Pet care experience
Experienced cat & dog lover! :)
Hi there! My name is Ben, I live with my lovely wife Patricia in the Mission Beach area. We’re available all week & weekends to sit your furry friend at our place! We usually go 4 to 5 times a day to the bay & beach for long walks. I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals, my close friends call me the French Ace Ventura. :) No kidding! Your pet will be safe with me, be sure I will take care of him / her as if my own! I'm a very reliable person, punctual and trustworthy. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. We can also meet & greet beforehand if you wish as I know shy animals need some time to warm up with strangers.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ben and Patricia are very accommodating, understanding, and reliable. I had to cancel my booking last month due to a family issue, and when I rebooked for this month, they had no problem accommodating me. Ben and Patricia have cared for my pup several times, from short weekend trips to stays as long as three weeks. My pup always loves staying with them, and I’ve never had any problems or concerns. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that my pup is happy and well cared for while I’m away. I truly appreciate Ben and Patricia and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitters!
Ben was absolutely fantastic with Benny! Throughout the stay, he was super communicative and kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos. He took Benny out to the bay to play, and it was so clear from the updates that Benny had an amazing time and was super happy. On top of being wonderful with Benny, Ben was extremely accommodating and flexible when our flight got delayed, making our later pickup completely stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
thank you so much! kobi’s favorite second family ♡
Ben was great! My dog is a chill little guy, professional relaxer. I’ve had other sitters that have tried to “entertain him” by taking him on big outings etc. While it’s clear Ben has done big walks and outings with other dogs, I really appreciate that he went with my dog’s rhythm on what he was up for. This is the first time I’m picking my dog up totally relaxed. Other times he’s been exhausted, not in a good way but in a way that I feel like he was over-stressed while I was gone. Ben was great at working with Jacques and adapting to his pace. So grateful for that!
Another wonderful stay with Ben and Patricia! Bruno is so comfortable with Ben that I think he likes him more than he likes me 🙈 I feel so lucky to have such great sitters like Ben and Patricia who I can rely on! Until next time :)
My cat Bruno had another amazing stay with Ben! Ben and Patricia are kind, attentive, and always keep me updated on how Bruno is doing :) It gives me so much peace of mind to have a reliable sitter who I can trust! Bruno is already going back to them again later this month!

A typical day
We live on Mission Beach, so the bay and the beach are our backyards. If you'd like, we can take your dog on long walks on the bay and even go for a swim (always with the owner permission). For longer stays, we can also visit some dog's parks or the Dog's beach, in OB.
