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 was very communicative with me throughout the stay. He sent pictures and video which was very enjoyable. The communication was superb, and timely.

As always, Ben took great care of our boy. He gave us daily updates and we were happy knowing he was in good hands.

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.
