Benjamin offered to come closer to where I live for pickup/drop-off, which was very helpful. There was great, prompt communication. He was very open to learning about and accommodating my dog's few special needs. I think his calm, level-headed vibe helped put my nervous dog at ease. We will book again!

Benjamin is great with dogs. He's helped me out whenever I need. The dogs always love to see him. He has a dog of his own so he knows what he is doing.

Benjamin is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Over a month, my dog was well cared for, and I sincerely appreciated the updates and photos throughout which Benjamin collected and shared with me over Google photos. He went above and beyond, ensuring my 12.5 years old dog was happy, heathy and comfortable. I highly recommend Benjamin.
About me
1 year experience
A very flexible wannabe dog owner
First and foremost, I absolutely love dogs! I would like to have my own dog, but for various reasons I couldn't get it yet. As I am living in a pet friendly apartment, I thought maybe I help other people and spend some time with nice dogs in the meantime using Petbnb. I am working remotely, usually either from home or a pet-friendly coworking space. This means I will be with your dogs most of the day. If your dog likes to go out then they can often even come with me while I train outside with my friends or just for a jog. This means apart from the tremendous amount of attention, I can also help your dog to consume some of their extra energies if needed.
As an experience I have mostly 3 dogs to mention:
1. Zokni, a ten year or mixed breed, the dog that I am planning to adopt. She is with my parent currently as she was abandonded by her previous owner. As they weren't taking good care of her, it took me a few weeks to fully earn her trust. With a lot of caring and patience I managed to transform her from a scared, very anxious dog to a happily walking doggo who even jogs with me sometimes.
2. My actual dog sitting carreer has started with Pepe. I took care of him for 6 weeks while his owner was abroad. We get on the same page right on the first day and enjoyed the 6 weeks together. He is a 12 year old labrador mix. He has some medical issues (sensitive stomach, some skin disease), but I was able to manage them without any issues.
3. Iska, a 1.5 year old german shepard mix. She is full of energy, always up for some walks and most of the time even for jogging. I took care of her for a few days 9-5 and it was amazing experience. Based on how happy was her when she saw me in the mornings, probably she also enjoyed the time with me.
All in all I am quite flexible both in terms of scheduling and what kind of dogs I am happy to take care of. I love dogs, I like to put maximum effort into taking care of dogs, so I can guarantee your dog will get nothing but the best care from me.
