Safety, trust & environment

When I am in your home I care for your pet how you would if you were there. Tell me what do to make your pet the happiest and more comfortable they can be!

Information Benjamin H. would like to know about your pet

For me, it’s important to know your pets daily routines: walking route, meal times, favourite toys etc. Beyond that: any medical or health concerns, behavioural quirks or concerns (especially friendliness to other people and pets). Or any other information pertinent to your pets well being and fun!

A typical day

My priority is to follow your pets lead! What are the routines they are used to and enjoy? The goal is to make your comfortable with me and for myself to accommodate to your pets life. Long walks, fetch, relaxing, car rides (I have a car), play time/dates, or any requests.

A new friend for your best friend!

Pet care experience

From caring for pets with hip dysplasia, diabetes, strict diets, or just quirky personalities! I’ve had my share of experiences, and I have learned the following: staying calm, remembering to laugh, and an extra treat can go a long way. In my care, your pet will have undivided attention and fun, get lots of love and tummy rubs, and probably listen to me vent about life (what are friends for right?)

Benjamin was amazing with our three dogs. They are not often left alone which caused a bit of nervousness (from them and also me!) Benjamin sent pictures during the evening and was always quick and professional when responding. Our most nervous dog was sitting on the couch with him shortly after we left! We definitely recommend Benjamin any time!

Another vacation away for us and another week Charlie our Golden retriever got to spend with Benjamin. Charlie seems to really enjoy his time with Ben. We highly recommend Ben for your house sitting and dog walking needs

Benjamin stayed at our house for 2 weeks looking after our Golden retriever Charlie. Everything went well and as planned. Charlie and Ben are now great friends, This is a great way to go on vacation and have your pet looked after. We highly recommend Benjamin if your looking for a sitter for your dog.

Ben has been so great with our two dogs, we’re so happy to have found him! We are on week two of regular walks and will happily continue to book with him as needed. Highly recommend, he’s easy going and flexible and our dogs love going for walks with him.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
