Safety, trust & environment

For boarding: I live in a 1000 sqft house with a big unfenced yard. It’s a safe neighborhood with plenty of speed bumps and stop signs to deter cars from driving to quickly. It’s also a very quiet neighborhood that will provide a calm space for your animals. I live with 2 cats who have never been aggressive with anyone or any animal. For walking: I will come to you and walk your animals.

Life-Long pet owner and walker

Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for cats, dogs, birds and reptiles my entire life. I will treat your furry children as if they were my own family so that their time with me is joyful and fulfilling. Whether it’s a walk for an hour or a boarding for a weekend, your animals will be cared for with love and experience and you can rest assured that they are safe and happy in qualified hands. I have personally raised rescue dogs from medium size to large German shepherds. I worked at a pet day care/hotel in Miami that boarded 30 dogs/cats a night and it was my responsibility to care for, walk and feed them.

Ben was accommodating by fitting us in on short notice for house-sitting. He was very detailed in his care for birdie, making note of Birdie's temperament toward strangers, feeding behavior, and idiosyncrasies. We will definitely be using Ben again for house and dog sitting needs. Thank you Ben!
