Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Trusted Dog Companion 🐶😁
I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, from Labs and small Cavachons to active Border Collies. As a primary caregiver and experienced dogsitter, I’m comfortable feeding, walking, letting dogs out, administering medications, and staying overnight in clients’ homes. I’m willing to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family are away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to trust the person caring for both your dog and your home. When I’m caring for a dog, I follow the owner’s instructions and try keeping their normal routine. I’m affectionate and playful with dogs, but I also pay attention to their personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just hang out on the couch, I’m there. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your dog is being cared for by someone who wants the best for them.
Ratings and reviews
Ben has watched our dogs several times and has done a great job. We had lots of specific instructions for him given their ages and personalities and he was diligent to do everything we asked. He is a very pleasant and responsible young man and I have referred him to several of our good friends.
Holly the Collie and Lady want to thank Benjamin for the great care that he gave to them while we were away. Holly can be a little anxious, and she loved him and even gave him kisses. They were both happy and relaxed when we got home. It was such a comfort knowing they were cared for by someone kind, dependable, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Benjamin walked them every day and played "fetch" with Holly. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned. We would absolutely have Ben watch them again and would recommend him without hesitation. Thank you, Benjamin, for the care you gave them and for the daily photos!

Schedule
My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week to stop by, let dogs out, go for walks, feed them, and spend quality time with them. I’m also comfortable staying overnight in your home when needed. I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

- I’d love to know your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality. Please also let me know about any medications, allergies, behavioral concerns and triggers. It’s also helpful to know how they do around other dogs and people, their bathroom routine, and any house rules you want me to follow. The more I know about what makes your pet comfortable and happy, the better I can care for them!
