The day starts with outside time, followed by breakfast at 08:00 and then some playtime. If walking is required then walking would be next although flexible depending on the guest, my dog, Noah, likes a snoozy morning and I do chores, read, write and keep my eyes on my the animals in my charge. If i have dog walking dates I would do up to three of those depending on needs of the dog. Lunch is at 1pm. More walking dates or freelance work can happen or if I have a doggy guest that requires post lunch walk then this would be next. I tend to take Noah to the forest for an hour between 2 and 4pm. Dinner is at 6pm. There may be an evening walk if required. I tend not to give treats unless instructed to by owners. Evening is gentle play with a wind down, I sometimes I watch a film. Bedtime is 10 - 11pm pm with sleeping arrangements as stipulated by owners.

Information Ben B. would like to know about your pet

I love to have an idea of your pets personality, likes, dislikes, things to avoid. Any particular dietary requirements and medications. Your dogs temperament is useful to know to avoid any stress.

A typical day

I provide plenty of play, fetch and tug of war. I have enrichment in the form of different textured toys. I happy to reinforce any training regime you may have. I live on the edge of Sherwood Forest and once or twice a day I like to walk the dogs around the forest. Happy to provide a shampoo, rinse and dry plus grooming. I’m unable to provide haircuts.

Pet care experience

I have had pets since I was little, a rabbit and a springer spaniel. I used to walk neighbours dogs for free. I have had three cats and currently have a golden retriever puppy. I have worked as an animal keeper in a zoo for a year during a degree in wildlife conservation as a mature student. I love dogs and earning money is a bonus.

Ben has taken care of my spaniel a number of times. He has taken care of Stanley as if he was his own dog. It was home from home for him. I would recommend Ben as a responsible and very caring, loving pet caregiver for sure.

I live in Southwell and Ben walked my Lurcher, Penelope, twice a week for six weeks after an operation. Always on time and Penny loved him. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Ben has looked after my Cockerpoo Rufus several times and Rufus adores him! Ben always takes fantastic care of him and ensures that I am updated with texts and photos! I would absolutely recommend Ben! He is a true animal lover.
