Loving family in Tempe.

Pet care experience

My name is Ben and first and foremost I am a dog lover. I grew up with dogs and cared for the dogs of neighbors since I was 8 years old (I'm 32 now). For three years in college and three years in law school, I also volunteered my time at local humane societies. I have a 8-year old Yorkie named Enzo. I treat your pet like a member of my family. Dogs sleep in the bed with me, they get walks (sometimes two!), they get snuggled, they get food and medication on time every day, I keep you updated with daily pictures, etc. Your pet is in safe hands and most pets greatly enjoy their vacay spent with me. My daily weekday routine consists of working during the day and then coming home. When I am watching a dog, this means taking it for a walk in or around our neighborhood. I have a very comfortable and spacious house, a large fenced-in backyard where your dog can run around, and a safe neighborhood where your dog and I will take walks. Enzo, my Yorkie, grew up in a household with two other dogs and he is very comfortable and friendly with both humans and dogs alike. When he isn't sleeping (usually on my lap) he enjoys playing fetch and taking walks.

So pleased! I got daily reports on my dog, with photos. Felt very comfortable with this family and will use again.

We couldn't have asked for better hosts! Great back yard for the dogs, sent regular updates and pictures. Would definitely have them watch our pups again!

Ben and his wife are great! It's obvious that they took great care of my pups while out of town. They sent pictures every day so I knew they were having a blast! And they spend a good amount of time at home so they pups aren't cooped up all day. Would highly recommend and would have them watch my pups any time!

Ben was a great sitter to Daisy, and enabled us to enjoy our vacation fully! At every step of the way, he was concerned with her comfort as we got her settled into his home alongside his dog. Ben sent photos to assure us she was having fun, and he was very flexible and efficient in his drop off and pick up communications. Will definitely use him again!

Information Ben J. would like to know about your pet

My preference is for breeds that do not shed and have a good temperament. We have a young child, so a child-friendly dog is a must.

A typical day

We will go on walks in Tempe. My neighborhood has plenty of sidewalks and multiple parks are nearby and lots of neighbors who like to pet dogs.
