Information Ben V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pet needs special treatment, or has behavioral issues, and any commands or rules I need to follow. For example - you don’t let you pets on furniture, I will keep that rule and will not allow pets on furniture at clients request.

A typical day

There is plenty of things to do for pets around my area. I take them to the park, or walk them around the neighborhood, that is all sidewalks. There is a lighthouse point park near me. My dog loves the beach around the corner that is dog friendly so we go there a lot. My yard is fenced in as well. I am willing to travel as well.

A Pup a Day Keeps Bad Vibes Away

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets growing up including rabbits, cats, and dogs. I was responsible at an early age to care for animals in order to keep them under my parents roof. I’ve been trusted to dog sit for extended periods of time through the rover app, by friends, & family when they go on vacations or whenever they need it. I’m currently a dog owner of a 55 lbs golden retriever named stanley. I love all animals and willing to walk, dog sit, or board all sizes, or whatever your needs may be. My golden is very friendly and loves all things! I currently work from home 3 days a week. Weekends I’m free and take my dog for walks/adventures. Everyday, I take Stan man (my golden) for a walk in the morning, lunch, and before and after he eats. While letting them play outside in my fenced in yard. Both stan and I would love some company! I have a fenced in yard for play time! My pupper can keep your little one company. I can also crate if needed or I have a big room exclusively for pups that can be closed off by a gate, if you want your dog confined to one room. My pup is about 55 lbs and is very friendly and always eager to meet new friends, as am I!
