I’m part-time caretaker for a family member, so I’m currently not working and have a very flexible schedule. I’m usually available within 24-hour notice, if I’m not taking them to a doctor’s appt or anything like that.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I’m renovating my house and don’t feel it’s a safe environment for pets right now, but hopefully that will change at some point next year. In a client’s home, I can adapt to whatever the pet prefers (lots of attention/contact, accompanying outside, whatever).

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and I’m the go-to house and pet sitter for family and friends. I love walking in general, so I enjoy the opportunity to do so with four-legged company. Even the pups who are wary of men tend to warm up to me okay. I’m also renovating my own home, so house sitting is like a vacation for me, haha. I’ve never owned a pet as an adult because I used to travel more, nor did I want to leave a pet alone while I was at the office all day, but I have fostered 8 kittens in my home previously and I love all animals… although I’m gonna have to pass on certain reptiles, haha. Sorry.

This is my second time having Ben pet sit and I cannot express how grateful to have found such an amazing person to take care of my two cats and my dog. I get updates and pictures to set my mind at ease the whole time I’m away. He goes above and beyond to see to everyone is happy and taken care of. The bond he has formed with my dog warms my heart for the both of them. Thank you Ben for all you do!

Ben has sat our pup a few times now and has always been amazing. He’s very accommodating, sends lots of pictures, and, most importantly, our dog loves him. Will 100% keep working with Ben in the future.

Ben was great with my dog, gave plenty of updates, and treated my house with respect. I’d book him again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
