Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive & Reliable sitter WFH.
I had my own dog for over five years, so I understand the responsibility and consistency dogs need day to day. I’m comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels, and I adapt to each dog’s routine rather than forcing my own. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m available for regular toilet breaks, short walks throughout the day and longer walks at lunchtime or evenings if needed. I’m relaxed but attentive. I pay attention to behaviour, mood and routine. I’ve looked after dogs in my own home, walked them alongside my own and independently, and I’m confident managing different personalities. My home environment is calm and structured, which suits most dogs well. If you’re looking for someone steady, responsible and present, not distracted or juggling multiple commitments, your dog will get consistent, attentive care here. I've developed a dog portrait photography hobby and if time allows during your dog's stay, an online folder with their best shots will be provided free of charge.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our two dogs loved their stay with Ben. We did an introduction meeting before our holiday, and Ben gave us confidence that he had a great rapport with our dogs, and they settled in quickly when we left them there for our holiday. Ben sent us daily videos and photos of the dogs during our time away, which put our minds at rest that they were happy and settled—for them, it was truly a home from home. We will definitely contact Ben again when we need doggy care; he is understanding and provides great feedback about feeding issues and general care.
Ben was super with Poppy and Monty. I could see they enjoyed being with him. We look forward to booking Ben again when needed.
Amazing sitter. We only have a 12 week old cocker pup and he was amazing with her keeping me updated with lots of photos and videos along with lots of puppy play and brilliant attention to her. Would 100% recommend
Despite only staying for 1 night previously with Ben, Buddy started his recent stay buy jumping out of the car and running into Ben's house without a single glance back at me. Clearly a good sign and makes be feel happy to leave him there. Thanks again Ben for looking after him :)
Ben was great with Belle again, she was a bit under the weather and Ben communicated how she was regularly. Much appreciated.
Ben was great with our 12 year old lab, Max. Max is temperamental on the lead & can be a bit of a grump but he's sweet really & Ben brought out the best in him. Max was relaxed & settled and even got to mix with other dogs & make some friends. Ben sent us updates on Max throughout his stay and was very easygoing with dropping off and collecting. Will certainly send Max there again when we next go away.

Schedule
I work from home full-time, which allows me to integrate pet care consistently into my day. I’m available for regular toilet breaks, feeding and supervision, with time for short walks and a longer lunchtime walk. My routine is stable and home-based, so dogs in my care are very rarely left alone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, structured home environment with a secure, fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Dogs are supervised and not left unattended in the garden. I follow each owner’s routine closely, feeding schedules, walk frequency, sleeping arrangements and any specific boundaries. I only take on bookings I can properly commit to, so your dog will have my full attention rather than being one of many. I’m comfortable managing different temperaments and energy levels and will keep communication clear with regular updates if wanted. For house sitting, I work remotely and can maintain your dog’s normal routine in their own home where appropriate. I respect your space and keep things clean, organised and consistent while you’re away
