Pet care experience

Your pet’s best friend? THAT’S ME😁

Hi, I’m Benjamin, a genuine animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have two dogs, a cat, and a cockatiel of my own, so I understand just how much your pets mean to you, and the trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, keeping up with special diets, or helping puppies with training, I bring patience, calm energy, and real knowledge to the job. I’m confident with pet nutrition and always happy to adapt to your animal’s specific needs and routines. While I don’t offer childcare, I do bring a few added skills that many clients find useful: • I’m a qualified masseuse (which can be especially comforting for older or anxious pets) • I speak six languages fluently: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Twi • I’m a confident driver and happy to help with vet appointments or errands • I also have practical handyman experience and a background in teaching both music and languages I treat every home and every animal with care, respect, and attention to detail, just like I would with my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help.

Schedule

Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. Since I work part-time, I’m able to prioritise my free time around my pet’s and my customers pet’s needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time together. I make sure they’re happy, healthy, and feel loved every day.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets, whether in my home or theirs, I always stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re well fed, exercised, and showered with love and attention. Keeping their environment clean and safe is a top priority, and if the owner wants, I’m happy to build simple things for the pets to play with and enjoy. I’m always mindful of any special needs or instructions the owner provides. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels completely comfortable, happy, and loved, just like they would with their own family

Pets

A typical day

I like to keep pets active, happy and comfortable while also giving them plenty of calm time to rest. A typical day would include walks, playtime, basic training and lots of positive interaction. For a dog, I start with a toilet break and a relaxed morning walk, allowing them to sniff and explore. During the day, I include games such as fetch, tug of war and simple training exercises using treats and positive reinforcement. I also give them quiet periods to rest, as dogs need downtime as well as exercise. With the owner’s permission, I also enjoy giving dogs a little adventure and variety. Depending on their needs and the owner’s preferences, I can take them hiking, to the seaside for a change of scenery, or even for a simple day out in Central London to explore and experience different environments. I make sure they always have fresh water, follow their owner’s feeding routine, and take them outside regularly for toilet breaks. Before the end of the day, I give them another walk and make sure they are calm and comfortable before going home. Most importantly, I follow the owner’s instructions and adapt everything to the individual pet’s age, personality, energy level and needs. My goal is for every pet to have a safe, enjoyable and enriching day while their owner is away.

I would like to know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, allergies or dietary requirements. I would also like to know about their usual feeding and toilet routine, exercise needs, behaviour around other dogs and people, and whether they have any fears or triggers. It would also be helpful to know if they are comfortable travelling by car or public transport, if they can be off lead, and any commands or routines they are used to at home. Most importantly, I want to understand their personality and what makes them feel safe, happy and comfortable.
