Pet care experience
I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs and Golden Retrievers, helping with caring for a litter of retriever puppies. Our Goldendoodle, Bear, is three years old and loves swimming and stealing my spot in bed. We rescued our German Shepherd, Bozeman, at 4 months old. He's my early-rising study and running buddy.
Reviews
Our dog had a great time! We got lots of pictures during her stay. Will definitely rebook!
Ben and his wife were awesome! We got lots of pics and our dog seemed to have a great time! She got along well with their dogs as well! Will definitely be using them fmthe next time we need a sitter!
Ben was great with my dog while I went out of a town for a week. He sent plenty of pictures and she appeared to be enjoying herself. Ben even offered to pick up and drop off to make it more convenient for me. Highly recommend and I’ll look to book with him in the future.
These two took stellar care of my dog. They updated me with pictures throughout the visit and were extremely friendly and accommodating when I contacted them last minute. Their dogs were also very friendly and even managed to wear out my seemingly indefatigable puppy. I would have my dog stay here again in a heartbeat. I don’t think I could have gotten better care for my dog anywhere.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a yard big enough for dogs to zoom (though we never leave our dogs outside by themselves) Our friendly goldendoodle and german shepherd are well-accustomed to other dogs and have spent many hours at dog parks and trails since they were little. They are both energetic tug-of-war players and enthusiastic nappers, each occupying one end of the couch. Our two cats, Kenai and Lazy, don't mind dogs, but also don't like being chased, understandably. Whether your dog prefers a large space or prefers to be in an area like a gated bathroom, we can accommodate their needs, having our dogs stay in our bedroom if we're out of the house briefly.

Information Ben M. would like to know about your pet
For boarding, we're fine with any breed, but prefer to board large dogs. Let us know their feeding schedule, how often they need to be let out, and any other needs and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
A typical day
Our dogs love hiking with us and playing at the dog park. We’re happy to take your dog with us to the dog park or on leash on trails.

Availability
My wife and I are accustomed to having an extra dog since we often trade dog-sitting favors with friends. Currently, my wife works remotely and is available for drop offs most days of the week.
