Experienced Care for ALL Size Pups!
Pet care experience
*Instagram: @thatdoginme_gv (feel free to follow us for daily updates on all our guests stays)* My wife and I have been dog lovers since we were both small children & have grown up with dogs our whole lives. We have extensive experience caring for all ages of dogs. We currently have 2 senior pups; Kiki (18 year old chihuahua mix) and Zane (10 year old Cattle dog mix) that were both raised from puppies and are great with other dogs! I have 8 years of experience working in the Kennel/Daycare space. I’ve supervised play groups of all sizes of up to 30 dogs at a time and provided overnight care of similar size. We have a large fenced in yard and both work from home, so we can spend ample amounts of time with your dogs when they stay with us. We have flexible schedules and are often available anytime. We are completely open to having multiple dogs at our place as long as everyone gets along. We request to meet beforehand to ensure it is a great fit for everyone. Together, my wife and I are able to provide 24/7 top notch care for all of our guests. We will gladly send you updates with pictures and videos of your pup while they are with us throughout the day. We're also happy to supervise play times and give walks if requested. Staying connected is a major part of what we do so that you will be kept informed of everything related to your pet during their stay. We will do everything our power to ensure that you are put at ease! We're excited to meet new dogs in our area and make new friends! ~Ben & Alexis
Reviews
Ben and Alex are great sitters! Our Sadie came home happy and tired. They went on several walks and they made her feel at home.
10/10 would recommend having your dog stay with Ben and Alexis. They sent daily updates and you can follow their instagram to see live updates of your dog. Winnie had so much fun playing with the other pups and made lots of new friends. Everyone has plenty of room in their large yard. You can tell Ben and Alexis really love the animals they care for. Winnie will definitely be visiting again.
So happy to see my dog after 5 days…. He was in wonderful hands - Ben and Lexi kept me posted several times a day and sent the cutest videos!
Benjamin & Alexis were wonderful, very responsive to all texts, set up meet and greet right away, our pup was excited to go back after first meeting! Huge fenced in yard - very well set up for watching dogs❤️ They sent pictures and update which is always appreciated! Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
We want all guests to come here and feel as relaxed and cherished as possible, just like they would when they’re with their family. This should be a joyful getaway for your dog just as much as it is for you. We have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space for the dogs to roam. Plenty of space for crates (if you provide) and plenty of dog beds and blankets. Usually feeding times are around 7-8 AM and 6-7 PM. Walks around 11-1 PM and park visit around 4:30-6 PM but we can be flexible to accommodate your dog's preferred schedule.
Home
Information Benjamin & Alexis S. would like to know about your pet
Any medical information, what they like, past history at kennels/daycares, past issues with other dogs. Dogs are all pretty unique, so any information that would help them feel comfortable during their stay. If a dog has any medical or specific requirements I simply ask to be informed so I can be fully and properly prepared. A major benefit is that I have tons of training, certifications and many many years of experience, including special needs dogs. I feel very confident, comfortable and capable of handling any needs that exist or any situations that may arise.
A typical day
We love going to parks depending on the weather. We have many creeks & great parks around the area. We live surrounded by Empire Mines State Park, so daily walks there will be had as well. We are open for whatever activities are best geared to the needs of each dog in our care. Sometimes we also get some older dogs and the park might not be the perfect setting so this would also be a situation we curtail the activity based on the dog and their specific needs and or capabilities.

Availability
We are very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We want to make the experience smooth and convenient for you all. We do our best to accommodate all requests and our clients needs, to make life easier for you and comfortable for your dogs. The safety, comfort and happiness of all guests in our care absolutely comes first and they are always the priority. We can spend the majority of the day with the pups. Usually we take the dogs for 1-2 walks/park visits a day. These consist of either a car ride to meadow vista park, Western Gateway, or one of the local parks.
