I am happy to meet your dog’s specific needs. I don’t have any pets and so yours would get all the attention. My yard is not fenced, so I would do neighborhood walks and not let them out unsupervised. I have a big house, lots of toys and a can spoil your dog with attention.

Information Benjamin G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your dog’s needs are for exercise, what meds they need and whether they are generally comfortable with new people and places.

A typical day

I enjoy playing with dogs at home and out at the park. Depending on your dog's level of energy, I am happy to go on longer walks in the redwoods and the like. You tell me what they are into.

Pet care experience

I had dogs and cats throughout my childhood. At this point, my family doesn’t have any of our own, but I love being the go-to family for our friends to watch their pets when they go away. My kids (16 and 13) are obsessed with dogs and thus your pet would get lots of love and attention and play when they stay with me. I am well versed in giving meds, special food, special grooming needs, etc. Basically you’ll make me happy to watch your pet.

Ben and his family are awesome. They took such great care of Augustus and showered him with lots of love. I feel really good knowing my basset is in great care when he’s with Ben

Ben and his family are absolutely wonderful. They made our senior pittie feel right at home for his 4 night stay. We will definitely have Elliott stay with them again!
