I’m Benjamin and I have a huge passion for animals, especially dogs. Dogs are not only very honest in their responses, but have an amazing sense of judgement. My passion, love, and respect for dogs is what makes me an excellent caregiver! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have a chocolate lab of my own named Chance. In addition to my personal experience with pups, I have been walking and pet sitting dogs for more than ten years and have been through two levels of pet training at Petco. I also love caring for our feline friends! I grew up with two cats and think they are such wonderful creatures. I adore their unique personalities and find their independence so interesting - their intelligence is unmatched. I’d be happy to care for kitties, as well as dogs! Overall, I love that Rover allows me the ability to work with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and shapes. I love working with animals and know my experience and love for our furry friends make me an ideal caregiver! I provide superior care to your pup from our first meeting, making sure they are comfortable around me and then spoiling them a little with a few treats. It’s important that owners see that their dog is happy in my care, so I’d be happy to set up a meet and greet prior to the stay. In addition, I will also be sure to stay in constant communication with you, providing text and photo updates of your pup having fun! When I’m not spending time with Chance or caring for other animals, I love doing improv, trying new food, and exploring New York City! I’m always curious - curious to try new food and music and curious to discover new cultures. I’d be happy to bring your pup along with me on my adventures!
