Pawsitive Care for Pups and Floofs
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m a doctoral candidate in psychology doing my clinical internship here in Boston, and I’m using Rover to help supplement my income. I’ve been helping family, friends, and neighbors care for their pets since I was a kid, and I used Rover full-time this past summer. I am comfortable with dogs of any size and breed. Prior to the pandemic, I cared for a service-dog for a family with multiple children on the autism spectrum. My clinical internship has me working a regular 9-to-5 schedule, so I limited to providing pet care after 5pm on weekdays and on the weekends. Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding in my home at this time. However, I am excited to care for pups in the comfort and familiarity of their homes and neighborhoods.
Reviews
Ben is fantastIc. He took great care of my cat and gave her her shots. Very reliable
Benjamin was great, very thorough and prompt. I was happy to receive pictures and updates of my kitty on both his visits. Will definitely reach out the next time I am looking for a sitter!
Thank you! We appreciate the terrific care you always give to our floofs.
Ben is so reliable and provides great service.
About Benjamin R.
Communication
Skills
Information Benjamin R. would like to know about your pet
Please share any accommodations your pup needs, leash tendencies (e.g., tugging, aggression towards humans or other animals, frequent stops), and any interest in help with addressing unwanted leash tendencies. I am happy to support your goals (e.g., a tired out pup, less pulling on leash, increased comfort with other pups).
A typical day
I am happy to meet the individual needs of different pups, whether it’s playing fetch in the park, doing some socializing at a dog park, walking through the neighborhood, or going for a run on a trail. During drop-ins, I ensure pups have fresh water, check for potty accidents, use treats to build positive relationships, and follow any specific instructions for care provided.
