About Ben

My partner Florence and I are animal lovers and have been caregivers to dogs and cats (including those with special needs) for many years.

Our homes have included dogs, whom we have helped feed, walk, train, and care for since we were young. We have also done cat and dog sitting/dog walking on and off over the years.

On a professional level - Florence works as a Veterinary Technician, while I worked for a summer at a dog daycare and kennel and volunteered at an animal sanctuary for another.

We have one cat, Raya, who has the run of the house. With her around, unfortunately we cannot dog or cat sit at our place.

However, be it in your home or outdoors, it would be our great pleasure to care for your four legged (or three, or two, or one-legged) friend.

We both work full-time, Mon to Thurs, and I work from home twice per week. We can generally care for your pet before or after work, as well as Fri-Sun when we are in town, but there is more flexibility on days I work from home.

We love playing with dogs and cats, but also appreciate relaxing times with them. We would be happy to care for your pet as if they were our own, and will follow your instructions for pet care depending on their needs and personality.

The types of questions we have about dogs are mostly about general behaviour - is your dog sociable with other dogs? With cats? With people? Scared by, or loves to play with / chase anything in particular? We'd like to know as much as possible about your dog's personality, likes and dislikes to help us take the best care possible.
