Meet The Team!

Ben Smyser

Owner/President
I’ll put it this way… I don’t think there is a person out there with whom I’d care to trade jobs. You know what I like best? Yeah, playing with puppies during the day is great, but having a team around me who are so supportive and the passion they have for helping our customers is the greatest. Thank you to everybody on the Baron’s team for making us the best at what we do!

Jen Smyser

Owner/Vice President

Jennifer is my wife, best friend, and partner in life. She and I tend to have many of the same thoughts and ideas that we tend to scare each other when we blurt them out at the same time.

Although not much of a risk taker I was able to convince her to allow me to purchase Baron’s K-9 Market in 2018. Since then, she has been helping behind the scenes with events, marketing, and social media all while working full time as a Crisis Counselor at our local hospital.

Jennifer has a BS in Public Administration but has worked in Behavioral Health for over 25 years and has listened to me talk about pet nutrition for 15+ years. (Yes, she does listen much better than I do.) With the growth of our business, it is time for her to join our team full time and help lead our Glyndon location.

My wife is a wonderful mother to Sullivan and is always willing to get her hands dirty while helping me take care of our small farm. Outside of work and off our farm Jen and I love to travel, eat great food, and explore local breweries and wineries together.

Sullivan (Sully) Smyser

Lead Greeter
What’s truly amazing about Sullivan is that customers come to see him and if he has the day off, customers become disappointed. Sullivan loves to have his ball thrown for him to fetch and loves the attention he receives from all our amazing customers. When Sullivan is not at the store he loves going on adventures with his mom and dad, catching frisbee, and helping to watch and protect his sisters (goats) on our farm.
