I am a full time teacher currently working Tuesday to Friday. That is why I am only available Saturday to Monday, but I have all day and night available. I like to stay busy when I am off of work so I am very ready to take on new clients when I can work Saturday to Monday.

Safety, trust & environment

While I am doing drop in visits I like to walk the dog around the neighborhood. I also like to do whatever I can to help the dog know and understand they are in safe and good hands. If they want to play I am a very high energy person and would love to play as long as I’m there. I like to play peaceful and calming music while I’m there to help the dog as well. I fill up food and water bowls if needed before I leave.

Let me know anything I can do more when I am helping your dog. I will take and send pictures as well. I will text to see if any needs need to be met as well.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long scenic walks that will allow them to smell new smells, see new landscapes and meet new friends along the way. I bring a water bottle that has a water bowl attached to it for water breaks to keep the dogs hydrated. When I do drop in visits I love to help the dog know that I am a trusting individual. I give lots of comfort, care and love. I do whatever I can to help the dog know he/she is safe and in good hands. I like to walk them around their neighborhood and refill water or food once we get back. I also like to play peaceful and calming music while I am around to help the dog as well.

Pet care experience

I have always known deep down that I am a dog whisperer (not officially), but I like to think so. I love all animals. Ever since I was a younger fellow I knew my life purpose was to help out and care for animals and people alike. I grew up having grandparents that had their own farm with a variety of different animals. Ever since I can remember I was helping them out on the farm caring for their animals. In doing so it made me want a dog of my own and so I started out with one of the smallest dogs ever who had a very manly name of Maximus, my family called him Max for short. He helped me to realize how genuine and important life can be. From then on I have met my soulmate annd we have an amazing yorkie (Rosie), and a beautiful red and white husky (Arie). When I heard that I can make friendly and fair wages of my own on Rover for pet sitting and pet care I immediately signed up and am looking very forward to caring for every dog that I can in the best ways that I can.

Benjamin has been fantastic. My boys love him and Eggsy really enjoys his walks with him when I’m at work. I know they’re loved and in good hands.

Benjamin is a very caring Petsitter, and has fun dogs for my dog to Play with in a safe fenced yard. He was very flexible in watching my dog kind of last minute as we had a party at our house. Picked her back up late at night, which was no problem for him. Highly recommend.

Working with Benjamin and his girlfriend Eva was fantastic! It was easy to figure out logistics and our pups had a blast! They were very flexible with our arrival and departure time, and even took our dogs to the dog park for a bit. Would recommend to anyone!
