Highlights
Pet care experience
A new friend for your best friend!
From caring for pets with hip dysplasia, diabetes, strict diets, or just quirky personalities! I’ve had my share of experiences, and I have learned the following: staying calm, remembering to laugh, and an extra treat can go a long way. In my care, your pet will have undivided attention and fun, get lots of love and tummy rubs, and probably listen to me vent about life (what are friends for right?)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I am in your home I care for your pet how you would if you were there. Tell me what do to make your pet the happiest and more comfortable they can be!
Ratings and reviews
Ben was exceptional! We have a full house with 3 cats and a large dog that are new to living with each other but Ben took great care of everyone and made sure these anxious mamas were updated on the babies, despite us having limited service on our trip. When we returned, the house was tidy, he'd done his own laundry and our fur kids were all very happy and well cared for. Definitely will be booking him again when we need care!
Benjamin was amazing with our three dogs. They are not often left alone which caused a bit of nervousness (from them and also me!) Benjamin sent pictures during the evening and was always quick and professional when responding. Our most nervous dog was sitting on the couch with him shortly after we left! We definitely recommend Benjamin any time!
Another vacation away for us and another week Charlie our Golden retriever got to spend with Benjamin. Charlie seems to really enjoy his time with Ben. We highly recommend Ben for your house sitting and dog walking needs
Benjamin stayed at our house for 2 weeks looking after our Golden retriever Charlie. Everything went well and as planned. Charlie and Ben are now great friends, This is a great way to go on vacation and have your pet looked after. We highly recommend Benjamin if your looking for a sitter for your dog.
Ben has been so great with our two dogs, we’re so happy to have found him! We are on week two of regular walks and will happily continue to book with him as needed. Highly recommend, he’s easy going and flexible and our dogs love going for walks with him.
First time using Rover, Ben was great as this was the first time Charlie went with a stranger for a walk. Charlie warmed up to him quickly and I believe this is a start to a good thing. I recommend Benjamin for sure.

Schedule
I’m currently a student at Dalhousie completing an honours in Neuroscience (another thing your pet will have to listen to). My lab work is quite flexible and can be scheduled around the care your pet requires.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsBenjamin can host up to 1 pet per night
- For me, it’s important to know your pets daily routines: walking route, meal times, favourite toys etc. Beyond that: any medical or health concerns, behavioural quirks or concerns (especially friendliness to other people and pets). Or any other information pertinent to your pets well being and fun!
