Pet care experience
Just bought a house near Troy NY. I'll never rush your dog we will walk until their hearts content. I will keep small treats with me to help then walk at my side and wait before crossing. My dog Kane has so much love for other animals, she's always playing with dogs in the neighborhood and helping tech them to play! She's great at sharing toys and guaranteed to help energetic dogs get more exercise but still leave older dogs alone. Routine: Kane and I are up and having breakfast by 830 every morning. Then we go for a nice long walk and stop by Saratoga park. After we play some fetch and meet some friendly neighbor hood dogs we head back and get a treat at home for a behaving on a nice long walk. Experience: I've had animals since I was 5. Including chickens, cats and their litters, Dogs, sugar gliders, bunnies, hamsters, fresh and marine water fish, horses, and cows I've loved them all and although they're never perfect they always deserve the best treatment I can possibly provide. I love walking dogs because it's an excuse to enjoy the outdoors with a wonderful friend by my side. I always enhance skills of the animals I have whether I'm trying to teach them to walk right beside me or give their paw for treats. I grew up working on a farm, and horses need some special care and a delicate but stern hand. Giving them medicine was much more challenging than the 5 senior bassets I help take care of in my family. Background: I alway chose the runt of the group, once I had a kitten that was too small to get milk from her mom so i hand nursed her until she could eat we food on her own. I'm willing to go the extra mile for a animal in need. There's been many times I've seen strays outside and stopped to help Rain or Shine. Every animal deserve that devotion.
Reviews
Ben is a very good care taker, gentle and responsible. He developed a good contact with my dog from the start. My dog spent over two weeks with Ben, his girlfriend, and their lovely playful dog. He enjoyed daily walks, play time with his companions, car rides, and naps on a sofa. Ben groomed and bathed the dog and gave him the preventive meds on time. When I got the dog back he was happy and active as ever.
Benjamin is an animal lover and a wonderful trainer. I highly recommend Benjamin. I truly enjoy Benjamin skills with my dog and my dog is always so happy to see Benjamin. Wendy D
Ben is an excellent caregiver for dogs and other animals-he is extremely reliable, very caring, and thoroughly responsible. He has cared for my four dogs as well as dogs and animals of others. I strongly recommend him for care for your pets.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard, several rooms, crates and other ways to devide dogs incase of any challenges. There are multiples door between any exit outside so escape is more difficult. The cats mostly hang in their own room so if your dog doesnt like cats it will not be a problem.

Does your dog need any special treatment? How much food do they eat at what times? Are they potty trained? Where do they sleep at night? Do they get along well with others?
A typical day
Wake up and let the dogs out for their first break while i get ready for our walk. Then we take a long pack walk normally more than 2 miles before heading home for breakfast. The dogs will eat together under my supervision. Then have time to play and rest during the day. Potty break at lunch time, another walk after work followed by dinner and play/training time before bed.
