Highlights
Pet care experience
28 year old zoo keeper!
I have been a zoo keeper for the past 3 years, and have worked with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and have lived with a yellow lab. I have spent time looking after family and friends’ pets many times before!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have the availability to house pets at my home, but I am very willing to travel to the destination that is needed!
Ratings and reviews
Ben is very professional. Rusty is very lucky to have him for walks
Ben was fantastic! He took such great care of our dog Skye over a long weekend, and even went above and beyond to check on our cats too. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and total peace of mind. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking Ben again!
Ben Smith has cared for animals for many years, both professionally and personally, and has been an animal lover all his life. He has a worked with both shy and excited animals, and knows how to handle all different types of animal temperaments. He is patient and will always take the time to comfort each pet as if it were his own. Ben is also very used to physical work, and therefore would have no issues handling larger pets. Ben is very compassionate and well rounded, and therefore I know he would excel in this position
