Pro equestrian and farm manager
Pet care experience
I am a professional equestrian with a BA in Equestrian Studies and have dedicated my life to working with animals of all shapes and sizes. As a professional animal trainer, rest assured your pet will not come home with any bad habits (except maybe never wanting to leave!) and puppies in need of training are welcome too. As I no longer have an inside pet of my own, I am welcoming your pets over to the farm to enjoy 40 acres of doggie paradise. The entire farm is completely fenced with chicken wire so no animals can get in or out. Boarding dogs are welcome to stay in the house during working hours, but well behaved dogs may come in the barn and socialize with supervision. My experience as a veterinary technician means I am equipped to handle an emergency if needed.
Reviews
We have used Addison for boarding Chloee several times. She is professional, kind and reliable. I trust her completely with our mini-schnauzer Chloee. She is also accommodating by offering to bring Chloee back home.
Thank you Addison for taking care of Chloee the evening of Nov 4 & the day of Nov 5, 2024. I feel totally comfortable leaving Chloee with you. I can tell you care for Chloee as if she were your own. Bobby & I want to thank you for your helpfulness in bringing her home to us on Tuesday evening. It is greatly appreciated. I will not hesitate to use you again in the future. Jean
I am very happy with the service provided by Addison. Our mini schnauzer Chloee was boarded at the vet on the 19th in preparation for her spay/micro chip insertion on the 20th. Because my husband & I were unavailable to pick her up once discharged we hired Addison to pick her up & keep at her home until later that evening. After meeting Addison prior to the 19th I knew she was someone that I could trust with our baby. Everything went great on the 20th. In addition, because my husband & I did not get away from the voting precinct until after 8,;00pm Addison offered to bring Chloee to our home in lieu of us going to her home to pick up Chloee which we were grateful for because after being at the voting precinct for 14 hours we were happy to be home. I would not hesitate to hire Addison again. She is responsible & caring and someone that love animals.
Addison is awesome. Very detailed and the property is amazing. She is very accommodating and even helps you put your stuff in the vehicle if it's raining outside. Thanks Addison!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs can be as free or as confined as needed- anything from crate training, to having a room to stay in, can stay on a leash or can roam off leash (only dogs with trained recall ability). As an animal trainer, I am always practicing positive reinforcement and safe handling. Dogs under my care will be given the level of control they need based on their habits and behaviors. The entire farm is entirely fenced with chicken wire so no dogs can get in or out.
Home
Information Addison D. would like to know about your pet
I am happy and willing to care for any dogs that have special needs, wether it be medications or puppies in need of more training. I just ask that owners are open and honest about all behavioral issues or needs ahead of time. Aggressive dogs must come with excessive warning.
A typical day
Life on the farm is doggie heaven, with 40 acres to move around. Well behaved dogs are welcome to play in the barn but will be monitored closely around the horses. Plenty of birds, squirrels, and lizards to chase and fetch to play.

Availability
I am working on the farm 6 pays a week, for about 8 hours a day. However, I am able to spend time with your pet all day and can let them out as frequently as needed. Dogs that are able to spend time in the barn during the day will have my constant attention. I do not often leave the farm for more than a few hours at a time.
