Highlights
Pet care experience
Foster and Rescue Dog and Cat Dad
I've taken care of dogs and cats (often at the same time) since I was old enough to hold the leash and walk with one of my childhood family pups Hershey on my own. My spouse (Paroma) and I have fostered and rescued dogs and cats of all ages and sizes -- from rambunctious puppies and kittens to senior fospice (foster hospice) cats and dogs -- since 2018. We currently have a Pitty-mix (Mako) our long-legged Jack Russell terrier/Chihuahua/Corgi (Boris) and a sweet orange cat named Cathulu (or Cat, for short). Our animal care philosophy is simple: when your animal is with us, I (we) ensure they know they're loved, well-fed, and have plenty of play time, walks, and/or good company, no matter where they are.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, two sweet dogs and a cat to keep your creature company. If your dog or cat prefers their own space, I will absolutely ensure they have it in our home. When we schedule an appointment, I will gladly schedule a complimentary "meet and greet" for your pet(s) and I to get to know each other. During our "meet and greet," I'll ask you all of the questions related to your lovely pet's care. No "special need" or "quirk" will surprise me, so please feel free to share anything and everything with me as we meet and greet. I would be honored to take care of your sweet pet. They're family: they deserved to be treated like it.
Ratings and reviews
Ben took excellent care of our dog, Ernie - he sent detailed updates and was very patient with our quirky rescue! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and thorough dog sitter!
Ben was great!
Ben is fantastic! He is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of our pets. We always feel completely comfortable knowing everything is in good hands and really appreciate the updates along the way. He’ll even change your smoke alarm batteries while you’re out. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Ben was fantastic! Starting with our meet & greet, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and more importantly that he was prepared to give the best possible care to my pet which he absolutely did. I so appreciated his daily notes and photos and could tell how comfortable and safe my cat felt with him. I would absolutely rebook!
I am extremely particular and protective of my 2 pugs as well as all the dogs throughout my life. There are very few people I would trust to care for any of my furry friends. Ben has always been around animals and not only is he extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring and strong but he is like a dog whisperer in the way he connects with animals! He truly is extraordinary and your sweet pet would be lucky to have Ben care for them! He is the BEST!
Ben is very dependable and is amazing with animals. He has experience with senior pets (including managing meds), but can easily match the high energy of a younger pup/kitten as well. He's great at managing the needs of multiple pets at once. Cannot recommend his services enough!
