Highlights
Pet care experience
Thoughtful + deeply connected care!
I’m having surgery 4/24 and can provide 24/7 home care, minus PT! Since age 10, I have taken care of a variety of pets and ages. Thru awareness been able to retrain them to break habits, etc. that others said would be impossible ie coprophagia, anxiety, barking: to name a few.
Cat care experience
Ben also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a good listener to then ask great questions related to pet and home care. I believe it is important to keep consistency in our homes and with our pets too. Having a sitter adjust to the norms is expected so that pets are well taken care of.
Ratings and reviews
Ben is THE person to have watching your animal. He is very communicative, enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does (and Pinto loves him.)
Ben is an EXCEPTIONAL dog and home sitter! Our two dogs have very different personalities and he adjusted to their varying quirks and needs beautifully. Our younger dog is quite shy and he was very patient with her and met her at her comfort level, even if it changed throughout the day. His communication is also EXCELLENT! He confirmed the day prior to our departure, let us know he was able to get into our home, and gave us regular updates during our trip. Ben goes above and beyond and I will certainly be asking for his services again soon!
Ben took care of our dogs and house for 7 days and did a terrific job. We will definitely call on him again.
Excellent care of our home and pets! Excellent communication!
Ben took great care of our home and our puppy. When we met him in person, before our trip, he took extra time to talk to us, get to know our dog, and understand his routine and our home. Ben is kind, passionate about helping others and intelligent! He communicated regularly while we were gone and responded quickly if there was a question or if we were just checking in with him on how things were going. When we came home, the house was clean/ how we had left it and he even took off all the sheets on the bed to be washed. I would gladly have Ben back again for dog and house sitting!
Ben was awesome - video call on one day’s notice to walk Molly on Christmas. Took her for a run and even gave her a bath in the pet wash station of my apt. Definitely went above and beyond and was a delight!
