Pet care experience
Calm Pack Leader Vibes Only.
Hi, I’m Ben - a dedicated and experienced dog care provider based in Madison. I offer a calm, structured, and safe home environment tailored to each dog’s needs. With years of experience in boarding, daycare, and behavior support, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’m currently working toward acquiring my Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) credentials, which trains to use only humane, science-based training methods. Whether your dog needs restful care or structured enrichment, I’m committed to providing consistent, attentive, and professional support.

Ratings and reviews
Always a pleasure having Sadie stay over with Ben. Ben is very accommodating, very responsive and easy to work with. We get daily updates and pictures and are informed of any concerns.
Ruby spent a week with Ben and his Lotus and Budha. Ruby likes going to Ben's house because she has dogs to play wiith and a yard for running around. I fear she gets bored at home. Thanks again Ben, we will see you in the future!
Floyd had a great time at Ben’s place while we were out of town. Ben was very accommodating and provided daily updates. Highly recommend
Easy to work with and was able to do drop in visits on very short notice. Will use again!
Great communication, easy to work with, great care for my dogs.
Ben did amazing with our 5 dogs. He knew exactly how to handle them and did it with ease. Will 100% be requesting his services again!

Schedule
I provide pet care full-time from home, which allows me to give each dog consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. My daily routine includes morning potty breaks, structured playtime, quiet rest periods, and regular outdoor walks or yard time. I tailor each dog’s schedule based on their individual needs—whether that’s extra enrichment, medication, crate time, or downtime. Because I’m home the majority of the day, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. My schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate early drop-offs, late pickups, and special routines upon request.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured, and clean environment with plenty of supervised attention throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes: • Regular potty breaks and outdoor time • Morning and afternoon enrichment or play • Personalized feeding schedules • Quiet rest periods • Medication administration if needed I limit the number of dogs I host at once to ensure individual care and safety. My home is dog-friendly and features secure areas for rest, play, and decompression. I also have two well-socialized resident dogs who help create a balanced social experience.
Pets
A typical day
I tailor activities to each dog’s personality, age, and energy level to make their stay enjoyable and enriching. Some of the fun things your dog can look forward to include: • Structured play sessions (fetch, tug, scent games) • Walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks • Mentally stimulating enrichment (puzzle toys, training games, nose work) • Relaxed outdoor time in a secure space • Socialization with my two friendly resident dogs (if appropriate) • Cuddles, companionship, and plenty of attention throughout the day Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply lounge in the sun, I create a safe and engaging environment they’ll enjoy.
