About: I have lived on a farm my whole life and taken care of pets of all types and kinds in that duration. Loving on your sweeties would be my pleasure! If its the house or farm thats needing looked after, I can take care of that too! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs. I am flexible on hours and days of boarding. I have 30 acres we can play on with my own dog. Pets will have the option to be free in my home or crated, whatever is prefered. We need to follow the owner guidlines when in clients homes and keep it as consistant to normal as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals growing up my whole life. One was a family dog that we had for 18 years and another was a puppy. I spent time while my mom wasn’t home taking care of and training the puppy. I would love to take your dogs to the dog park or to my grandmas to run around! I work part-time right now usually only 20 hours a week so I have a lot of free time to walk your animals! I also don’t work weekends so I’m available any time on the weekends! My grandmas house has a big fenced in yard with three other dogs there for your dog to run around or play with other dogs!
4. Emily J.
“I have known Emily her entire life and this young lady loves animals. She often refers to herself as the animal whisperer. There is not an animal that doesn't love her. She is a very responsible pet owner herself. Emily grew up in 4H and received her animal science degree from Iowa State. She was raised on a farm and is a trustworthy, honest and caring person. Your pet would be best taken care of by her no doubt.”
5. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie was a great fit as housesitter/ kitty sitter while we were out of state. Our five kitties were happy to see us and had clearly been well cared for. They made up to Stephanie quite easily and they all had a good week.”
