Highlights
Pet care experience
Bow wow 😎🐕
My entire life I’ve lived and cared for dogs in all shapes in sizes. From stubby Corgis to big, fluffy Bernese mountain dogs, or my wonderful pack of Australian cattle dogs back home. I was the one largely responsible for the care of my family’s elderly Berner, Diogi (pronounced D-O-G) in his final years of life. I’ve fostered and raised several new born puppies of varying temperament and seen them off to loving families, but I’m most proud of the unbreakable bond I’ve formed with who I would call my “soul-dog”, Winnie, my red Australian cattle dog whom I love more dearly than anything. Unfortunately she had to stay behind when I moved to Gainesville for college, but I get to see her often enough.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ben has been a fabulous pet sitter to our three dogs and two cats when we have had to leave them behind on trips we were taking. He is responsible and trustworthy and truly takes an interest in each one of our pets individually. From remembering their medication to making sure they have freshwater and stay on their proper feeding and exercise schedule, he has really given us the peace of mind to be able to enjoy our time away stress-free! Our fur babies give him two paws up!! Our family, highly recommends Ben!!

Schedule
I work on the side at Chick-fil-a as well as attend school full time. Despite this, my schedule is flexible and I have days throughout the week I am 100% free for anything. My regular school days see me out before 1PM. When I do work, I typically go in early afternoon (~2PM) and leave around 8-10PM.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment complex which has several grassy areas to use the bathroom and get some sniffs in.. Nearby there are several nature trails as well as quite a few dog parks within walking distance. I do own a car which I am willing to use to drive to other locations for longer walks/new environments.
A typical day
Lots and lots of walking! I go for long walks/hikes every single day with my own dog, so we’d love to have more company! Your dog can look forward to lots of stimulation and fun!
