Dog Heaven on a horse farm

Pet care experience

My name is Ben and I have been a dog lover as long as I can remember. My girlfriend and I live on a horse farm with our three dogs Calvin, Beckett, and Hutch (2 Shihtzu mixes and a Belgian Sheepdog). We often foster rescue dogs and many of the riders' dogs come visit daily, so your dog definitely won't be lonely! I work nights and weekends at a restaurant so during the day I take care of the dogs and while I am gone my girlfriend keeps an eye on things. We have a fenced in yard behind the house where the dogs can run free and play to their heart's content. The farm features acres of pasture and trails where the dogs can go for walks and get plenty of exercise. Dogs who are good with horses and are off-leash trained are welcome to join me on a trail ride or trail run as well!

Ben always provides extra-special care for Mina. Mina always can't wait to be on Ben's farm with the "pack" and comes home tired and happy. We love Ben, and will be back for more doggie fun on the farm!

Logan had a good time at Ben's place on the farm. We know because he was tired, but in a good way. We were comfortable with Ben because of his experience with other dogs (fostering) and with the farm setting. Thanks, Ben.

Our dog had a blast staying with Ben. She got to run and play with other dogs, and even horses. Ben was communicative and flexible when our schedule changed a little. We’ll definitely be bringing her back to have “fun on the farm”.

Ben welcomed our two dogs into his home, and they enjoyed spending time with Ben and his dogs. This was our first time working with Ben and we were extremely happy with our experience. We received daily updates on our dogs, including pictures and videos, and it was very reassuring to know that the dogs were happy and enjoying their time away as much as we were. We look forward to working with Ben in the future!
