Southern Hospitality for your Pooch

Pet care experience

Deutsch/English… This is really more of an opportunity for me to play with your dog, than for you to find someone to watch them ;) I would love to own a dog, but I must travel for work too often to have one. This gives me and the dogs an opportunity to have some fun together :) I enjoy cuddles, communication, and cantering through the forest. With a prime location near the Heiligenberg and a love for teaching tricks like ‘play dead’, you dog is sure to have a great time! I also love sending photos and videos as constant updates :)

Haben das erste Mal über Rover eine Urlaubsbetreuung für unseren Bob gebucht und waren anfangs etwas skeptisch. Aber schon beim ersten Kennenlernen sind wir mit einem sehr guten Gefühl wieder nach Hause und haben dann direkt gebucht. Wir sind 200% zufrieden!!! Ben hat uns regelmäßig Bilder und Nachrichten geschickt und so konnten wir unseren Urlaub,ohne Bedenken genießen. Wir waren zu jedem Moment sicher,dass es unserem kleinen Schatz bei ihm sehr gut geht. Ist mit Sicherheit nicht das letzte Mal gewesen. Tausend Dank an Ben.

Unsere Paula hat sich bei Ben super wohl gefühlt! Er hat sich liebevoll um sie gekümmert, und wir hatten jederzeit ein gutes Gefühl. Man merkt sofort, dass er ein Herz für Hunde hat und viel Erfahrung mitbringt. Wir hoffen, dass wir Paula noch öfter bei ihm abgeben dürfen – absolute Empfehlung!

Ben hatte uns spontan helfen können und war sehr kommunikativ, flexibel, freundlich. Cielo schien sehr zufrieden zu sein, genug Aufmerksamkeit und zu Zuneigung bekommen zu haben (und er braucht sehr sehr viel davon). Kann ich gut weiterempfehlen.

Es war meine erste Erfahrung mit einer Hundebetreeung. Ben hat mich von Anfang an immer informiert mit schönen Fotos und sich sehr gut gekümmert. Auch Ema war sehr zufrieden. Vielen Dank!

Since I am really doing this to be able to play with dogs when I am not on business trips, your dog will have the time of their life and be well cared for. I’m happy to send constant updates or whatever you need during the time away from your dog.

Information Ben T. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs that are more cuddly or playful. High or low energy is fine. Not a fan of dogs with long hair or slobbery dogs (licking is okay).

A typical day

Prefer to wake up after 7, but am easily convinced to get up earlier if a dog is around. Quick walk, work til lunch, lunch, lunch walk, work, dinner, bouldering, couch cuddle, quick walk, sleep (cuddling with dog preferred :) )

As I often do Homeoffice during the week, it’s easy for me to walk in the morning, during lunch, after work, or before bed. On weekends, we will either go hiking in the forest or end up watching a movie and playing catch on the couch (if it rains) :)
