Experienced animal caretaker

Pet care experience

My love for dogs started as a kid with my childhood daschund Oscar. I took care of him for close to 19 years. Since then I have been trusted to watch numerous friends and neighbors pets, such as Terri, a young cocker spaniel on multiple occasions. I also have experience taking care of my grandmas cat Toby. I genuinely love animals and with my work from home lifestyle, it’s easy for me to check in or stay with your fluffy companion. Thank you for checking out my profile!

Benji is reliable, friendly, and kind. I trust him with my Fur Baby, BreeZy. It means the world to me that Benji is good to her and BreeZy really likes him! 🐶🙌🏼

Benji is kind and respectful. He is new for me and my fur baby BreeZy however Benji seems caring and compassionate about my fur baby! Also flexible which is good for my crazy work schedule!

My dog and cat love Benji (maybe more than me). Benji is a great friend, and I travel a lot for work. I never have to worry about my Shar Pei, Kona, or my Russian blue, Pumpkin, when Benji is watching them. He always ensures their comfort and safety. They’ll both receive their daily playtime and treats. It’s comforting knowing my pets and home are being well taken care of. I plan to continue hiring Benji for all my pet needs.

Information Benji V. would like to know about your pet

If the pet is friendly with new people or do they need some time to adapt. It helps with my approach before meeting your pet!

A typical day

I will make sure they get plenty of exercise so that they are happy and healthy. I make sure to ask the owner about their favourite toys and treats and if they have any fears (eg.,lightning, thunder, fireworks, car rides). Also to make sure that they have plenty of food and water so they can continue to live their best life!
