Love your dog as they love you!

Pet care experience

I have grown up around dogs my whole life, I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up until I realized how much schooling it was, still love dogs though. My social media consists of pictures of 50% me and 50% my dog. I spoil my dog, and since shes not at school with me I need to find a way to get my fix of dogs another way. I have class for a couple hours a day, but I realize that your dog has needs just like anything else, my plan would be to go to class then tend to your dogs needs accordingly. My situation gives me the flexibility to spend a ton of time with your dog while I work on my schooling. Meet me and you will understand my love for your furry friend!

Ben was amazing. He was very responsive and very flexible dealing with our crazy schedule. He took excellent care of Dusty and had a great time with him. Will recommend him every time.

Ben took good care of our family dog, Chase, while we where traveling. Chase received lots of attention which is what he needed. We would recommend Ben for your dog setting needs.

Benjamin was THE most understanding and accommodating person. My trip ended up being unpredictable and he was so sweet about it. He sent me a picture of my anxious pup curled up sleeping on his bed and I could tell she felt loved and secure. I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely use him in the future!

Information Benjamin D. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer to know if they do not like men, if they are naturally defensive, if they need any special medication, if they like peanut butter lollipops (spoonfuls of peanut butter) and if they usually eat their meals early or later throughout the day. If you have a spaniel please pick me! I love spaniels, my first dog I remember was a Field Spaniel named Snickers, after my grandparents English Cocker Spaniel named Hershey! Now I have a Welsh Springer Spaniel named Kenzie!

A typical day

I love walks on and around JMU's campus, Shenandoah national park, and around the borough of Harrisonburg! If needed your pup can ride in my car anywhere we need to go! I have not had an accident so please know I will treat your dog as my own. If your dog likes to socialize, a few of my friends have dogs that they can befriend too!
