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.

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!

This is our second time having Ben stay with our pup. Just as with the previous time he was great: clear communication, accommodating, and our pup loves him!

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.
