Missing my pup back home, need to share the love

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and have had my own dog, Thunder, since I was 20 - sadly she is still in New Zealand. But absolutely love dogs, so need to share some of what Thunder is missing.

Ben was absolutely brilliant and shows a genuine love towards dogs. Was great with communicating and would keep me updated with pictures. Would highly recommend and will be using him again

Ben looked after Blant for a week and did a great job. My dog is quite engaged and energetic, which requires plenty of walks and interactive play, and Ben handled this really well. I’ll definitely book Ben again!

Ben was absolutely brilliant with Tubs. Great communication, kept me updated & sent me lots of pics throughout the stay. Tubs was pretty sad to leave but will definitely use again - and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. Bonus points for having housemates who all loved dogs & meant that someone was always home! Thanks Ben!

Ben was a great sitter for my little munchkin Moose (Shih Tzu × Rottweiler) whilst we were away in Hamilton, NZ! He clearly knows dogs and made sure Moose was happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He sent updates and photos, and Moose came back wagging his tail like nothing had changed. Really trustworthy and friendly, would definitely book again!

Ben was wonderfull with our little Pug when he looked after him. Brucie took an immediate liking to Ben as we could tell he is great with dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more highly if you are in need of someone looking after your dog

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced outdoor area, close to parks down a quiet street. We have a clean, dog friendly house, with lots of toys to play with!

A typical day

Anything really, go to the park, go to the beach, go exploring if they don’t mind travelling. We have a very energetic house with plenty of people to play with, but also can chill if they prefer that.

Let me know if there’s anything we need to know, any medication, or specific things your dog needs. I’m sure we can accommodate and allow them to have a fun and relaxing stay!
