Friendly and active dog lover

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs in my home. My wife and I currently live on 5 acres in Monroe and have three dogs, a 5 year old male Lab mix, Doug, a 5 year old female Vizsla, Kevin, and a 9 year old male Bloodhound mix, Bender. Our dogs have always been treated as members of the family. We are avid runners/hikers and enjoy taking dogs with us on the trails. Shorter less challenging options are also available for senior/special needs dogs. I would be happy to take your dogs with me to an off leash area to play catch or chase other dogs if that is preferable. I will do my best to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for your loved ones while you are away. My Experience Administering Medications: I have administered topical medications to dogs numerous times throughout my time as a dog owner. My senior dog, Bender, requires daily oral medication which I am more than comfortable delivering. One of our previous dogs had Diabetes and required subcutaneous injections, which we delivered twice daily.

Ben took great care of our Okie while we were gone. We returned to a well fed happy dog! I would highly recommend his services to all!

Ben was wonderful! with our son's dog Bruno, a very active English lab. My husband and I were taking care of Bruno for a couple of weeks. With my husband at work Bruno needed more exercise; Ben came to the rescue. After their 1st meeting, Bruno would greet Ben each time with happy yelping dropping the toy he always brought to show Ben. The two of them would go on walks, throw/catch a Frisbee, and have a good time. Thanks Ben!

Bailey had a lot of fun playing with Bend three dogs along with the enjoyment of free roaming on his land. When I play out him he n the car he went right to sleep so I know he must have played a lot!

Information Ben S. would like to know about your pet

Most importantly I would like know how your dog behaves with other dogs? As the animals safety is our main concern. Additionally, I would like to know if he/she has any allergy or health concerns? Are than an other quirks we should know about: i.e. digging, barking at strangers, etc...?

A typical day

There are plenty of safe dog friendly neighborhood walks on Squak Mountain, as well as, numerous hiking trails to explore. Our fenced in back yard also makes for a great place to play in the "mini dog park"
