About Benjamin M.

I am a BIG fan of taking photos of your dog. I may not be the best photographer, but I always have the best subjects so that makes up for it. I love to spend time outside with them whenever possible. Their potty time usually also includes a 5-10 minute "sniffari" for your pet to have outside time and me to get some steps in. After all requested activities are done, I spend the rest of the time playing with your pets.
Information Benjamin M. would like to know about your pet
We are a downstairs apartment and do have upstairs neighbors. Sometimes you can hear them walking around above us. Also our neighbors love pets as well and will probably want to pet and love your dog.
A typical day
We have a large walking area around our complex that is both paved and grassy. All of our complex outside of the direct walkways and streets are all lawn as well. Because the complex is very dog friendly, there is plenty of places to take your dogs on a "Sniff-ari" and can also potentially meet other dogs. I do plenty of play time with dogs as well including tug of war, fetch, and have plenty of knowledge on enrichment activities and puppy puzzles with plenty of rewards.

Big guy loves big dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi all, I am here to care for your big dog needs! I was very lucky to get to spend 15 years with my Chewie, until he recently went to the Rainbow Bridge. He was a German Shepard/Husky/Chow mix, with a ton of personality, who I care for since he was a few weeks old. I am familiar with senior dogs, and medication regimens. I am looking to be able to care for them by visiting them for walks/feeding/snacks/fun! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Reviews
Ben is a fantastic pet sitter and I can’t recommend him enough. He came to my home last minute and took wonderful care of both my dog Marvel and my cats. He walked Marvel, fed her, gave her treats, and made sure she got plenty of exercise so she wouldn’t get anxious while I was away. Without me even asking, he gave my cats lots of attention too. Ben is reliable, caring, and genuinely great with animals. He’s been a huge support whenever I’ve needed him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pets, Ben is your guy!
Benjamin is my dog’s best friend, I swear! He’s the best sitter I’ve ever had and I would recommend anyone to entrust their baby in his care!
Being able to book Benjamin has been a huge blessing in my life . After my dog was diagnosed with diabetus I worried how I would make sure she got her medicine on time as a single mom who works long hours . I was nervous about my first booking, but that immediately went out the window once I saw the pictures of their visit . Not only was there a smile on Eris's face, but he got a picture of him giving my younger cat pets. My cat is afraid of everyone and has a tendency to hide . The fact that my cat felt comfortable with him hold a huge weight with me. When I come home that night Eris also seemed extra excited as to say " mom I had a friend come over " . Benjamin is also really great with communication and has been flexible with my last minute scheduling. Thanks Benjamin .
Great sitter. Our dog was nervous during the first visit, but they took the time to let him warm up and never rushed him. Their patience helped him feel secure, and we really appreciated that.
