Ben is an excellent candidate for a service like Rover. Throughout his life, Ben has always been attentive to dogs’ needs and had dogsit for my family on numerous occasions. Ben became even more involved with caring for dogs during college, as he was an active member in the Illini Service Dog organization on the University of Illinois campus. Illini Service Dogs is an organization where students train and care for dogs from the time they are puppies, with the goal of matching them with someone with physical or mental disabilities that requires the companionship and aid of a service animals. Ben helped train these dogs to perform special household tasks, such as opening doors, retrieving items, and turning on lights. Ben was such a great caregiver that he even became the primary caretaker of one of these dogs. This was a huge responsibility, as Ben was responsible for not only taking care of the future service dog, but he needed to ensure the dog stayed on track in completing the service dog certification milestones. Ben exceeded all expectations, delivering exceptional care for the dog and made sure he stayed on track to becoming a certified service animal. I’ve never met anyone so passionate for the care and wellbeing of dogs as Ben. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a dogsitter and believe he would be an excellent addition to Rover!
