Lover of all animals big and small!

Pet care experience

Animals have been a part of my life since I was born. My parents rescued two big lovable doberman and they were my guardians growing up. We then rescued three stray cats after the dogs passed away. Those cats lived a loving and happy life at home with me and my parents. I have watched neighbors, coaches, and family members animals since I was old enough to drive. Big dogs, little dogs, cats you name it, I love them all! Currently, I am a graduate student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities studying Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Counseling. My classwork is primarily online for the time being, so this makes me the perfect candidate to take care of your precious pet! It is important for me to ensure the safety and health of the animal(s) that are in my care. Meeting and greeting with their owners is important to establish the appropriate care guidelines as well as making sure we will be a proper fit for each other! The owners know what is best for their animals and their special needs.

Benjamin is a great guy and truly stellar with animals!. Our dog was spoiled with tons of play time - frisbee games, tug of war and walks. When we arrived home, our dog didn't even greet us at the door - he was happy and content next to his new best friend. Ben was very communicative throughout his stay, which is something we asked for - given that this was their first day together and he made sure that he left our house tidy - which is just the cherry on top. As much as I hate to tell the world how awesome Ben is and risk the chance of him becoming to busy to come back, I feel like it's my duty :). We have found our sitter! Thank you so much, Ben!

Ben has worked for me for 7 years and throughout that time he has taken care of my dog Buster a lot. Ben is one of the most reliable, caring people I know. He is a lover of all creatures and one of the most responsible people there is. Buster is my life and I couldn't think of a better person to watch over him while I'm away. Whoever gets Ben to look after their dog is a lucky person indeed.

Ben took care of my sweet monster while I was out of town for two separate weeks, and was a wonderful pet sitter. I would absolutely trust him to not only be in my home, but of course to take wonderful care of my cat, anytime. He took care of a feeding schedule, litter box maintenance, and even sent me occasional fun photos while I was traveling to ensure that I knew that my little guy was being well taken care of. Ben is a hard worker and an honest, trustworthy young man who I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with for four years; anybody would be lucky to have him looking after their animal.

Ben is SO wonderful with animals!! He has watched our 2 cats and 2 dogs numerous times and for days at a time. Our animals love him! The dogs go right to him with tails wagging like crazy. He is a very dependable person and will treat your animals like his own. I always feel that our pets are in great hands with him. They are always so happy when he comes over. He will send me pictures and updates on how they are doing, putting my mind at ease while we are away. We used to board our dogs before we found Ben. I am so happy to have him watch our animals instead of boarding them! Very trustworthy! We will definitely continue to use Ben for our dog/cat sitting and walking.  Highly recommended! We love Ben!
