What kinds of pets do you care for?
Dogs, cats, assorted farm animals including chickens, goats, horses, donkeys and the occasional cow. Have a pet that’s not on the list? We probably care for those too!
What is a day like for my pet if they stay at your farm?
At my farm, your pet will enjoy a fun-filled, structured day in a beautiful farm setting with plenty of space to explore. The day starts with morning playtime and exercise in the fenced yard, where they can roam safely or use the dog doors to go in and out as they please. Throughout the day, they’ll receive one-on-one attention, enrichment activities, and lots of love, with plenty of time for cuddles, walks, and play. Because I work from home, your pet will never feel lonely and will always have supervision and companionship. Evenings include relaxing downtime, belly rubs, and winding down after a day full of fun!
What is your farm like?
My farm is an beautiful 8-acre property featuring lush pastures, complete with horses, and a fully fenced, spacious dog yard. Conveniently designed with dog doors, the yard allows your pet the freedom to come and go as they please. Additionally, a generously sized deck, also equipped with dog doors, provides the perfect vantage point for your dog to observe the scenic pastures. For outdoor adventures, a nearby creek offers an excellent spot for leisurely walks, while the Little Pipe Creek dog-friendly walking trails provide additional opportunities for exercise and exploration.
