Devoted & experienced dog lover

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs all my life and have recent experience with 2 large rescues who both lived to over 14 years old. I am now retired so I spend all day with the dogs that I look after and they always get several long walks a day if that’s what they need, or they stay with me as I restore motorbikes in my on site garage if they have less energy. I have experience with large dogs and their needs but can happily look after any breed. I can also address any behavioral issues your dog may have. The majority of the dogs I look after are repeat bookings.

Great first time experience using Rover and with Ben. He was very good with communication and putting my mind at ease about my 3 yr old Doberman Hercules staying with him for a few days. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with larger breeds and Hercules seemed to have a great time and had plenty of good runs and walks. You can tell by speaking with Ben that he is more than just a dog sitter. He genuinely loves spending time with them. I, and Hercules, recommend Ben 110% and will definitely be a return customer.

Ben was very good with Basil, who is a nervous, stubborn bull terrier who doesn't like new things. He even managed to get Basil out for lots of walks. It is obvious Ben loves dogs and is very knowledgeable and patient. I loved receiving videos & photos which eased my mind. I have already booked a longer stay.
