Highlights
Pet care experience
Sitter & walker with 2 decades' experience
Animal-mad sitter and walker with decades of experience! I've always loved dogs, cats and everything in between. I've been around animals from an early age and have owned many dogs, cats and rabbits. I've owned dogs of all sizes. From German Shepherds and Labradors to Rottweillers and Jack Russells. All of these were rescues. I also have experience of difficult dogs and dogs with health issues too. My late boy had many health challenges in old age and difficult behaviour as a result. So I'm well equipped to care for most dogs, whatever their needs. I'm great with cats too! I've had many of my own before and I love looking after my family's feline friends. I work from home 3 days a week, so I'll be able to give your pet the attention it needs. I also have a good sized secure garden for your dogs to chase balls and get the zoomies in! I can be available at short notice and am able to do meet and greets or familiarisation visits. I can offer boarding, walking, doggy day care and drop-in visits too. Drop me a message with any questions!

Ratings and reviews
It was lovely meeting Benjamin and his wife. They are such beautiful souls and very friendly. Simba had sooo much fun whole day. Thank you for taking him for lake side walk I'm sure he loved his first experience to that. We will meet soon. Thanks alot. Forever friend Simba and his parents.
Benjamin is Absolutely amazing. From the meet and great itself it was clear he loves dogs. Fudge appeared so happy and loved when we went to collect him after his actual stay. Communication was great and I am sure Fudge would love to stay with Benjamin again!
Ben was incredible! Really last minute request but he was brilliant with Maximus and provided updates throughout the day with plenty of pictures!
Hi I’m Benji’s Dad. Benji has lived with our family dogs for most of his life. He totally adores dogs and has extensive experience of caring for and exercising them. His favourite pastime is to be out with them for a walk. He took on a family dog on his own 4 years ago and did a brilliant job. Inky was a rescue dog who had lots of issues and in the last 18 months became very ill. Benji went above and beyond expectation caring for Inky in very difficult circumstances. I would thoroughly recommend Benji to Rover. Your dog will be safe and happy in his hands.
Benji has looked after my wonderfully crazy Labrador and I wouldn’t trust anyone more now with looking after her. He treats your pet like he would his own and he’ll make sure you know your fur baby is well looked after by giving plenty of photo updates!

Schedule
I work at home 2-3 days a week and am available some weekends too. So I can look after your pets comfortably when working at home. When working at home, I'm able to do drop-in visits during the day and evening too.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can care for your pets just as you would like. Pets can have free rein of my home and garden. Feeding schedules can be tailored. The garden is fenced and the home secured. Pets can use the bed or sofa and the toys I have here. They can also have their own beds and toys too
A typical day
Your pet will have all the fun and attention they need! I have a good sized secure garden for dogs. Your dog will have a choice of several local lakes to walk round, or the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside just minutes' drive away. I'm nearby to secure dog fields and dog parks too. Whether a dog or cat, I have a range of toys for them to play with. Your pet will also have a cosy spot to chill, with a dog bed, sofa and other comfy spots to choose from. I can tailor my routine to allow for any feeding schedule or other needs.
