Hi there! We’re Brandon and Stacy- a couple of lifelong dog lovers and the proud founders of Safe Haven Puppy Inn, our cozy, home-based boarding space.

 

We know “Benson” might sound far, but we’re actually just 25 minutes from Raleigh and minutes from Garner- close enough to be convenient, far enough to offer a peaceful retreat your pup will love. Need help getting here? We also offer local pickup and drop-off for your convenience (free with longer stays)!

 

Whether your dog needs structured care, room to run, or a calm, loving environment, we’re here to offer all of that, and more!

​

 

 What Makes Us Different:

 

• Home-based, never facility-like. Your dog stays in our peaceful home or in a private, spacious, air-conditioned indoor kennel- you choose what’s best for them.

• To ensure every dog receives the care, attention, and love they deserve, we only take up to four guest dogs at a time. This lets us create a calm, personalized experience that big facilities simply can’t match.

• Over ½ acre of fenced yard- room to run, sniff, and play all day!

• Doggie door access- easy in/out access between their kennel and the yard for outdoor time whenever they want it.

• Inside time with our pack– guest pups are welcome in the house to relax and socialize with our four sweet rescue dogs.

• Always supervised– Brandon works from home full-time and Stacy only works part-time, so your dog will never be left alone for long.

• Years of experience- we’ve fostered dozens of puppies and dogs for two local rescue organizations, we have been dogsitting for years, and have experience with puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs.

• This isn’t just a side gig for us, it’s something we’ve built with purpose. We recently moved into this home specifically to improve Safe Haven Puppy Inn, choosing a property with a huge, beautiful fenced yard and enough space to give dogs the calm, enriching environment they truly deserve. Every part of this space, including the private air conditioned garage, was chosen with your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness in mind.

Let us be your pup’s second home. We promise they’ll leave with a wagging tail and a happy heart.
