Highlights
Pet care experience
active & outdoorsy w.f.h. dog dad
Growing up we always had at least two family dogs, which we were required to take care of as part of our childhood chore routine. Throughout adulthood, I've cared for a number of family and friends' at different points, including my brother's dog (Tuuli's mom) multiple times while he was deployed oversees for 6+ months at a time. I have a soft spot for dogs with big, bold and strong personalities (i.e., stubborn and willful); I've thoroghly love these independent types and have trained many since puppyhood, teaching them how to have manners but letting them still be the dogs they were bred to be.

Ratings and reviews
Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben
Lil and Willmsi were happy and exhausted after a fun morning with Ben and his other pups! Thanks Ben for caring for our pups!
Ben does a great job! Betsey always has a good time and she is always excited to go to his house for daycare.
Chimmy had a great stay with Ben! He took her on a camping adventure, got her outside for plenty of exercise and fun, and she enjoyed the company of Tuuli. We were able to enjoy a weekend away knowing our dog was in great hands. We hope to book with Ben again! Thank you.
Ben is great, awesome communication and gave Nahku a super fun and active day!
Ben and Tuuli are the best! My pup was so stoked every time we pulled up to Ben’s house and I knew that he’d be having a great day with them. He was happy and tired after full days of play and walks. Ben is incredibly easy going and responsible. I never had a worry leaving Woody in Ben’s care and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter!

Schedule
I work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup the attention they need. Together Tuuli and I stay very active; you can often find us running or biking in the Rattlesnake to burn off energy during the week, and weekend adventuers in the mountains keep us busy. Because we're weekend warriors weekend sitting is best with dogs that are athletic and used to time on trails... if so happy to take your pup along for the ride!
