Dogs are the best

Pet care experience

I’ve progressed through training classes with the MSPCA in Boston and bring over 5 years of volunteer experience with animal organizations to my work. During that time I was able to learn from behavioral specialists and dog trainers. I've learned that dogs can be complex, and they need to be engaged and cared for to help reinforce good behaviors and ignore the more problematic ones. I’m committed to helping train your dogs if there are things I can support on that journey.

Benjamin was great with our Golden, Dunkin. Great with communication, accommodating to needs and schedule. Very friendly and could tell that Dunkin had a great time, lots of smiles in the picture updates! We felt very comfortable with the care that was provided and are looking forward to future bookings. Thanks Benjamin! ◡̈

Ben was amazing in taking care of Jay every way possible! He understood our dog’s needs and was very accommodating! Always updated us with photos and videos. We’ll definitely be asking him to take care of our dog in the future!

My wife and i would give Benjamin 100 stars if we could. We were going to Cabo for vacation and unfortunately one of our dogs were sick so we couldn’t take them to the boarding facility. On a last minute chance we found Benjamin and he made us feel comfortable leaving our dogs with him right away. He sent pictures regularly, and made sure to give our sick dog medication. The dogs loved him so much they didn’t want to leave. We will 100% use him from now on.

Information Benjamin J. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but if your dog has any aggressive tendencies or is triggered by certain things (e.g. cars/buses) it would be helpful to know that ahead of time

I live close to parks, walkways, and have a large apartment so there’s plenty of space for your dogs to explore. I am able to get to a variety of neighborhoods quickly.
