Pet care experience

Your Pets New Bestie

I grew up with a loving English Bull Terrier who was truly part of the family. He set the bar for how fun, gentle and full of personality dogs can be -also helping with family friends conquering their fears of dogs and we still laugh about his antics today. In recent years l've looked after friends' and family's dogs while they've been away, making sure they're fed, walked, played with and properly cared for. I absolutely love going on long walks, so having a four-legged pal to join me is always a joy.

Ben was great- such a lovely person. My dog loved him and his Dad. I had no problems with Milo’s stay and the drop off and pick up went smoothly. I will book Ben again without a doubt!

Be. Stepped in last minute to have my mums dog Buddy while she had a stint in hospital. Buddy loves cuddles I know Ben made sure he felt safe and secure and made sure he got a decent walk once it had cooled down. Thanks Ben. 🙏

Ben looked after Alfie so well. And in a heatwave too! He found him a fan and made frozen treats, which was above and beyond what I expected. Alfie seemed to really bond with him. I will definately be booking Ben again, with confidence.

I cannot recommend Ben enough. I have a pair *M/F Bull terriers. They are wonderfully comedic and a lot of work. I have not found anyone in my 5+ years of ownership to take care of them while I travel. Until I booked Ben. Plenty of familiarity beforehand. Lots of local walks in semi rural area. I will absolutely be asking Ben to take care of my dogs everytime I travel in the future. Highly recommended! Xx

Can't fault Ben, Frodo was a very happy dog when I picked him up. Ben sent me pictures of him having fun whilst I was away, replied promptly to messages, thoroughly recommend.

Super responsive and a true dog lover. Absolutely the only person I trust with my 2 crazy English Bull Terriers. Even had them sleeping in the same bed, they are an old married couple so no easy feat! They are both very different characters and you catered for thier every need. Would not trust ANYONE else to look after my dogs. Thanks Ben (and Steve of course!) For taking such good care of the crazy twins! You are the best!! Xx

Safety, trust & environment

I'm really careful and attentive when it comes to pets. I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and settled. I follow whatever routine you already have in place, keep an eye on things, and make sure the environment is calm and secure - doors checked, no hazards around and plenty of time spent making sure they're happy - treating them with the same care and patience I'd give my own.

A typical day

I always enjoy going on long walks or hikes, either in the countryside or down to the beach along with occasional socialising with friends who I know will also love a four legged friend to join.
