About the sitter
Hi, I'm Bennett.
I'm 12 years old and I've lived in Maryland my whole life. Here's a little more about me, my dogs, and why my dad is part of every booking.
My story
I wanted to start a pet-sitting business because I know I’m really good with animals, and honestly, I wanted to earn a little bit of my own money too. Once I realized I could build a whole website for it — with some help from my dad — it felt like the perfect way to get started. I’d been thinking about doing this for almost a year, so now that it’s actually happening, it makes me really happy.
Brodie & Sammy
I have two dogs — Brodie and Sammy. Brodie is huge (almost 100 pounds, and taller than me!) and he’s a Poodle/St. Bernard mix, so I’m used to giving a big dog a lot of attention. Sammy is a Lab/Poodle mix and much smaller — she doesn’t need as much. Having two totally different dogs has taught me that every dog is different: some need more attention, some need less, and they all have their own personality. If they like something, that’s great, and if they don’t, they’ll let you know in their own way.
Experience caring for other pets
Of course! We have a lot of friends and neighbors I know really well. They’ve trusted me over the years because I’m responsible. Even my neighbor across the street, Dave, who loves his dogs more than anything, has trusted me to let them out and watch them — if you know Dave, you know that’s saying something!
Spending time with dogs gives me a calm, happy feeling. I’ve been around dogs and animals my whole life, so being with them feels like home, even when I’m not actually home.
Certifications
Not currently pursuing a formal certification, but this is something we may add down the road — check back for updates.
Why you can trust me with your pet
You can trust me with your pet because I’ve been around animals my whole life, so I know what I’m doing. People have told me I’m responsible and careful, and I’ll take the time to learn exactly what your pet needs and stick to it.
Because I’m still a kid, my dad also personally reviews and approves every booking and every payment before anything is confirmed. He’s not just aware of this business — he’s part of running it, so you can feel confident there’s a responsible adult keeping an eye on things.
A little more about me
I’m a straight-A student with a lot of friends. I’ve had dogs almost my whole life — usually two at a time — and I’ve also had fish, which might not sound like much since they’re just in a bowl, but they still take real work to take care of.
