About Benjamin

Hello! My name's Benjamin, I am a 21 year old born and bred Mountie, and I absolutely adore dogs with a passion. I love taking dogs on fun & exhausting runs and energy-rich play. I am also in the process of self-studying positive only obedience training and desensitisation walks for anxious dogs. I offer dog walks, check-ins and dog sitting - plus some extra services. If you're feeling guilty about leaving your dog home-alone during long work days, or don't want to put them into a kennel for a trip - my services are perfect for you. I assure you I will become your pups new best friend! I have experience with all types of dogs - large and small, nervous and confident as I have been walking dogs and dog sitting frequently for awhile now and I have the genuine motivation of wanting to be a positive influence on your dog, whether that be helping an anxious dog with positive experiences or just being that moment of pure joy in your dogs day that they associate to me!

When am I available? I am typically available every day of the week, morning to early afternoon.

Check-in service includes:

- Topping up your dog and other pets food & water, and checking their living space.

- 30 minutes worth of play and walk (add-ons available ie longer walk or fun engagement such as play or basic reinforcement training)

Dog walk service includes:

- 30 minute walk catered to your dog (such as gentle walk or high energy run, on or off lead - just let me know what your dog loves)

- 45 minute walk available for more high energy dogs

- Optional Apple AirTag on collar, for ease of mind. No extra charge

Dog sitting service includes:

- I stay at your house so that your dogs are safe and have company over night and during parts of the day.

- Your dogs will get lots of play, love and always one walk each day, and potentially an extra walk depending on the schedule and weather.

- Fully clean house for when you get back

What other services do I offer? I offer a "brush, shampoo and dry" service, where after a muddy or sandy walk I give your dog a brush and shampoo, so that you come home to a comfortable, happy and nice smelling dog!

- I am not trained to administer medication except for I have experience with medicinal pills in their kibble

- I am in the process of gaining experience training, but I do not have enough experience to charge. I do have with handling and helping anxious dogs.
