Pet care experience

Energetic, reliable, dog lover

I've grown up around dogs and love to spend time with them! My family first got a dog when I was in the 1st grade and I've had one ever since. Currently, my wife and I have a German Shepherd/Husky mix that we love to play play with, take on walks, and go to parks together. She is my 2nd rescue and we love spending every day with her! I have experience with all sizes of dogs: small, medium, and large. I enjoy walking, running with them, playing outside with them ect. We have a fenced in backyard and plenty of room for your dogs to run around outside. Thanks for considering me to take care of your four-legged friends! -Ben

Ben and his wife took great care of my pup! They took her on walks, played ball with her, sent me a photo daily, etc. They are very kind people, and I would be happy to use them again.

We love to walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail, go around Furman, or Conestee Dog Park. I also enjoy running with dogs around my neighborhood. We go on walks or throw the tennis ball with her frequently.
