Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Ducks, Goats!

Pet care experience

My heart belongs to my animal friends! I have had dogs and cats in my care, and at times goats, sheep, horses, and chickens, all of my adult life. With the passing of my most beloved 16 yr old canine companion last year, I find myself with just two goofy chickens and some extra time on my hands. (My chickens are free range and super social, I can certainly keep dogs on a leash even in the yard, but do let me know if your dog has been known to be a chicken chaser so that I can be prepared). I know first hand just how important it is to have loving care for our pet friends when we need to be away. I am forever grateful for the folks that have cared for mine and I would like to offer my care to others. I have experience with puppies, extra active dogs, and senior dogs and cats with special needs and medications. Farm animals are right up my alley as well. And lets not forget our feline friends...I have been a cat person since about 4 years old. Reach out with any questions! I am available for drop in visits as well as overnights stays in your home. I will be also available to host your pups in my home in the near future, once through with some home improvement projects. I have many references outside of Rover as well.

She was very sweet, thorough, and thoughtful. My cat is really shy, but warmed up to her quickly. She sent daily photos and gave me detailed descriptions on the well being of my cat. Would book again!!

Barbara and Eric are good people. The dogs had a great stay with them.the boys seemed to fit right in with them and I could tell from the communication that they were really getting to know the boys they were able to pick up on there personalities . We would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thanks again for taking care of the boys.

Barbara was a kind and caring host. Her yard is great for active dogs. ?. Her dog Oliver was sweet and fun. She really cared about our instructions and was flexible and responsive.

Beth's home was the perfect fit for our very active pup. She has a beautiful yard for the dogs, gave him plenty of exercise which he needs and lots of love. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and she even sent picture updates in the mornings. We will definitely be taking Whipper to her for dog boarding every time we travel. Our dog loves being there!

A typical day

I am physically fit and love to walk and hike. I am also a morning person so getting up to let out chickens, milk goats or sheep, and other farm chores is no problem! And ending the day with a good book or a knitting project and dogs and cats crashed on my lap rounds out a great day!
