Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs > Humans.
Between us, we have spent our whole lives around dogs. Ben grew up with two much-loved Cocker Spaniels, Dusty and Sweep, while Arabella grew up with her Yorkshire Terrier, Max. We have both been involved in the daily care of our family pets, from feeding and walking to playtime, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. Caring for dogs is something that comes naturally to us, and we understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after. While we are not professional dog trainers, we are patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable and relaxed in our care. We know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and we’ll always take the time to get to know them. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply having company and cuddles, we’ll treat them as if they were our own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Benjamin and Arabella took such excellent care of my dog. He came back happy and well rested. I appreciated the fact that Benjamin and Arabella sent updates and photos and took him for long walks and bathed him afterwards. I know he was in such good hands as they cared for him like he was part of their family. Thank you so much Benjamin and Arabella!
We’ve spoken to Rosie and gained extensive feedback from her, the client, she feels Ben and Arabella are excellent companions for the weekend and is available to go the pub with them at anytime. She made lots of friends and was very relaxed
Ben and Arabella were great with our Charley, they kept us updates with pictures and were prompt with comms. Would highly recommend.
Benjamin took wonderful care of our mini dacschund Rocky. His communication was great throughout the process and we felt very confident that Rocky would have a good day! We will definitely be booking again.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben for the role of dog sitter. Ben has grown up with dogs and has always been keenly involved with both our family dogs and those of friends. During vacations from university Ben often helped walk and care for friends dogs whilst the owner was working or away. Ben has a warm, friendly and fun loving disposition. He loves the outdoors and would be a great companion for a canine friend on a walk. Ben understands the close bond between dog and family and the level of trust required to hand over a pet to someone else's care. I am confident that he would do all he could to offer reassurance, warmth and care whilst looking after someone`s pet. Ben appreciates the importance of ensuring that dogs are kept safe and under control at all times. He is trust worthy and could be relied upon. Having lived with dogs at home until leaving for university, he has experienced dogs from puppyhood to old age and has an understanding of their differing needs. I wish him well.
Great bloke, will not let you or your dog down. I’ve personally had him look after my cats and dogs and all have come back with raving reviews about him. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a great place for their dog to chill.

Schedule
Our jobs allow us to work from home and have a flexible schedule, which is ideal for walks, feeding, and giving your dog attention throughout the day. At weekends we both enjoy getting out and about in local green spaces. With your permission, we’re happy to take your dog on longer walks and outings. However, your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and we will only ever do what you are happy with, including avoiding busy areas or public transport if preferred. We’re flexible and attentive, and will always adapt to your dog’s needs and routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are fortunate to live in a fantastic location between Highgate Wood and Queen’s Wood, giving us easy access to two beautiful green spaces right on our doorstep. This means your dog will have plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, fresh air, and stimulation throughout their stay. While we don’t have a private garden, we make up for it with regular outdoor time and access to some of North London’s best woodland walking routes. We take a 1-hour lunch, which we will use for walking our four-legged friend. Our work schedule is flexible, so if the dog is feeling energetic, we can pop out for a quick walk anytime. Happy for pets to be on sofas, chairs, beds, etc. (as long as they haven’t just had a swim or discovered mud), so they will always get plenty of attention.
