Information Ben H. would like to know about your pet

Dogs with special needs are welcomed. If your pet needs special care I’m sure it won’t be a problem. Visits are welcomed pre-appointment so your dog can get used to us, no problem.

A typical day

Always some body at home to keep your dog company. Usually up at 5am so early walks are no problems. Like to keep active so plenty of walks and trips out during the day if necessary.

Location

Huddersfield, United Kingdom

Ben H.'s Neighborhood

Professional walker, postman for 30 years.

Pet care experience

Always been around pets, especially dogs, since childhood. Absolutely love animals, and so does the wife. Both now semi-retired so we are looking to fill our time by doing something we love. Looked after friends and family pets previously… the longest stint being a Victorian Bulldog that we looked after for 7 months!

Sally got excited as soon as she realised we were parked outside Ben's, to drop her off. It says it all when your dog runs into a house, rolls around the rug and bounces all over her keeper for the week. She didn't even turn to see us go. A week later we picked up a very happy, well cared for pooch. Thanks to Ben and his lovely family, Sally had another great holiday and we got to enjoy ours knowing she was having a great time.

When we picked up Sally from Ben's, after her 8 day stay, she was her happy, giddy self and was clearly enjoying her stay with Ben and his lovely family. I am so happy to find a home-from-home where I know Sally will have a lovely holiday when we are having ours.

Ben had my babies for a week. In October, they were still alive which is a good sign. 😂 but honestly they had that much of a good time I think they wanted to stay for longer. Very nice bloke. Will be using bens service again on our next holiday.

We always feel Ronnie is in safe hands when he stays with Ben and his family. He goes out on plenty of walks, is so well cared for and we get lots of updates and photos too. Thank you 🤩
