Bentley & Friends was inspired by one very special dog — Bentley, my first dog and my soul dog. He taught me everything I know about dogs: patience, communication, trust, and the kind of unconditional love that changes you forever.
What started as love for one dog has grown into a safe, enriching space for many. At Bentley & Friends, we believe every dog deserves to feel seen, valued, and cared for like family. A cozy place filled with soft spots to rest, happy play sessions, gentle guidance, and lots of belly rubs. Our daycare is built on compassion, structure, and a deep understanding of canine behavior — creating a place where dogs can play, learn, rest, and thrive. We’ve created more than a daycare — we’ve created a home away from home.
Bentley started it all, and his spirit lives on in every pawprint that walks through our doors.
Inspired by Bentley. Shared with every pup.

A lifelong animal lover, Jess has always felt a strong connection to animals—a passion that continues at home with her two dogs and one cat. This personal experience, combined with years in the industry, shapes the thoughtful and compassionate approach she brings to every dog in her care.
At the heart of Jess’s philosophy is the belief that working with dogs is about partnership and teamwork.
