I love animals, and animals love me

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Benjamin (Ben for short), I grew up with a dog, two cats, and some fish. Growing up I spent a lot of time on my family’s ranch where I fed and took care of cows, horses, chickens, and even a donkey! I have often been told I am an animal whisperer because I get along with every animal I have had the pleasure of meeting. Whether or not I am actually an animal whisperer is up for debate as I have never actually been able to have a conversation with them. I enjoy going on walks, so bringing an animal along with me would only add to the fun! I look forward to hearing from you and your pet, and even more to spend time with them.

Benjamin was prompt with responding and updated me daily with pictures. Jax seemed to enjoy his stay and I would definitely rebook in the future.

I had a great experience with Benjamin- he took care of my cats while I was on vacation. He also sent cute pictures of them on every visit :) I highly recommended him, your pets will be well taken care of!

As Ben's mother, I can testify that he grew up around dogs and cats in our home and when he visited his grandfather, a Veterinarian, he helped him handle and treat dogs and cats in his clinic. Ben has a gift and true love and understanding for dogs (and cats), an animal whisper of sorts. He often walked, cared for, played, and cuddled with our family dogs, and participated in dog obedience training classes for one of our labs. Ben also occasionally house sat and walked their dogs for family friends while they were on vacation. Ben interacts with dogs in a loving, playful, and non threatening manner, yet knows how to be in command, get a dog to listen, and control them on a leash. Ben is very trustworthy and kind, and without a doubt I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a dog sitter or dog walker.

Ben was very professional and punctual when watching my chocolate lab (who seemed to love him), and was very willing to comply with my puppy's special needs, including giving her medicine at the same time every day.
