. If your dog likes to run, I’m cool with running them as well.

Dog lover and owner!

Pet care experience

We have had family dogs since I was too young to remember, and I have had my own for 8 years. I’m very active and keep up with high energy dogs too. Currently have a small dog but have had big dogs in the past and can deal with lots of different pet personalities.

Ben was so sweet with my new puppy! He went a little earlier to accommodate my baby that wasn’t used to his crate yet! He played with him, was flexible, and communicated so well. I was so nervous bc my puppy was so small but Ben made me feel less anxious and reassured that Roy was happy! I will definitely call Ben again! Thanks so much Ben!! You’re the best! ??

Ben's a real hero! With my dad in the hospital, he turned our walk into a drop-in and covered the cost. Can't thank him enough! 🏥🐕

Three weeks with Ben, and Kali's giving him two paws up. He caught her paw-blem, navigated hot-sidewalk detours, and babied my gear like a pro. Thanks to him, Kali's traded her jitters for a Zen vibe at home. On the lookout for a dog walker who's Sherlock Holmes meets Dog Whisperer? Ben's your guy.
