Buddy Time!

Pet care experience

I have often taken care of pets for neighbours, friends and family. I love Dogs and they love me! I grew up helping to care for horses too, which is where my love for animals began.

Benjamin was great with April! They accepted a last minute booking for the holiday and welcomed April. Would recommend. Asked all the questions to make her stay comfortable and she was pampered.

Working with Benjamin was a joy. He has a flexible approach and a wonderfully calm personality, which compliments his rigorous approach to caring for dogs. Benjamin asked me creative questions on how to care for my dog, and I was impressed with his willingness to adapt his style to my preferences. Benjamin exceeded my expectations and delivered an exceptionally high standard of care for my dog, and service that met my every need. I would encourage you, dear reader, to trust your dog to Benjamin’s care.

Ben is wonderful with dogs and humans. My chocolate lab was always over the moon to see Ben and I trust him with his safety and well-being. Ben is a thoughtful and gentle care-taker of dogs, as my dog has special needs, but he also is playful and fun. Your dog will likely fall in love with Ben, just as mine did.

Safety, trust & environment

My home (2 bedroom apartment on main level of a converted home) is located in a quiet neighbourhood with many green spaces and off leash parks a short distance away. We like to get out for several walks a day and dogs always have complete freedom within our home to make themselves comfortable. Of course, we also want to respect your rules for being allowed on furniture and beds or around the kitchen and table during meal times as well.

Information Benjamin D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any specific needs or and preferences while on walks. I’d like to know how good your dogs recall is and if they have any issues with other dogs or specific breeds of dogs.

A typical day

I love to allow your dog to take their time and explore the world through their nose while we walk. I consider those walks to be their time and want them to use it to its fullest. I love finding nice wooded trails but I’m open to your suggestions. Eventually, if the dog and I are a good fit and we become good enough buds, I’d love to take them to an off leash park so they can make new dog pals or on off leash trails where they can fully explore their surroundings.
