I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already.

About Benjamin W.

Safety, trust & environment

I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!

Information Benjamin W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, requirements, or diets and I am happy to accommodate them. I’ve had senior dogs and puppies, I’m no stranger to challenges!

A typical day

I love watching dogs enjoy life so I am open to various types of engagement. Long walks, tug sessions in the living room, walks around reeds lake, leisurely strolls through the neighborhood, food based games for enrichment, Training refreshers to work those big brains of theirs!

Pet care experience

Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own!

Benjamin has cared for my dogs, 2 little Shih Tzus, and has been absolutely great! They are a little bit high maintenance and he has provided them with the best care! Walks, light grooming and all the extra snuggles 2 little doggies could ask for! I would highly recommend using Benjamin for your pet care. He is timely, a great communicator and is definitely a pet lover!
