Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher and Animal Lover
I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have 4 cats, one of which is elderly and takes twice daily medication and one who is a previously-feral tripod that we rehabilitated after he lost his hind leg in an accident. We’ve also worked with a few diabetic cats; so, injections are no problem. So, I do have some experience with special needs and medically-complex furbabies! I also have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes in my life and during my time volunteering at animal shelters and pet sitting. Your big boy or pittie will not scare me. Additionally, I have basic experience with reptiles, fish, and rodents. As a pet parent, I know how scary it can be to leave your pets with a stranger (or anyone really!) but I would love to meet and care for your furry friend as if they were one of my own!

Benjamin also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Great experience again. Thank didn’t have to worry at all while I was gone; thanks so much Ben!
Benjamin is awesome and reliable. Always goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs are well taken care of.
Lots of pics and updates during my time away. Everything was great on my return. Couldn’t have asked for more!
Great communication and care! I didn’t have to worry at all while I was gone. I’ll definitely book again 😊
The cats are always happy to have Benjamin visit. It’s nice to have such thoughtful updates and know they are in good care.
Benjamin did an amazing job looking after my boy! He provided tons of pictures every check in so I knew by cat was getting as much love as possible while I was gone. My cat is wary of strangers, but Benjamin took the time to get to know him and by the end of the week my cat was obsessed. Would book again!

Schedule
I am currently a middle school teacher, so I do work from 7:30-4:30 each weekday during the school year. So, I am only available during evenings, weekends, and holidays. My husband and I usually pet-sit together. He is a part-time educator at the Virginia Zoo, part-time ASL interpreter student, part-time barista, and full-time animal lover!

- Please, let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. For dogs especially, please warn me if they are dog aggressive so I can be cautious and keep everyone safe! For any pet, I would also appreciate warnings for escape artists. I know some pets love an open door more than others and want to be sure to prevent any mishaps.
