Experience: 2 yrs
I worked for A Happy Dog Day Camp for several months before leaving, due to scheduling problems with school. This work gave me great experience with a wide variety of dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I believe I have a much greater understanding of particular breed tendencies than I did before. My job included watching over the dogs, giving medications, and preparing food. I volunteered for the Miller Park Zoo Junior Zookeeper Program for four years and Sterile Feral for one year. Doing so gave me the opportunity to assist zookeepers with preparing food and medications as well as helping to maintain the zoo. Sterile Feral is a service that helps to lower the amount of stray cats by spaying and neutering the feral adults and adopting out the kittens that are young enough to adjust. I have also grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, and it wouldn't be complete without them. I am currently a pack leader to a 2-year-old energetic Husky and his older 'brother', a 4-year-old Shepherd mix.

I have known Benjamin for 8 years. He has had dogs and other pets his whole life and I have seen first-hand the exceptional care for his own pets and the pets of others. He has been patient and consistent when raising and training young dogs and pups, resulting in some of the most well behaved dogs I have had the pleasure of meeting. He is also familiar with raising and caring cats and kittens. They are very sociable and friendly because he has always made them feel comfortable with no need to be fearful. He truly understands the energy of animals and how to respond according to their needs. He is accountable and very responsible. If I had to leave my beloved companions in anyone's care I would choose his and I would rest assured that that my pets would be provided excellent care.
