I work remotely full-time, so I am able to house-sit during the day. For dog walking, my hours are flexible but early mornings (before 8am) and afternoons (after 2pm) work best for me.

Safety, trust & environment

When I meet you, I will make sure to ask all the right questions to ensure I know how to properly attend to your dog's every need.

Information Benjamin P. would like to know about your pet

Aside from any special needs your dog may have, I want to know more about its personality. Is it energetic and playful? Is it nervous and shy? Getting to know your dog allows me to cater my care to its needs and helps me build a stronger bond with it.

A typical day

I love to let the dog guide our activities. On walks, the dog decides which way we go and our pace. I like to give it the freedom to smell whatever (as long as it’s safe) for as long as it wants. If the dog wants to play, we’ll play until it’s tired. If the dog wants to chill, I’ll give it some time to rest.

Pet care experience

I've lived with a variety of different dogs—small dogs, big dogs, quiet dogs, loud dogs, anxious dogs, relaxed dogs—I love them all! I am attentive, caring, and playful, always adjusting to your dog's needs, always stopping to let them get a good sniff, never giving up at tug of war.

Ben was great with Shiloh and she was tired afterwards.

Ben was amazing with my two energetic Frenchies! He walked our boys every weekday for about a month so they could get their exercise when I wasn't able to get them out. He was very caring with the dogs, patient (haha), thoughtful, trustworthy, reliable, communicative with me, and flexible with our schedule requests. And my boys loved going out with him. They always came back good and tired! :D We will definitely have him back for more walking and potential sitting soon. Thanks again, Ben!

Ben was very friendly and accommodating. He did a great job with Buxton. Ben was very responsive and shared regular updates while he was watching Buxton. I trusted him with going to my house and keeping B safe. I would utilize Ben’s services again!

We have left out dog Rosie in the care of Ben multiple times over the years and have loved the care he showed our dog. She was well taken care of while we were away and when we came home she was as happy as could be as if we had never left. I would recommend anyone leaving their dog for Ben to care for. He is wonderful and takes great care of dogs.
