Trained vet tech and experienced!

Pet care experience

I have spent my whole life working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have a BS in animal and nutritional sciences. I have worked as a veterinary technitian off and on for about three years which makes me uniquely qualified to care for pets that have special needs, such as elderly dogs or dogs that require in-home medical treatment. While in college, I trained service dogs for disabled veterans, and trained 'aggressive' pit bulls to help them find homes. I have also spent time working at a dog kennel, so I can handle any situation that these dogs will throw at me. For now, I'll only be able to work mornings M-F for walks, and any day for overnight pet sitting. I'm confident that I'll have a blast with your furry friend

I first met Ben while working together as veterinary technicians. I always admired Ben's genuine care for all of the animals that he treated, as well as his advanced veterinary medical skills. Working in a very large, multi-doctor animal hospital and emergency clinic, we were required to be on top of our game 100% of the time. We were trained in how to care for healthy, sick and even emergency cases. One of the doctors gave a CPR class and we were given the opportunity to practice our CPR skills on canine models. Ben is also one of the most dedicated pet owners that I have ever known, and the only friend I have ever trusted to "baby-sit" my own dog. He is responsible, reliable and an extremely hard worker, as seen by his bachelors and masters degrees, that were obtained while working for years as a veterinary technician. With his honest passion for animals and advanced veterinary skills, there are truly no better hands to leave your pets in than his!

Ben Stewart has been helping me with my 2 dogs since he was a young boy. As he has grown, so has his love for all animals, especially dogs, and it shows in his care and concern for all the dogs in his charge. His experience working in a vet's office and his animal science education gives him an additional level of knowledge I find to be comforting when I leave my pets with him. Ben is trust-worthy and reliable will always be sure your pet has the very best care while he is in charge.
