Pet care experience
Hoping to be dogs best friend…
A couple of years ago I lost my 2 best friends, Jake, a handsome yet grumpy 'Parsons Jack' & Lucy, a beautiful, crazy 'Labradour' who gave nothing but love into the world. They were my childhood bestfriends and for them to die so close together was beautiful but painful. I've always grown up around animals, from cats and dogs to parrots and lizards and I've trained and raised them. I can honestly say I 100% prefer animals to humans, they give and know nothing but love. The house in currently living in has a stunning Akita called Kieva, she is placid, cuddly chilled but most of all she is the queen of the house. All meet and greats when I'm to board your dog will include Kieva and if she doesn't agree then nor can I. Your pet will always be cared for & watched most of the day when house sitting or boarding (they must be okay for a few hours just incase), me and my partner Charlotte share custody whilst we have your pooch, she is studying most of time for her masters so there is always one us around to care and walk them. I'm happy to help with basic training (puppy training, mat to garden & basic behaviour training) & grooming (brushing, showering etc) for your pet, I'm also happy to give them medication under your instruction. My walks will be around 45 mins (sometimes this will include (15/20 min travel to a destination I think me and your pet will both love). I work pretty much a 9-5 so I can only evening pet sit from 6-11. I will be with them the whole time and there will be an hours walk included in this. Weekends I can normally do the whole time, I may pop out for a few hours but other then that your pet will be looked after the entire time. 2/3 walks a day depending on times. If you need me to stay this is also fine, I'm a company director of a window company, being in and out of other peoples houses is something I'm used to. I'm open to work with any pet, I'd love to take care of bigger sized dogs as they're what I'm used to (Also being 6ft 4 its always nice to walk and mess with something more my size), Theres lots of places, fields and forests around for me to take your pet for walks if needed. I have a big Van ready for all sized fluffs!

Your pet is my priority, I live with a big Akita who is super placid, I’ve been looking after animals for years. I have my own lead which is extendable, this is normally used on 1st walk so I can get a bette understanding of Your let and how they act out and about.
Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful for the amazing care our dogs received on our wedding day! From start to finish, Ben went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Knowing our dogs were safe, happy, and well looked after gave us complete peace of mind so we could fully enjoy our special day. Ben was reliable, kind, and clearly has such a genuine love for animals. The dogs got on well with him straight away, and it was such a comfort to know they were in the best hands. We can’t recommend Ben highly enough – he truly made a big difference to our wedding day experience. Thank you so much! 🐾💍
Ben was fantastic looking after Moose for the weekend. He sent plenty of updates so we knew that everything was going ok! Moose was exhausted when we arrived home so he must have had a great weekend!
Thanks Ben for looking after Wayra! Ben was brilliant taking care of her, she had a great time. Good communication and very easy going. Totally recommend him.
Ben was brilliant, and Moose was comfortable with him as soon as he arrived. Will definitely be using Ben for any future requirements :)
Ben has taken care of our 6 year old Akita on many occasions and we have peace of mind as we know we’re leaving her in good hands when we’re away. Ben is great when he’s looking after her, taking her on walks, and I can tell they have great fun together. It’s not easy to find somebody to look after a big dog but we have 100% trust in Ben when we’re away.
Ben is a great dog carer. He’s very loving towards all dogs and very punctual with his time keeping. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone.

Schedule
I have my own double glazing company and sort my own diary. It will be updated onto this. I can do Early walk or late most days if working so your pet can still get the air and exercise it needs.
