Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pets with as much respect and love as I would another pet or person because that's what they deserve. It matters how we treat them- they of course have their own personality and and want to be themselves. Maybe they want some affection, or a walk, or to play with a toy, or to sniff that thing, or maybe they just want to nap alone. My goal is for them to be happy and relaxed. It's the little things- like how most pets like to come up to you and sniff your hand when they meet you (not be picked up or petted). Or, some dogs really like eye contact and being talked to- that's something I can instantly pick up on so they can feel comfortable. Of course, I have no problem telling them no if something is off-limits or if we are discouraging a behavior/training them.

Information Ben V. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate any specific requests or needs. Please let me know ahead of time if there is anything I should be aware of.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and give lots of affection if those are things your pet likes. If your pet enjoys naps, well, I love naps too, no problem! For those energetic doggos, there is nothing I love more than getting on the ground with them and matching their energy.

I'll Love Them Like My Own

Pet care experience

I've lived with and taken care of animals my whole life—small and big dogs, cats, affectionate pets, pets that like their distance, those with health problems/medications, and those who just want a ton of love! Before pet sitting & Rover, I completed some medical school at U of A and spent years as case manager. Taking care of people—or pets—has always been my natural calling. I take pride in doing a great job and being reliable.

Ben was so patient and gentle with ziti when they first met, and I felt comfortable with him immediately. He communicated clearly about everything, left my home super clean, and took great care of my kitty. Thank you so much, Ben!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
