Pet care experience

I came from a household that took in broken animals and fixed them as well as tended to the many dogs and cats of our own. I was also a nurse for 10 years, kindness and loving human touch is what I offer to you and your pet.

Benjamin was excellent. It wasn’t easy leaving our senior dog with diabetes home for our daughter’s wedding, but Ben put our mind at easy. We will definitely be using him again.

Benjamin was available at the last minute to walk my Marley. His customer service is excellent. Sent a status picture of Marley ‘s walk. I thought that was super cool. Will definitely book again?

This was my first time using rover and Benjamin made me feel very comfortable by providing pictures and updates. I’m very happy with the love and care he provided to my kitties. I knew they were taken care of while I was away on vacation.

Information Benjamin S. would like to know about your pet

My current dog doesn't have any special needs but my previous dogs and cats have lived to old age. plenty of times I had to administer shots, eye drops and ear drops to help them bounce back. I also have 12 years of medical experience as a nurse which helps.

A typical day

Go for walks, toss the frisbee or stick. Sometimes jog a bit on walks, tug of war, keep away, hiding treats to find or hiding treats in toys to chew.
