Pet care experience

My family and I started adopting basset hounds from the Ohio Basset Rescue when I was 15. In that time I’ve fostered tons of dogs with aggressive, timid, and friendly behavior. I’ve handled aggressive eating and walking habits with the fosters I took in as well as a few mid size ones that got mixed up with the rescue. I have two basset hounds which are 6 and 14 as well as a heavily mixed basset that’s 2.

He did not show up for a morning visit and did not tell me, so I only figured out my puppy had been 14 hours without a potty break or food because of security cameras. She chewed things on the counter because she was left out of her crate despite my instructions, so hoping she will did not ingest anything that will cause a serious medical issue. He was late to the other two visits, and did not stay a full 30 minutes. Very cruel treatment of my puppy, who is a sweetheart.

Benjamin did great with my two pups! Was on time, professional, and sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Would reschedule Benjamin in a heartbeat!

Benjamin had been called the dog whisperer and is a calm assertive influence with all dogs. He had been rescuing dogs in all shapes and conditions mentally and physically for just under 9 years. He is able to read a dog and understand what it means to take care of them. Benjamin is a trustworthy young man that takes his jobs seriously.

Safety, trust & environment

For walking I take my three dogs one at a time because of the age difference but I can easily walk more than one if needed. I feed my dogs separately with the youngest in a crate, the mid-oldest in a room locked with a gate and the oldest in another part of the house. My oldest has barley any teeth due to medical issues so I kind of create a fetal type dog food dinner for him so any instructions or special type of dog food I can handle. I play with my younger dogs daily so I can tire out any puppies or energetic dogs if needed as well.

A typical day

I can play with puppies or high energy dogs for hours, walking is a breeze as I like to usually walk around the neighborhood or at a park.
