Doggy Day Care • Apr 16, 2026

Ben is great at daycare. He makes sure the pups get along and are a good fit before bringing a new one in the pack.

Ben has gone above and beyond, and is very professional. My new rescue dogs are Quite a Handful, and he was able to manage them and give me some excellent tips

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard and two friendly Jack Russell terriers. Dogs are welcome where they are comfortable—floor, couch, bed, crate. We love going on walks by the Mystic River or in the Fells.

Pets

A typical day

We have a swath of walking, hiking and biking trails near us. I love walking along the Mystic River, or to the nearby fields. The most enjoyable thing is just snuggling, but getting out in some fresh air is common. They wont lack for love and attention!

Ben can host up to 1 pet per night
Ideally a meet and greet, but just how the dog is with other animals, with children, with adolescents or adults behaving like children, reactions to things like sirens or thunder, if house trained, any potentially destructive behavior (like protesting being left alone with a stranger and taking it out on the couch).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
