Dedicated fur baby lover
Pet care experience
🐾 My Pet Care Journey: I’ve been a proud pet parent for two years to a spirited Mini Australian Shepherd-Labradoodle mix, Chip. My journey with pets began in childhood, growing up with a family dog, and my love for animals has only grown since. 🏡 Experience in Pet and House Sitting: Over the years, I’ve built a reputation as a reliable house sitter for friends from church and work, starting in middle school and continuing through college. 🐶 Special Skills and Training: As a nurse, I bring a unique set of skills to pet care, including the ability to administer medications to dogs. I’ve successfully completed the AKC Star puppy course with Chip, and I’m well-versed in puppy care and training techniques.
Reviews
Benjamin did an amazing job with our puppy. He is super responsive, and took great care of our dog and sent lots of great pictures!
One word…AWESOME!!! It was our first time leaving our girls with someone they didn’t know. Benjamin stayed at our home and treated them like princesses. Our future trips we will definitely check with him and hope he's available to spend time at our home with our girls. No doubt about it! Thank you so much, Benjamin!!!
Benjamin was a great host for my dog Dakota! He sent many pictures and updates each day to give me an idea of how my pup was doing while I was away on a work trip. He was even flexible when I had to extend by a day due to changes on my trip. Highly recommend

As a dedicated pet owner and work-from-home professional, pet care is a central and joyous part of my everyday routine. My day is structured to include regular breaks, not just for my own benefit, but primarily to attend to fur baby needs. This routine includes playing with my dog, Chip, in our apartment’s dog park and taking leisurely walks in the nearby large park. The flexibility of my home-based work allows me to be consistently present and attentive to pets under my care, ensuring they receive ample playtime, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. My approach to pet care is holistic, blending my nursing skills for any medical needs, my experience in puppy training for behavioral guidance, and my natural love for animals to provide a nurturing, safe, and fun environment for them. In essence, pet care is not just a task in my daily life; it’s a fulfilling and integral part of it, enriching each day with joy and purpose.
