Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & professional dog lover!
Friendly, professional, and responsible dog lover with over 45 years of experience owning and caring for dogs of all ages. I work from home all week, so I'm available to care for your dog at my place or travel to yours. I'll treat your pet like part of my own family while you're away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a gated community with plenty of places nearby to walk your dog, including a dog run. Your dog will never be left unattended without your permission, and I'll follow all your rules and wishes. Again, your dog becomes part of my family while in my care.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Gerald (Benny) for over 30 years. Throughout that time I have known him to be extremely caring and compassionate, to people and dogs alike. I would not hesitate to recommend him to care for someone else’s pet(s). They would be lucky to have him.
My dog, Westley, was very well cared for by Gerald, when he sat for him on my frequent trips out of town. He was careful with Westley’s food and medications (he is a senior dog). Whenever Gerald came over, Westley was very happy and excited to see him, with his tail wagging and jumping with excitement! I never worried about my best friend if Gerald was with him!
I've watched Gerald care for my dog for years, and he's simply amazing with animals. He's reliable, calm, and pays attention to the little things that keep a pet happy and healthy. Any pet owner would be lucky to have him.
To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to recommend my brother, Gerald “Benny” Neff, for a position as a dog walker/pet sitter. While his formal name is Gerald, he has always been known to family and friends as Benny. I have known him my entire life, and one thing I can say without hesitation is that he genuinely loves animals, especially dogs. He has always had a natural ability to connect with pets and is incredibly caring, patient, and compassionate toward them. Unfortunately, because his work requires travel, he has not been able to have a dog of his own. That hasn’t stopped him from finding plenty of opportunities to spend time with and care for the pets of friends and family. He is the person people can count on when they need someone to help with their pets. Whether a friend has a busy schedule, an appointment, or simply needs someone to stop by and care for their dog, he is always willing to help. He takes that responsibility seriously and treats every pet as if it were his own. In addition to being an animal lover, he is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. He is a great communicator and understands how important it is for pet owners to know that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. He is also a good problem solver and very adaptable when schedules or circumstances change. If something unexpected comes up, he remains calm and figures out a solution. Most importantly, he has a genuinely caring nature. I would feel completely comfortable leaving my own pet in his care, knowing that he would be attentive, dependable, and loving. I believe he would be an excellent dog walker and pet sitter, and I am confident that both pets and their owners would quickly come to trust and appreciate him. Sincerely, Jackie McCune Sister of Benny Neff

Schedule
I work full-time from home, giving me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to make sure your dog gets the love and care they deserve — with lots of opportunities for walks and playtime. I do travel a few days each month, so I keep my availability updated frequently.
