Highlights
Pet care experience
Seattle Pet and Park Lover
I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, starting with my family’s cat Bella and our goldendoodle Triscuit (who, yes, was just as lovable as her snack-sized name suggests). Growing up with both a cat and a dog taught me how to adapt to different pet personalities, whether that means entertaining an energetic pup or respecting a cat’s need for their royal personal space. Since then, I’ve cared for all kinds of cats and dogs. Making them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's playing around the house, going for nature walks, or simply existing in each other's company, I make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away For me, pet sitting isn’t just about responsibility, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of pets while traveling makes the experience even better, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home and furry friends with care, respect, and maybe a little extra belly-rubbing, I’d love to help!

Ratings and reviews
Benny was incredible with my doggies. He was very patient with both, and made sure all necessities were met. Updates and videos of the pups being extra happy in his care made me rest easy. Thanks Benny!
My dog can be finicky, but she immediately felt comfortable with Ben. He was good with communication, & calm, patient, and positive with my pup, and gave her lots of great exercise!
Ben is awesome, very friendly and responsive.
Ben made me and my cat, Bento, immediately feel at ease when I dropped off Bento before leaving on a recent trip. He cared for Bento as if he were his own and did everything he could to make Bento feel welcome and loved! He was communicative, timely, and very responsible. Bento loved his time with Ben (watching the bird feeder just outside the window probably helped!), and I would highly recommend anyone to trust their furry friends with Ben!

Schedule
My routine is usually quite flexible so I adapt to the needs of the pets I am with. Usually that means a walk and or play time in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I keep things clean, organized, and well cared for. I bring that same level of care when staying in someone else’s home, making sure everything stays tidy, plants stay happy, and your space looks just as good, if not better, than when you left. Basically, you’ll come home to a well-kept house and a happy pet.
A typical day
I’m lucky to live within a 10 minute walk of three of Seattle’s best parks, so I love taking pets out for fresh air, exercise, and a change of scenery. We’ll go on walks, explore the trails, or just enjoy being outside together. At home, we can relax, watch the birds at the feeder from the window, and cozy up on the couch. Whether they want activity or calm, I’m happy to match their energy and keep them comfortable and happy.
