Safety, trust & environment

I tend to look after dogs in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I get to know their routines, their quirks and their likes exceptionally quickly, so that I can establish a close bond. I also double up as a nifty house sitter, as I’m incredibly tidy and take a lot of pride in looking after people’s homes when they are away.

Information Ben H. would like to know about your pet

If the dog requires any medication to be administered. Whether the dog has any specific triggers to avoid. What loves and interests your dog has!

A typical day

Walks to a variety of areas Games of fetch Plenty of cuddles and attention Playing with toys Trips in the car to open, green areas

Pet care experience

I’ve co-raised a puppy from the age of 3 months to 4 years old, staying at the owner’s house 5 days a week for several months. Looked after a variety of dogs for weekends or 10-14 day stints. Dogs are everything to me! I spoil them, entertain them, give them lots of affection, but can also help to train them and establish important boundaries.

Ben is great with my two dogs and they love being with him Honest, reliable and takes very good care of my pets. Good communicator and professional. I have Ben rebooked for August and have no hesitation in recommending him.

Ben came and looked after our 2 vizslas for a week. They are 2 very active dogs who need lots of exercise and affection. Ben coped really well with their different needs and kept us updated all week so we could relax. The dogs both looked happy and relaxed on our return. We would highly recommend Ben and will definitely use him again 👍👍😊
