Highlights
Pet care experience
Home from home pet care!
I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family would foster rescue dogs, so we often had dogs live with us with complex behavioural and medical needs. My entire adult life I have owned my own pets and have regularly cared for those of my friends and family. I work from home with flexible hours, so will always be around for your pet. They will never be left alone during their stay here. I also take all visiting dogs out with me, such as visiting family or for dinner, so they will get plenty of socialising during their stay.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ziggy was once again well looked after while we took a short weekend away. No concerns at all :)

Once again, everything went perfectly. It’s a relief knowing Ziggy is in good hands, especially during extreme weather. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.

Lovely friendly couple welcomed Belle. She was relaxed and settled. Very happy.

Jude seemed very happy after her stay with Ben!

Ben looked after Pablo really well. Walked him on the embankment and sent photos with updates Thank you Ben Danny

I would highly recommend Ben if you’re looking for a dog sitter. Communication was quick and clear, and he gave us updates on how Jude was getting on during her stay and took her for a lovey long walk. We’ll be using Ben again!

Schedule
I currently work flexibly from home, so I can meet a dogs needs quite easily and be very adaptable in the care I am able to provide.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden and are right next to the river for plenty of walking. If your dog sleeps upstairs with you, I will replicate this during their stay with me so they feel as comfortable as possible.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me, starts with a short 20 minuet walk after drop off followed by some play time. I'd usually then get on with work for a few hours as your dog is resting. At lunch time I can provide hour long walks if required, and then a third short walk in the afternoon prior to them being collected.
