Availability
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.

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.

Does the dog have food aggression? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Are they an escape artist? Has the dog done daycare/boarding before today?
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.

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.
Reviews
Ruby had a great time overnight with Ben and his pack. Ruby needed the break to play and run around with Lotus and Budha in the big fenced in yard. Ruby slept all afternoon after we picked her up. Thanks Ben!
Always a pleasure having Sadie stay with Ben. Very easy to schedule and always kept updated.
Ben took great care of our dog Louie over the weekend. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to board their dog.
Ruby spent ten days with Ben and his pack. We got daily pictures and video. Ruby looked like she was having fun with Lotus and Budha. Ben is a great sitter!
