Highlights
Pet care experience
Military/DoD Certified Dog Handler
I bring a unique level of experience and professionalism to pet care, shaped by over two decades of service as a U.S. Marine and certified dog handler. I’ve deployed to Afghanistan as a combat dog handler, later serving as a trainer and kennel master, where I was responsible for the care, training, and performance of working dogs in high-stress environments. I also hold training certifications from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as well as specialized credentials through the ATF and Department of Defense. This background not only taught me advanced skills in training puppies and adult dogs, but also in providing attentive care for senior and special-needs dogs. Above all, I bring patience, discipline, and a genuine love for animals—treating every dog I work with as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My current residence is enclosed by a fence with a nice yard and patio area in a calm neighborhood by the pier in San Clemente, close to the beach and trails.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent job walking my dog and was very reliable. Would use again!
Amazing!!! Total last minute emergency Needed someone to come take our 100 lb puppy out for a long walk. We were nervous due to our dogs size and youth. I loved seeing Ben’s training history with dogs- I definitely felt that Gus would be in qualified hands Ben responded immediately! He came to our house and was in time. We asked if he could take our pup for a jog and Ben delivered!!!!! I couldn’t be more grateful
Benjamin is friendly and reliable. He is knowledgeable about dogs and handles my exuberant springer spaniel skillfully.
Ben is fantastic! Went above and beyond expectations and is reliable, friendly and knowledgeable. Will become my go to for walks and stays. Thanks again!
Friendly, honest, and very knowledgable!
Benjamin was great! Helped us out in a pinch. Scout loved him

Schedule
I retired from active duty this year and I am a full time student, but I’m generally flexible in most situations and can work through challenges.
