Pet care experience
I have experience taking care of my elderly dog, which included accidents in the house, scheduling pills, and walks around the neighborhood. I am patient and excited to start caring for other’s pets. I am an environmentalist by trade and have deep empathy for other living beings. I also have experience taking care of friend’s and family’s dogs, and would love to take care of yours, too.
Reviews
Repeat customer here, Ben is just the best! Thank you for caring for our pups like family— it shows. We’ll be back!!
Ben was great our pups really took to him quickly. We had him for an overnight stay while we were out of town. The dogs were well cared for and played with we loved having someone in the house with them. Ben is a kind soul I and the dogs picked up right away and I liked his demeanor with them it’s very similar to ours. We definitely would book again in the future. I cannot honestly say enough nice words we are so grateful to found such a caring person for our pets.
Ben was an angel with our two German shepherds, I am very impressed with his caring heart and professionalism. They loved him immediately!! Our older dog can be anxious and our puppy is a drama queen, but both gravitated towards him the moment he walked in the door: he has a calm, caring presence. Ben was flexible with our needs for the week and clear about what we wanted, spending several hours with them most days and then staying overnight when we needed it. We felt completely comfortable with him in our home while we were gone, and he sent updates during the week to let us know how our fur babies were doing. His attention to detail extended to noticing that our neighbors had freshly fertilized their yard, so he kept our dogs away from that area and alerted us to it as well. He conveyed integrity, honesty, caring, and genuine enjoyment of our dogs throughout our interactions. Thank you, Ben… we’ll never go back to boarding!
Great with our puppy. Had a wonderful time away from the house and no problems to worry about!

I am quick to understand new responsibilities and schedules, and will give lots of love and attention to your pet. I will stay aware of their physical and mental well being.
Information Ben K. would like to know about your pet
Knowing their daily routine and needs is the most important for care. I’d also like to know who the dog is, including their energy level, their comfort level with strangers, and basic habits. I’m more than comfortable being with bigger dogs and ones who may misbehave. I’ll be patient and loving. Anything you think is pertinent for their best care is what I’d really like to know ahead of time.
A typical day
Your pet and I would enjoy long, restorative walks together where they can smell for as long as they’d like. We would also play a lot including fetch, running around, hide and seek, and playing with their favorite toy.
