Dog loving family

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Ben, I live on my own with my two children Sophie (9) and Jack (7) who absolutely adore dogs and are very sensible around them. Soph and Jack are with me for a week at a time - week on week off so sometimes it will just be me looking after your dog. We consider dogs to be a part of the family.

Ben and his family looked after our little ball mad sausage dog Queenie for two weeks! Queenie had a wonderful time, walks up the Wrekin, lots of throwing balls (her favourite thing to do), making new friends, snuggles and zoomies. Ben kept us updated regularly, sent pictures and videos. We definitely recommend Ben and you can be assured your precious pooch is in the best place whilst you’re away.

Ben was amazing from initial arrangement to return of jerry our chihuahua. Went out of his way to negotiate a suitable sitting even tho he had other plans to attend to. Jerry is a nervous dog yet he quickly bonded with Ben his children and his partner's dog . Also received many photos, videos and updates though out our holiday to reassure us jerry was doing fine. Will definitely put Ben at the top of my favourite sitters for any future occasions. John n mark 😉

Great dog sitter. Ben sent lots of pictures to keep us updated and Ron seemed very happy there, especially as he got lots of fuss from Ben’s children!

Milo had a great time with Ben and his family and was well looked after, walked and played with. I would recommend Ben and Milo looks forward to a return visit.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 3 bedroom house with a nice fully enclosed garden and plenty of parks and beautiful countryside on our doorstep. We haven't taken the plunge and got a dog of our own (yet) but we love dogs and live vicariously through our friends and their pets. We're always out walking (with or without a mutt in tow) and often have dogs to stay when friends or family are away on holiday. I always had dogs growing up and both my sisters have dogs too so we visit them whenever we can. I'll be the one looking after the dogs day to day, but the kids won't be far away and ready for endless fuss and play. We'd be so happy to have your dog come and stay so you can rest assured that they will be very well looked after.
