Pet care experience
My family welcomes you!
Hello! My name is Ben! My wife and I own BEAR, our crate free dog sitting company! Together we’ve taken care of pets for over 20 years! I’ve had many of my own and have been fortunate enough to have been trusted by family and friends to watch dogs, cats, birds and horses.

Ratings and reviews
Second time out Frida stays with Ben. Everything perfect and super easy, as last time. Ben sent some pictures and videos to show us how Friday was enjoying the day. We’ll repeat!

Ben was available within a day notice and he took great care of Frida. She wanted to stay a bit longer and she refuse to leave until she say proper bye

Our dog had a good time at Bens,

My dog was walked once and safely returned to me, but that's about all the positive I can say about his 9 hr dogsitting stay. Ben's place reeked of weed and my dog didn't want to go inside. He displayed submissive behaviors to Ben at their first meeting, which he rarely ever does. I only recieved two updates the whole day, one of which I had to ask for. And though I was told he ate an entire day's worth of food right before pickup he still ate dinner once home. My dog does alright alone, but I booked sitting so he could have a fun day with attention and activities. I feel that he would have had a better time at home.

Puffy had a great time and he clearly loved spending time with Ben and his family 😊 would highly recommend!

They take great care of my old girl!
