Highlights
Pet care experience
They call me Dr. Dolittle… I talk to the animals
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.
Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
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.
We have had Ben house sit out two dogs Hilda and Arthur this weekend Highly recommend Ben, He arranged to come round to meet us and the dogs before the booking Very good communication, both our dogs have been very happy with him We will definatly br asking Ben back to dog sitting again
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 👍👍😊
Thank you Ben for looking after Baloo and our home. I can recommend Ben, he visited Baloo twice before coming to stay to get used to the house and getting to know Baloo. Came back to a happy Pug and a very tidy house. Thank you again Gill
Ben is a trusted and caring dog sitter - more than that in truth to our family now. He has genuine love and care for our pups and looks after our home in the backdrop of sitting. I couldn't recommend him highly enough

Schedule
I work as a sessional lecturer at a uni and my schedule is very flexible. I have 2 half days and one full day off during the week and I have about 15 weeks holiday a year, so plenty of opportunity to look after dogs :)
