Pet care experience
We'll ❤️ your pup like they’re ours
My wife Alejandra and I have both cared for dogs our entire lives and currently have a four year old and an 8 month Australian Cattle pups, Arthur and Charlotte (Charlie), who we treat like our kids. Seriously. We just moved to a nice 2 bedroom apartment in Highlands Ranch with plenty of space for zoomies and to wrestle. There’s a trail next to our complex where we go on walks whenever we want. We also take full advantage of our annual pass to Chatfield State Park that they both adore and we can bring your dog(s) as well (as long as there aren’t any restrictions we need to be made aware of). We have plenty of toys, bones, and treats to share!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Always a joy to bring our pup over to Ben and Alejandra's house - she loves getting to see her human and doggo friends, and we love being able to leave her in enthusiastic and trusted care.
In addition to just being incredibly kind and professional dog sitters, we especially appreciate the daily recaps and photo/video updates - it's so much easier and less stressful to travel when we know what a fun playdate our furbaby is going to have with her friends while we're gone!
Such a good visit! Karlach had a wonderful time romping with her friends, and Karlach's humans appreciated the photo and video updates throughout :)
Ben is THE dog whisperer! We have an extremely timid dog with both new people and dogs and Ben and his two dogs (Charlie and Archer) were so patient and understanding with our pup. They made him feel safe and let him come out of his shell at his own pace rather than forcing him and it made all the difference. By day 3 our dog was besties with his and comfortable enough to snuggle with Ben. Ben kept in touch daily sending pictures and updates which my family and I really appreciated. He was very receptive to our dog's needs and treated him like he was his own. I would absolutely recommend Ben and will definitely book him for future needs!
Ben and his pups took great care of our golden retriever. He was visiting over the holidays and they even went the extra mile to get him a present to open on Christmas. He came home very happy, healthy, and with new friends.
Karlach had a great time visiting, as ever! The whole family (human and canine alike) are wonderful hosts, and she came home from the weekend happily tuckered out. 10/10, will stay over again.

Schedule
My wife’s a teacher and I work full-time on a hybrid schedule - Mon, Thurs, Fri from home and Tuesday and Wednesday's I'm in the office downtown, but other than that I take my dogs for walks every 2-3 hours when I'm home. I request to work from home all week when I’m sitting other dogs for extended days so that your pup’s needs are always met.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our new house is spacious and pets are allowed on the furniture/bed to make it as comfortable as possible for your pet. Plenty of space for a crate if they need to be crated. Plus Arthur is a great dog-host and is able to be playful or chill depending on your dogs personality.
Pets
A typical day
We have lots of toys to play with and there’s a perfect trail behind our house so we go on walks 2-3 times per day.
