Pet care experience
Home all day and large fenced yard!
When I was 20 I spent a year training sled dogs in Maine. After caring for 15+ huskies, I've always loved dogs, especially big ones! We have our own two year old Pyre-Doodle who loves playing with other pups and would happily share his home!

Ratings and reviews
Ben & Fred were great! Love bringing home a tired pup! Ben was great at communicating both before and during the dog sitting. Fred is such a sweet pup and I felt really comfortable leaving my dog there for the day. Loved the photo updates too. Will definitely rebook :)
Ben is amazing. He took such good care of my puppy that she was always happy to be dropped off. I feel so blessed that I was able to find Ben for my Reya.
Ben and his family were great. Our dog fit right in and we really appreciated the pictures.
Ben was amazing and flexible with our dog Leo. He was able to drop off and pick up him up as my flights were at odd hours. I got plenty of updates and photos which I appreciate. I will def be booking again!
Ben did amazing taking care of Akamaru. I got daily updates so I felt very at ease. Akamaru also seems to have found a great friend in Fred!
Ben and Summer took wonderful care of Hana and Soba! They gave us routine updates which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town- everything went perfectly smooth. And of course can’t forget Fred who was super friendly and we can tell all the pups had a blast!

Schedule
Both my wife and I work from home full-time and have lots of time to play with the dogs. If the dates are available, the dogs will be well loved and looked after. We do occasional walks but have a yard that allows for great exercise and play!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We will only ever allow one family's dog or dogs plus our own dog Fred. Environments with too many dogs can be stressful for boarding dogs, so we will keep it low key and personal for your visiting dog. They have safe indoor and outdoor access and we can easily accommodate meal/medicine needs. We do have a 9 month old girl who is used to having dogs around. While she will never be left unsupervised in the same area as your dog, please let me know if you have any concerns about a baby being around. I'm available for pickup and drop-off for an additional fee.

A typical day
We have space for fetch and tag in the back yard. Our daughter loves watching dogs play so I spend a lot of time during the day in the backyard with them. We do family walks when the weather is nice. The dogs aren't allowed on the furniture except for one chair that has a view of the street to keep an eye on the neighborhood happenings!
