Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving + responsible dog-whisperer!
Hey there! My name is Ben, and I'm originally from up north, Seattle. Ever since my parents brought me home from the hospital 20 years ago, there has always been a dog there to greet me at the door. My family absolutely loves Vizslas - we currently have 3 - so I definitely know how to handle high-energy dogs. Our first Vizsla lived to be 18 years old, so I have a lot of experience caring for senior dogs (and they will always hold a special place in my heart). I've also taken care of all 3 of our current dogs since they were puppies, so I have experience with all different ages. While I am used to trying to match my rambunctious pups' energy on walks, I am also a motivator of couch potatoes! I promise to be just as stubborn as your own little friend. That said, if you'd like me to try to get them extra exercise, I'd be willing to try jogging with them - just let me know! Overall, I hope to be a loving, observant, and friendly companion to your dog. Can't wait to meet them (and hopefully you)!

I will respect your pets and whatever environment you allow me access to with the same level of care and concern as if it were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Ben is an excellent “dog” person! And when plans go awry he is highly adaptable to not only hiccups in the house-sitting, but also with the pet-sitting arrangements. I have a very smart, 1/2 aussie shepherd-1/2 black lab
Had Ben fill in for a couple weeks while my other walker was gone. My dog instantly warmed up to him and he has great communication! Highly recommend!!
Ben has been reliable & seems happy to walk my dogger. He readily agreed to meet so that I could explain a few scheduling issues in person (& just because I like to meet my dog walkers).
Great experience! Our puppy got just what he needed - a walk, a bit of a play, and attentive care. We got what we needed - pictures, notice of when the walk started and ended, all of which helps when we cannot be home!
Ben took the time to read about my pup before walking him and sent adorable pics. Definitely would book again!
