Sicherheit, Vertrauen & Umgebung

I follow all instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, and daily routines to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free. My goal is to mirror your usual care routine as closely as possible, so your pet experiences minimal disruption while you're away. In your home, I take great care to maintain a clean, calm, and respectful environment. I will also ensure your home is safe and secure during each visit or stay, treating your space with the same care and responsibility I would my own.

Informationen, die Ben P. gerne über dein Haustier wissen möchte

It’s very important for me to understand your pet’s schedule, triggers, medical needs, and food preferences/allergies in advance. This helps me provide the best and safest care possible. For dogs, I also like to know how they behave on leash, whether they are reactive to other animals, and if they tend to lunge or pull. I’m fully capable of handling these behaviors, and having this information upfront allows me to prepare appropriately and ensure a smooth, stress-free experience for both your pet and myself.

Ein typischer Tag

Your pet’s routine is entirely guided by your preferences. I’m committed to maintaining the care and schedule you already have in place to ensure consistency and comfort. If desired, I’m also happy to incorporate additional playtime, enrichment, or training sessions. I understand that every pet is unique—some are high-energy and thrive on activity, while others prefer a calm environment with plenty of cuddles. My goal is to adapt to your pet’s individual needs and personality.

Reliable Pet Care You Can Trust

Erfahrung in der Haustierbetreuung

*Please schedule everything through Rover. I tend to get booked quickly, so please request a booking as soon as you think you’ll need it. Thank you!* With more than 30 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, fish, smalI mammals, livestock, and reptiles (including large snakes)— I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid. Every animal I care for receives the same attention and affection I’ve given my own over the years. My background includes more than 22 years of service in both the U.S. Marines and Army, where I was annually certified as a Combat Lifesaver—the military equivalent of an Emergency Medical Responder. This role gave me extensive hands-on experience in trauma response, life-saving procedures, and medical care. I travel with a robust trauma kit and I always carry a stethoscope and pen light when working with mammals. I’ve found these skills apply effectively to pet care, particularly for animals with special medical needs. Should a medical emergency arise, I am fully equipped and trained to provide immediate, competent care until professional veterinary assistance is available. I am also proficient in administering medications—whether orally, intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection. In addition, I have substantial experience working with reactive and aggressive dogs. With advance notice, I can take a thoughtful, informed approach to ensure your pet feels safe, respected, and at ease.

Ben is great! I've used him frequently to do drop-in visits with my cat. He's very communicative and responds very quickly. My cat has a lot of medications including an inhaler so I'm an easily worried cat mom, but Ben is so good about making sure my cat gets everything he needs and Ben asks questions when needed which makes me feel even better. Whenever I'm out of town I'm more comfortable knowing my cat is in Ben's care.

Appreciated the updates and pics of the dog while I was away. Felt at ease the whole time and knew the pup was in good hands. Ben went above and beyond with keeping the apartment tidy

Ben did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were on a long vacation. It was our first time using Rover (and Ben) due to our senior dog getting too stressed when transitioning to our boarder. I was a little nervous at first since we were going on vacation for two weeks and it was our first time having Ben take care of the boys, but was quickly put at ease with Ben’s communicative nature and daily updates. On top of walking, playing fetch and loving on our boys, Ben kept a tidy house and helped water plants. He was able to manage our younger dog who can be leash reactive and was able to accommodate his walking needs. We will absolutely have Ben back to care of the boys!

Ben was fantastic! He reviewed my Bella’s profile in advance of arriving. He was courteous, attentive, and asked clarifying questions to make sure he took the best possible care of my dog. He even sent updates during the time he was watching her with photos. Definitely recommend and would trust him to watch her again.
