Law student seeks park companion!

Pet care experience

I come from a family with 5 dogs. My bff, Oz (120 lb rott/shepherd), died 11/5/2017, and I'm ready to hang out with dogs again. I am a law student, so I'm only in a class a few hours a day. The rest of the day, I hang out and read at my house or a park. Your dog will have a an awesome time! When I'm not home, the dog can stay in my room (on my bed) or in its very own climate controlled, partially finished basement. Fenced in backyard for fetch and potty. .4 miles from a great park (Forest Hill). Opportunities for dog social activities. Maybe even some netflix on the couch when I get my reading finished. I especially enjoy helping anxious dogs relax and have fun!

We had a weird request for Ben - we were passing through town and just need to leave our dog with him for a few hours. He was so accommodating and happy to help. He communicated well with us and when we were late to come get the dog, he was so understanding and easy to work with. So grateful we found him! Would certainly recommend him to others. Additionally, our dog is a bit antsy and he was so great letting her sniff around his house and get to know the space. She was curled up relaxing on the couch in no time!

Benjamin is a wonderful sitter! Annie and George loved him and had a great time! He sent updates and pictures. He has a spacious fenced in backyard. I will have him watch my babies again and will recommend him to our family and friends.

Cannot recommend Ben enough! Our dog Polyester loved his stay and came home exhausted (always a good thing). Ben sent photo and text updates and was very easy to coordinate with. Bonus: he was watching other dogs at the same time thus giving our dog playmates and ensuring he never got lonely. We will definitely contact Ben for our next trip.
