Pet care experience

Dog's best friend!

My last two dogs were rescues that made it to 16 and 17 years old, and my current puppy was born at the end of June in 2023. I have been working with my new puppy and she already knows over a dozen tricks and commands, is kennel and house trained, and has begun socializing with other dogs at the dog parks. We home cook her meals and when we run out of store-bought biscuits, we are going to make those at home, too.

Benjamin took real good care of my dog, I would recommend him to anyone that needs a pet sitter! My mind was at ease since I was updated daily with photos:)

This was our first Rover stay, and it was super easy and worked out great! Ben took such great care of our little fur baby, Kirby, and made sure he had the time and space he needed to get comfortable with both him and the other dogs. Ben was very flexible, and kept us updated throughout our trip with texts and photos, which gave us peace of mind. We also really appreciated the meet-and-greet beforehand, it made us feel confident leaving Kirby in his care. We're so grateful to Ben for treating Kirby like one of his own. We would book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you, Ben!

Schedule

My schedule is relatively open. Gig work allows me to stay off disability as I'm able to work when my condition allows and to take time off when needed. Pet care is relatively easy for me to do (no heavy lifting, only heavy pulling haha)

Benjamin can host up to 2 pets per night
I am open to dogs of all levels of needs, including special needs dogs. My rescues taught me that even the most timid dog can blossom into the center of attention of a home.
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.
