Snuggles, Wiggles & Wagging Tails

I absolutely adore pups of every size and personality! At home, I have a Shih Tzu, a Dalmatian (we thought he was a Lab until we did DNA testing!), and a sweet little Chihuahua. Each one is so different, but together they make the perfect pack. All of my dogs came from tough beginnings, but their resilience and ability to love inspires me every day. Giving them a safe, happy, and loving home has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I would treat your pets just like my own—keeping them safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just making sure their needs are fully met, I’ll make sure your furry family members feel right at home.

Benjamin was a great sitter for our small older dog. He took special care with her and sent us lots of pictures and details about how she was doing each day. We felt so good knowing she was in such good and caring hands. I know she had a great time with his other dogs and probably wanted to stay longer! I would highly recommend Benjamin and will definitely ask him to take care of our little one next time we travel.

As usual Benjamin was great with Levon! Levon loves staying at his house and playing with his dogs! I totally recommend him!

I could not be any happier with the care and love Levon got while staying with Benjamin and his wife! It gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my trip knowing how much fun he was having with their dogs. I’ll definitely use their services again!

You have found a perfect choice! I have known Ben for years and a top priority of our conversations are about eachothers pets! Ben is very caring and patient. He has that certain bond that some humans have, and some humans don't with animals, and Ben has it! I would absolutley recommend Ben to watch over my loved ones!!! Mike Vukson mvux@aol.com

Schedule

I’m a proud pet parent to three wonderful rescue pups, and I honestly couldn’t love them more. Watching them learn how to simply be dogs—to play, to trust, to feel safe and loved—has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. They give me just as much joy as I give them. Our pack has a well-loved routine: breakfast and dinner together (with Otis getting his pill at each meal). Since I work from home, two of the pups usually “work” alongside me—though Ollie prefers lots of days off. Their work ethic may be questionable, but their company is unmatched! Ozzie, on the other hand, takes his role as head of security very seriously, keeping a close watch from the front window. At home, the dogs are always by my side, whether it’s keeping me company during the day or snuggling at night. They sleep in bed, lounge on the furniture, and honestly think of me as part of the furniture too—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, safety, and unconditional love—values I carry into caring for every dog I meet.Each dog is unique, and I happily adjust to their needs. From carrying Ollie up and down stairs, up and down from the couch to giving him stroller walks so he can keep up, I make sure every pup feels included. I’ll give your dog the same love, patience, and care I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home has three friendly pups—Ozzie is the biggest at just 45 lbs! Yard is fully fenced and secure yard, but I always go outside with them to ensure safety. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture, but I’m happy to follow your preferences if you’d like your littles to stick to their own cozy spots. At home, we keep things relaxed and let the pups be themselves. We always keep fresh water available (three bowls downstairs that I’m constantly refilling!). If I’m dropping by to care for your pets, you can count on me to be prompt, respectful, and to show them the same love and attention I give my own. Keeping dogs safe is a top priority for me—I know the worry of even imagining a lost pet, and I’ll always make sure yours are secure. Beyond that, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or even having a “deep conversation” with them. After all, they always have the best listening ears.

Pets

A typical day

I love taking long walks with the pups and, whenever it’s safe, I let them choose the path and set the pace. I always clean up after them and make sure we’re respectful of the spaces we visit. Walks aren’t just about exercise—I chat with them, keep their tails wagging, and let them enjoy the adventure. I’m comfortable passing by other dogs or allowing friendly meet-and-greets when appropriate. While I don’t allow barking at people, they do manage to sneak a few out now and then! And though I’m guilty of wanting to share snacks, I follow the rules set by the vet (and my wife!) to keep everyone happy and healthy.
