About Ben

Hey y'all, 

My name's Ben and for five years now I've been working on and off as a pet sitter. Starting off for simply family and friends, along with their family and friends. Now I'm also pet-sitting, as well as dog walking, for various other people around Melbourne.

I’ve always been an animal lover and have never come across a single pet that I didn’t want to get to know and be friends with.

I currently work part-time as a gardener, as well as studying part-time in animal care services. But I can be very flexible in terms of arranging when I can come and take care of your pet. I’m also more than happy to accommodate your needs and would work in accordance with your plans and schedule.

If I was to come and pet sit for you for the first time, I would greatly appreciate if you gave me any instructions in writing and told me a little about your pet, their specific needs and even their personality! This is always helpful and enables me to provide a very high standard of care, and a customised service.

My price for dog walking is for half-hour walks. But I'm also happy to make it a whole hour for just an extra one-third of the price.

For long distance travel to your place, I may need to charge a few dollars extra to help cover the cost of fuel. However, if you happen to live just a short drive from me, you might just be in for a discount. This can apply to petsitting as well!

I look forward to the opportunity to meeting your pet and making sure they them well looked after.

Cheers.
