Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Animals feel safest in their own environment, so I follow your detailed instructions closely — including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs.
Information Ben P. would like to know about your pet
How well they get along with strangers and other animals. If there are anything's i should keep an eye on. Maybe if they are shoe chewers or if they have issues on holding their bladder.
A typical day
Walks and outdoor playtime Fetch, tug-of-war, or favorite games Puzzle toys and mental enrichment Plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time For more relaxed or senior pets: Gentle strolls Calm companionship Light play and enrichment Extra comfort and affection

Loving Care When You’re Not There
Pet care experience
Not Just a Pet Sitter — A True Animal Caregiver I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up caring for dogs and helping my parents raise chickens, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with farm animals including goats, pigs, cows, and sheep. I’ve helped with daily feeding, cleaning, health checks — and even assisted in delivering a baby lamb.Whether it’s your family dog or a small backyard flock, I provide dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are safe, comfortable, and treated like family.
Reviews
Ben and Sophie did an awesome job with my hyper and rabbit-obsessed pup! They were open to meeting before the stay and were happy and relaxed around her. They set up her bed at the window so she could critter-gaze during her stay and imagine how much fun it would be to chase all the rabbits and squirrels. They also took her to the park. If I were to suggest one thing it would be that I would have liked a few more updates in the morning because I was nervous about how she was doing, but this was a tiny thing. Thanks again!!
I have known Ben for a few years now and one thing that I know is he loves animals. Since day one he has jumped into helping on my farm and has even pulled a lamb. Every time we see a dog we both get so excited and immediately want to pet it. He is very good with all kinds of dogs and would give them all the love and attention they deserve!
