Highlights
Pet care experience
Grad student missing his dogs
My first sibling was my dog Casie and I’ve loved them ever since. I have had 30lb mixes to 120lb Newfoundland’s. I have been through the best and worst days with my dogs and will bring that same care and attention to yours whether they just need to run at the park or their pills and eye drops. I am a young professional who grew up in Colorado and have been in DC for 2 1/2 years now teaching civics and policy to students. I love going for bike rides, concerts, or whichever street fair is happening next. I’m happy to walk, play, visit, feed, or stay with your dogs as needed. Will be timely, communicative, and respectful of you and your dog’s needs. Have been walking and house sitting for people’s dogs since highschool. Thanks and looking forward to keeping your dogs happy and healthy.

Ratings and reviews
Benjamin is a phenomenal sitter and took great care of my dog while I was away for a week. He gave me frequent updates, went on hikes, followed all of my requests, and overall my pup had a great time while staying with Ben. I’m also so appreciative that he was flexible and accommodating when my schedule changed unexpectedly. I highly recommend him as a sitter!
Ben took the dogs hiking, shared photos of their fun and took great care of my home. I can tell they were pampered because when I arrived home they were not begging for any affection. Thank you Ben! you are welcome back anytime.
Benjamin took great care of my dog! She stayed with him for a few days and looked right at home in all the updates he sent. I think they both made a good new friend. 🙂
Ben was awesome! He took amazing care of our two furry family members and gave us daily updates. Very responsive and kind too!!
Absolutely incredible to work with. Super responsive, attentive, and communicative. Understands the needs of my doggo and gives him all the love and affection while I’m away for work. Grateful for Ben and his time!
Benjamin was very patient with our dog, who takes a little bit of time to warm up to people. I would definitely use his services again.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will be fully attentive to them, playing or petting to their content. Just like a child, I would keep an eye on them and make sure I knew where they were at all times. Always keeping an eye on the last time they were out and that their water bowl is full. Otherwise, happy to be around and have them sitting nearby.
A typical day
Can take your dog for a walk or play fetch at the dog park. Will clean up after them and make sure they don’t get into any trouble. Warning: might purposefully induce their zoomies.
