Safety, trust & environment

I adopted a bird a few years ago and have loved taking care of her. She is a cockatiel, and takes certain weekly/monthly maintenance requirements, which shows I'm careful in what I do. Myself being also a fit athletic person makes me a good fit for all size dogs and cats, which I have experience working with at my local animal shelter.

Information Ben S. would like to know about your pet

it is important to know if it’s had unstable behaviors in the past. Also the age and any behavior concerns currently. It’s also good to know if it’s used to other dogs or not.

A typical day

I have several tennis balls I would use to play fetch. Will guarantee .5 miles every walk! Being a runner I would also go on walks and jogs consistently. Another option I have is going to the lake if there’s one close by.

BS in Animal Science, Bird Owner!

Pet care experience

I have a BS in Animal Science and have 2 years direct experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, as well as received Volunteer of the Year award during that time. I've walked dogs, changed cats litter, fed rabbits, and made sure all animals in the shelter had fresh food and water, as well as clean spaces. I’ve always had a caring heart for animals, and am looking forward to taking care of you and your beloved pets!

Easy five stars. I'd give more stars if there was an option. After my initial person fell through, Ben, day-of, accepted my request to drop in 3 times a day. Ben was punctual, thorough, and very caring. He went above and beyond. I feel extremely comfortable and confident in recommending Ben to anyone out there!

Ben is great!! My dog is a rescue and can be a bit skittish around strangers especially men, but Jethro isn’t scared seems to really like Ben and enjoys his visits with him. Ben has been walking and playing with my dog during visits and really trying to get to know my dog. I appreciate everything he has done and will continue booking him for weekly visits. Ben is definitely five stars!!

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.
