Our Stress-Free, Social Philosophy
At Benny’s Backyard, we believe dogs are happiest when they can play, socialize, explore, and rest naturally.
Our philosophy is simple: give dogs more freedom and interaction while still providing the structure and downtime each pup needs.
• Cage-free daycare focused on supervised social interaction
• Indoor and outdoor play with compatible friends
• Intentional breaks to prevent overstimulation
• Private suites and cozy crates available for meals, rest, decompression, and overnight care
• Rest schedules tailored to each dog's age, personality, and energy level
• Individual attention from a team that gets to know every pup
Because Benny’s is a social environment, all dogs must be friendly with people and other dogs and comfortable participating in a group setting.
Freedom when appropriate. Rest when needed. Personalized care always.
Who We Are?
We’re Emma and Francisco, proud dog parents to Louie, Benny, Blue and Mika—and the family behind Benny’s Backyard.
Benny’s was created because we wanted something different from the traditional boarding experience: a smaller, more personal place where dogs could spend their days being dogs.
A place where the team knows who your pup likes to play with, how they like to sleep, when they've had enough excitement, and when they simply need a cuddle.
As an extension of The Groom Room in Ridgefield, Benny’s Backyard brings the same relationship-focused philosophy to dog daycare and overnight boarding in Wilton, Connecticut.
Our goal isn't to care for the greatest number of dogs possible.
It's to provide exceptional care for the dogs who become part of the Benny’s family.
Our Promise to You
When your dog is at Benny’s, we want you to feel confident that they are being cared for by people who genuinely know them.
That means safe social play, plenty of human attention, appropriate rest, a clean and comfortable environment, and a team on-site 24/7 for our overnight guests.
Most importantly, we pay attention to the individual dog—not simply the schedule.
Happy Days. Cozy Nights. And care that feels personal.
