Pet care experience

Love dogs - need fix!

I have previously owned and cared for several dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, snakes, turtles, birds, ferrets and an iguana. Pet care is in my blood! Prior to 2018, we owned a beautiful labradoodle for 10 years, then had to adopt him out before moving back to America. We miss him dearly! Your dog would immediately be drenched in love and cuddles by our three young boys (5,8 and 9), and have a lot of fun playing with them too.

I can’t say enough great things about Ben and his family! We were in a pinch to find a sitter last minute for July 4 weekend for our 15 year old schnauzer. And wow did we hit the jackpot! Thank you Ben and your family for giving Max so much love and keeping us updated. We are so grateful to have met you!

Ben and his family watched our very energetic 1 year old Bernedoodle, Kody, for a week while we were away. We were very comfortable knowing that he was being played with and well cared for. He came home happy and exhausted, so we know he was having fun. We will definitely recommend Ben and will not hesitate to use him again!

Coco loved staying with Ben and his family for 6 days while we went away. She’s used to having a busy family around her and loves people, so the situation was perfect with their 3 sweet boys to play with her and give her love and attention. Such a nice family, great with dogs, and very trustworthy. Ben’s wife sent me pictures and updates on Coco and also got a tick off of her! I already knew she was in good hands, but felt even more reassured by the occasional communication. I’m so happy we didn’t have to board Coco and will definitely be requesting Ben’s services again!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced yard, hardwood floors (easy mess cleanups!), a park nearby and a very dog- friendly neighborhood. We have looked after over 20 dogs both in Rover and outside of it with rave reviews!

A typical day

Typical day is where we get up at 6am, and get our three boys ready for school. Then they get on the bus at 7am. My wife then usually works from home and I head to the office. The boys get back at 3:30pm, and I’m normally home by 5pm. We love to walk dogs on our street, or around the lake behind our house!

We really just need to know how and where the dog usually sleeps, eats and goes to the bathroom. Things like preferred toys and games they live to play are great to know too!
