Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are better than people
I’ve taken care of pets for the last 10+ years (dogs & cats). I love big dogs and have grown up with german shepards my entire life - puppies and seniors. I love to do whatever makes your pup happy - walks, fetch, tug of war, belly rubs, or just chilling on the couch.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always follow client house rules. No dog on the couch - no problem. Trash day on Tuesday? Done. Happy to water plants, clean, and leave your home nicer than when you left it.
Ratings and reviews
Ben was great. He cared for Sophie, our high-energy German Shepherd mix for 10 days, in our home. He took great care of Sophie, and she liked him immediately. He did everything exactly as we asked, and took good care of our home as well. He sent photos of their walks and playtime every day, and always made us comfortable that things were going well. I would highly recommend Ben.
Ben was a house sitter for us and took care of our former German Shepherd several times. He is great with dogs, and was great with our dog. In addition to walking, feeding and playing with our dog, he also was able to handle medications and some skin issues for our dog while we were gone. He is dependable and trustworthy and he took care of our house and kept it clean while we were gone. We would definitely use Ben again to house sit and take care of our dog.
I have known Ben for a few years and can vouch that he is great with dogs large and small. As a vet tech, I can tell he truly goes the extra mile when it comes to his animals. His childhood dog was one of the happiest dogs I’ve ever met.

Schedule
I currently work in office Monday Wednesday Friday and can work remote at your place on Tuesday Thursday. I can take lunch at your place to take your pup out for fetch, a walk, etc for 30 minutes. On weekends I usually just go for a run or bike ride, so the longest your pup will be without company is 4 hours. The rest of the day is his/hers

- I am very accommodating of different dogs needs and routines. I have no problem giving medicine, certain foods, following certain bathroom routines, or their preferred walk/play area. It is helpful to know what medicine they take when, with or without food, how much exercise the need, when they need it, whether they are ok around people and/or dogs or not, or if the have any history of medical issues that I should be lookout for.
