About: I have owned dogs since I was about 14 years old. I have had different breeds from dachshund to now Australian Cattle dog. I currently own 3 ACDs, an English setter/Feist, and a senior long-haired Chihuahua.I have raised and sold two litters of puppies. I have good relationships with all my clients. It's been 3 years and I still have a group chat including most of my puppy owners. I enjoy communication with everyone I work with. I like to send daily pictures and updates. I have trained puppies successfully. I love dogs! I also have lots of experience with after spay/neuter care. If you need someone to care for your pet while they are recovering from surgery, I am happy to help! Most importantly, I am a Christian. I strive to do all things to the glory of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am currently helping my parents at home. I am hoping to grow this business to be my sole source of income. I am home the majority of the time. My schedule is very flexible. I can board any time. I have fifteen acres where I can exercise your dog at least 3 times a day. I have a small weather proof barn and 2 outdoor kennels for day time fun and crates and space indoors for sleeping your pets. My 5 dogs are friendly and obedient, but for safety , I will never leave your dog unattended with them. I also have multiple 30-50ft tie out leads so we can play fetch and explore safely.
