I’m your guy if Spot needs love

Pet care experience

Most people would say I’m an only child, but I consider the three Golden Retrievers I grew up with my brothers. At a young age, I took responsibility for all walking and feeding. I also potty trained them as puppies and administered medical treatment in their older years. Neighbors entrusted me with caring for their cats and dogs—either staying in their home or making multiple house visits a day—while they were away. I know how loved our furry friends are and will go out of my way to ensure they receive the care and affection they deserve.

Highly recommended. Ben was super accommodating. He met with me the day before our booking and asked me about my dogs needs and house rules. I came back to a tidy home and a well fed, happy dog. My dog is pretty old and although he sleeps a lot he does require some extra support due to poor mobility. It was apparent that my dog had received much love and attention. Thank you Ben! I look forward to rebooking with you :)

Ben was very flexible and willing to take my cat Lydia in at a short notice. Would definitely book with him again.

Ben was easy to work with. Quick with communication and he was kind enough to make time with an in-person meet and greet that my dog feels comfortable with him when the house sitting started. I think they got along famously.

We have used Ben twice to watch our pups in our apartment. Ben is a fantastic sitter. My pups love him and he provides timely updates on how everything is going. He is very trustworthy and we will certainly use him again! Thanks Ben!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house of five young professionals (including myself) who are mature and active. We all love dogs and will never get tired of providing the attention your dog craves. We are fortunate to have large fenced-in and grassy yards. The back and front yards are connected by a side lawn, perfect for a dog who wants to do Zoomies around the house, LITERALLY. Unfortunately, one roommate is allergic to cats, and we are unable to board them at our place. I’m happy to come to your home to care for both cats and dogs.
