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
Addison is exceptional with all types of animals to include horses! She has extensive knowledge and a keen sense for when something is a bit off and needs further attention. Professional, kind, incredible attention to detail and reliable is how I would describe Addison and how she conducts business and cares for all animals.

About Addison D.
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.
