Availability
I currently take care of my father and have a flexible schedule. Possible for me to adjust depending on the needs of the client but I typically walk my dogs when the sun is out adjusting for sun rise/set during the year. As an owner of a high energy breed, I understand the importance of still getting a good walk in even when the weather is horrible

Safety, trust & environment
In my home my pets can free roam and are allowed on the furniture and bed. In client’s home I respect their rules. I do not accept clients without a meet and greet. I live 2 blocks from Allegheny Commons Park. I frequently walk there and the river trail as well. I use the Allegheny Common’s dog park as well but as it’s not fenced in I have no intentions of taking client’s dogs there

Pet care experience
I grew up with cats and started walking dogs ~23 years ago in elementary school after my family got a dog. Since middle school I have boarded and house sat for dogs as well as some check-ins for cats, hamsters, birds, turtles and fish. I’m most comfortable working with dogs and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages as well as reactive dogs. While I was taught differently growing up, I have been using solely positive reinforcement training for around 8 years. While I am not a trainer I have studied under professional trainers and try to stay up to date on current training techniques
Reviews
Ben is great! We get lots of pictures and updates and know our cats are in good hands with him.
Once again, Ben provided professional care for our cats. He doesn't just feed then, he will sit and pay attention, play with and pet them. We can always rely on him and that is everything when we are traveling away from home. Thank you Ben!
Ben is always stellar. Good communication and consistent care. I never worry about our cat when he’s caring for her.
Ben is the GOAT rover!!
