Hiking and walking of all kinds!

Pet care experience

I will love your pup! I am a dog enthusiast with an outdoors trend. My fiancee and I take our pup hiking and on adventures all through the city where your dog can join in. I have been taking care of dogs since my family got our dog when I was 6 years old all the way to now with my own good boy. I have mainly medium to large sized dogs to take care of in the past but do also have experience with smaller ones as well. Puppies are great and always appreciated and they will be guaranteed to make me into a human puddle. Let me help take care of your dog, it will be one of the highlights of my week!

Ben was great with Kaika! He was responsive to Kaika's needs and wants while we were away for the weekend. We also appreciated Ben's updates with photos every time he was with Kaika. We'll definitely reach out to Ben for future trips!

Ben and his wife hosted our dog for one week. We chose Ben because he works from home which is what our dog is used to, and could provide lots of daily exercise, which our dog needs. The daily care Ben provided was great and we got lots of photos and updates. The only issue was that a full plate of chocolate desserts was left within reach of our dog, and she ate the entire batch, resulting in a trip to the ER. Ben and his wife got the dog to the vet and made sure she was OK. I was disappointed that food toxic to dogs was left out for our dog to get, but grateful that Ben got her immediate care.

Ben was great with Riggins. He really saved us when my original sitter cancelled last minute. He communicated effectively during our pick up and drop off, and kept us updated regularly through the stay. Riggs came back happy, relaxed, and healthy. Would highly recommend to others

Information Ben K. would like to know about your pet

Will they be cautious around men with facial hair? Do they like being around other dogs? Are they house trained reasonably well?

Hiking, jogging, a leisurely walk or some time at the park and a good game of fetch. Whatever your dog enjoys, I like to do.
