Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to host pets in my apartment due to my landlord's regulations. While caring for pets in other homes I am extremely attentive to the pet's needs. I am highly empathetic and conscientious and able to assess how the animal is doing at all times. If outside and on leash I am able to maintain safe and proper care of the dog to avoid any issues with other dogs or animals. I am able to be very nurturing and soft with animals, and also able to be the "Alpha leader" and direct and maintain discipline proper commands and treats/rewarding of good behavior. I am very passionate about making sure animals feel loved and safe at all times.

Passionate Dog Caretaker

Pet care experience

I am very passionate about taking care of dogs of all kinds. Over the course of my life I've been owner and caretaker of many different dogs. I've raised puppies as well and understand the nature of dog training and being the "alpha" caretaker of these incredible animals. I know how to maintain healthy boundaries for them and how to maintain safety for them and other dogs. I feel I am able to enter the role of 'Alpha' so any dog respects me as their protector and leader of their "wolf pack", so they listen to me and follow my lead during walks and being out in the world. I have an extremely high level of integrity and care deeply about the well-being of all creatures.

Ben is great with dogs! He cared for two small dogs growing up. Both reached their teenage years. He's also taken great care of our 4-year-old American Bully pit bull. Ben is able to connect with dogs with ease. The dogs always are receptive to his energy.

I highly recommend Ben as a dog sitter on Rover. He is a very charismatic and responsible person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Ben has a natural love for dogs and for nature, which makes him the kind of person who truly appreciates caring for them, whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Ben is attentive, kind, and dependable, and I’m confident that any pet owner would feel at ease knowing their dog is with him. Your dog will be in great hands with Ben!

I have had Ben caring for my dog for years as well as I have seen him care for our family and friend's dogs for years. He is amazing with animals - he has a special connection with animals and there is no one I would prefer to have spending time with my dog! Not only will he give dogs long wonderful walks but he can train and teach tricks even to older dogs. He understands how dogs think and he will inspire your dog to be the best your dog can be !

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
