The visit

Your pets stay home, in their own routine, and Ben comes to them. Dogs, cats and every other kind of pet, looked after the way you’d do it yourself, while you’re at work, away for the day or just need a hand.

Questions

Which towns do you cover?

Rumson, Atlantic Highlands and the towns around them, like Fair Haven, Little Silver, Sea Bright, Red Bank and Middletown. If you’re not sure yours is included, just ask.

What kinds of pets do you care for?

Dogs, cats and every other kind of pet. If yours is a little unusual, just ask.

Can you give medication?

Yes. Ben gives pills and liquid medicine exactly as your vet directs. If your pet needs injections, like insulin, he’ll talk it through with you at the meet and greet.

How long is a visit?

Thirty minutes, enough for meals, fresh water, clean-up and real company. If your pets need longer, add extra time, up to an hour.

How do I change or cancel a visit?

Give Ben at least 24 hours’ notice and there’s no charge. With less notice, it’s half the visit. On the same day, or once Ben is at your door, it’s the full visit. There’s never a fee when Ben calls off a visit for weather, and he’s glad to waive it for a real emergency.

Which days count as holidays?

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

How far ahead should I book?

At least a week ahead, so Ben can hold your spot. Need something sooner? Call or text 908-239-4325 and he’ll see what he can do. Bookings made with less than 24 hours’ notice add $15.
