Highlights
Pet care experience
Active Dog Lover & Walker
I’m a genuine animal lover who has grown up around dogs, particularly huskies, so I understand the importance of regular exercise, attention, and care. Some of my favourite memories growing up were long walks with them, and that love for being outdoors with dogs has stayed with me. I enjoy walking and can provide a range of walk types depending on your dog’s needs — whether that’s a long, energetic walk to burn off energy, or a slower, gentle stroll for older dogs who just need regular movement and care. I’m happy to look after dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, and can also help with brushing and general care. Although I do work, I have the flexibility to work from home, which allows me to provide regular breaks, attention, and company throughout the day if needed. I’m doing this because I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them — it’s not just a job to me. I’m also happy to care for cats. While I have more hands-on experience with dogs, my family had cats while I was growing up, so I’m comfortable caring for them and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As I will be caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine and environment so they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods, and I always follow your instructions closely to ensure consistency. I provide plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise, tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and personality. For dogs, I can provide walks suited to their needs, from gentle strolls to longer, more energetic walks. For cats, I ensure feeding routines are followed, litter trays are kept clean, and they receive attention and care based on their temperament. I also respect your home and treat it with care, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, settled, and well looked after.
Ratings and reviews
Ben was an amazing cat sitter for us! We would highly recommend him. We were able to really relax knowing that our cat had company and was being looked after. Then offered us to update us as much or as little as we wanted which was great, communication was perfect and the house was spotless we returned. Thanks so much!
Ben was incredible with our old girl. Highly recommended, lovely chap and great service. Thanks Ben!
Very happy to have Ben take care of Rafferty for us again - plans were made very easily, Ben did exactly what we needed him to with Raff and kept us updated - and Rafferty will have been very happy to see him again!
Very glad to have found Ben in Bexhill - he made the time to come and meet with our dog the day before our booking, and did a great job taking him for a couple of walks whilst we were out for the day. It was a hot day and Ben paced the activities to keep the hound entertained and comfortable. We got good updates - very happy to use Ben again for walks and visits when we’re out
Ben was recommended to me recently and I’ve got to say I’m so pleased. He popped in to check up on our Pup and gave her tonnes of fuss and played with her too, which is so much better than previous check ins I’ve had which have just been a tick box exercise. He even sent photos and you can see she was having a wonderful time with Ben! I will certainly be asking for Ben’s help again soon. Thanks!
Absolutely fantastic, my dog loved his time with Ben, he kindly sent me photo updates of him and when I was running a little late, told me not to worry and kept him a little longer! Can’t recommend him enough, thanks Ben!

Schedule
I currently work in a role that allows me to work remotely, so I’m happy to work from your home if needed. This also means I can take regular breaks throughout the day to ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I can provide a range of walks to suit your dog’s needs — whether that’s a gentle stroll or a more energetic walk to burn off some energy. I’m also happy to assist with brushing and general care. I’m available to house sit during the day while you’re at work, or for longer periods while you’re away on holiday. I understand how important peace of mind is, so I’m always happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. If you only require dog walking, I’m more than happy to help with this too, and I can be flexible with times — just let me know what works best for you.
