Pet care experience

To date, there have been more than 80 work-from-home operations, some for as short as 3 days, and some as long as 2 months. I want to sit as much as possible for the next 3 years. This is beneficial for clients who want regular babysitting from one year to the next. I take care of dogs and cats most of the time but can handle most animals with no problem. I take care of large dogs like a Great Dane, but equally happy to take care of small or multiple dogs and cats. I own a Nissan XTrail with large boots for comfortable transportation for non-native walks and trips that require vets. If your pet is taking any medication, it will be happy to take it as well. I am a loving, sensible, serious and down-to-earth person. I'm actually handy too if I have any minor issues with home maintenance while I'm sitting. Great for animals and make sure they are well cared for. Mature, very reliable, honest and trustworthy.

As always, Ben is an excellent nanny. He stayed with us on many occasions and always took good care of our animals and house. This visit was no exception. In fact, he was very helpful and supportive during the emergency we encountered, and I am very grateful to him.

Safety, trust & environment

To help those who want to leave for the holidays, keep their house and pets well cared for and give them peace of mind without having to put their pets in the care of a noisy kennel. I like to live in a different place and it works for my current lifestyle as I don't currently live in my own house. One of the good things about choosing me is that I do plan to sit at home for many years, so if you can, you can book me again from one year to the next, knowing that you can visit your trusted regular babysitter.

Information Ben H. would like to know about your pet

The breed of the dog, the weight, the kind of activity the dog likes, the people, the food, whether the dog likes to sleep or go out for a walk.

A typical day

Let the dog chase the toy This is also a game to exercise the dog's hunting instinct, dangling in front of the dog with a plush toy, imitating the real animal to crawl on the ground. If the dog is interested, try moving forward, or move the toy out of the dog's grasp. If the dog happily chases after you, try hiding the toy behind your back. Then the dog will look at you with a strange look, and then you take out the toy from behind to make it happy. This kind of chase game is especially suitable for small dog breeds. If your house is spacious enough, you can also try to make it happy. The game of throwing the toy out and letting the dog pick it up. When the dog retrieves the toy and returns it to you, clap your hands and praise it, and then repeat the process. Of course, this kind of play is not limited to small dogs, medium and large dogs can also play with them in this way.
