Pet care experience
I have had and worked with animals since a young age. Most of those animals have been dogs and cats, along with a few horses, burros, rabbits, and hamsters. Four-legged friends have always been a major part of my life, including, as example, a cat that for 17 years, from age 6 months, traveled with me to my place of work daily and took extended vacations at my side. going to places like the Grand Canyon, never once having been kenneled. Presently I give care to a friend's cat, who needs insulin shots twice a day. Whether you're traveling or just out for the day, as an experienced pet owner myself you know I'll go the extra mile to ensure not just your pet's safety and quality of life, but provide you peace of mind, too. As pet owners, we often love our pets more than anything and we go to great lengths to make certain they are well taken care of. When I care for your pet, I am attentive and thoughtful with feeding, touch as needed, and providing play time, and I promise that I will care for your pet with loving focused attention. I look forward to working with you and your pet to create the perfect experience.
Reviews
Benjamin has a wonderful calming way with dogs and was able to keep our crazy pups under control!
Benjamin has known and interacted with all my pets for at least a decade. He has true compassion and experience as a pet owner as well. On many occasions, I have entrusted him with the care of my 2 cats for extended periods when I must travel. I have always been impressed with the amount of affection he shows my pets as well as the attention to detail in regards to their care. His responsibilities in regards to my pets includes handling visits to the veterinarian and relaying care instructions to me from the doctor. He is quite familiar with all aspects of animal care including administering medicine, injections, and special dietary formulations. I truly have peace of mind when I leave pets in his care.
Large breed dogs can intimidate a lot of people simply based on their size, despite their sweet and cuddly disposition, and so I was a bit nervous when considering a companion caregiver for my pets who owned a small breed dog. Upon their first introduction, my dogs immediately hit it off with both Benjamin and Fredo, and Benjamin has proven himself to be someone who can handle all of them with confidence and love. My dogs receive the care and attention they need, and my house is always very well kept. My dogs look forward to their visits with Benjamin, whether lounging in the yard or on a multitude of adventures, from road trips to splashing in the surf to retrieving sticks from lakes or rivers. Benjamin is kind, firm, consistent and, above all, trustworthy. My dogs love him.
I have known Benjamin for over 40 years. He has always loved animals, and truly enjoys them. He likes taking walks with them and just caring for them in general. He is a kind, caring fellow and I would trust him with my precious pup any day.
