About Benjamin S.

14 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
100% bookings with photo updates

Skills

16 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on the pet, either I let them wander the house during the day, or I bring with me in my office or as I move through the house, based on their personalities. I would take them on at least 2 walks a day, ideally to the off-leash park nearby, but if they do not react well to other dogs I would keep them at the closer on-leash park. At night I would have them sleep in the room with me, either on the bed or off, generally based on their preference.

Information Benjamin S. would like to know about your pet

I like to take dogs to a local off-leash dog park, but to do that I need to be comfortable with a dog's recall, temperament, etc., to ensure it is safe for both my guest ant the other dogs at the park! I also like to know about medical issues, dietary issues, fears and triggers, etc., to ensure that the visit is as calm and safe as possible for both us and your pet!

A typical day

Depending on your dog's recall, comfort levels, and dog reactivity, I can either take them to the dog park to play fetch with them, give them on or off leash walks around my local parks, or play with them in my back yard.

Experienced Orleans Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My family and I have spent years taking care of a wide variety of dogs, from puppies to seniors, Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and everything in between. I live near both on and off leash dog parks in the Ottawa suburbs with a fenced in back yard, so I can handle anything your dog needs to be comfortable. Our kids are 11 & 13 and are both comfortable and respectful with our guests.

Benjamin made us feel at ease leaving our dog behind for a short trip. He sent frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and flexible. Koya came back to us happy and tired from her play time with other dogs.

Molly always comes home happy. Ben and his family are her second home. Thank you again Ben for taking such good care of her.

Benjamin is very knowledgeable of dogs and that’s very reassuring. He sent us updates and our dogs looked relaxed and happy from the start. We’d highly recommend Benjamin.
