To Be Your Dog’s Best Bud
Pet care experience
I have owned beagles since I was 4 years old, I started walking the dogs in my neighborhood when I was 8 years old, then when I was in high school I started house sitting as well. I have volunteered at Oregon Humane Society and fostered dogs in the past as well. It’s important for me to provide the best care that I can, that the pets I care for feel safe and loved with me, and that I can be an extension of their family.
Reviews
Did a great job
Came home to a very happy puppy. Highly recommend Benjamin.
I can’t thank Benjamin enough for helping me with my wild puppy Bunny! He’s knowledgeable, calm, and supportive. My little pup loved snuggling and relaxing with him and it really took a lot off of my plate! I’ll definitely be checking to see if he’s available when I need another booking.
Ben was a great communicator before, during, and after our visit. He watched Penny over the fourth of july and the fireworks were stressful for our dog. He handled it really well and was checking in with us to help manage her stress. Would definitely book again!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have an 11 year old beagle named Shiloh. I have firm boundaries in place (mainly no begging for food/ no human food), he stays in the back seat while we’re in the car (he even has a seatbelt), he gives people and dogs their space when they need it, but I do spoil him as well with multiple daily walks (2-3 times) and I take him to our nearby dog park every other day, we go on weekend day trips exploring the PNW, and he gets plenty of treats throughout the week. He’s also been sleeping with me since the day I brought him home at 3 months old. Again, it’s really important to me that animals feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care (but in general as well)

Information Benjamin H. would like to know about your pet
Whether they have separation anxiety, need medication, and if they are friendly with other dogs. I want to make sure that I’m able to keep to your pets’ typical routine so that don’t have to deal with unnecessary stress.
A typical day
When it comes to my day with Shiloh, we go on walks, feed him, go to our local dog park or explore Oregon (beach/hikes), and lots of cuddles. When I’m with your pet, I’ll do treat them the same as if they were my own, so lots of walks/adventures if able to and lots of cuddles.

Availability
I work part time at a Montessori school (11am-4:30pm) and I’m off of school for the summer, so my schedule is really flexible and easy to accommodate when providing care for others.
