We are situated on 6 acres approximately 7 minutes from Wind Cave Park and a few minutes from Hot Springs City.

If your pup enjoys a walk, I will take your pup for a walk around the back half of the property. It's peaceful and full of smells to discover. I haven't found a dog that doesn't love this walk yet! We have a fenced in (4 ft. high fence) back yard that is connected to our dog secure window & screened in wrap around porch. We moved to Hot Springs in Nov. 2021 and are in the process of setting up a big dog yard. At this time, we are only accepting small and medium dogs because I hurt my shoulder. I would love to enjoy your big dog, but they would be locked in the fenced yard the entire time, and a big dog would have to be OK with that. I’ve been around tiny to large dogs most of my life. I am not intimidated by large breeds or strong willed pets. I’ll have just as much fun with your teacup breed as I do with the giant breeds. We have had 5 dogs in our family, 3 Akita’s and 2 Shiba Inu's. We trained all of our dogs to respond to visual and verbal commands. I can administer medication and prepare special meals. I am a stay at home wife. So, I'm home a lot! April 2020, we took in a rescued akita. Shinshi is our gentle boy who likes his peace & quiet, zen space. Yuki is our 2nd shiba inu that we waited almost 2 years for! She brings out Shinshi's inner child and between the 2 of these, we are constantly entertained! 🐾 When your dog or dogs are here, I have a one family policy. You may have seen our akita, Shinshi. He appreciates his serenity; I keep him separated from my Rover client‘s dogs. He loves to play, but he weighs more than most dogs (100 lbs) and thinks he's 25 lbs as he rolls over Yuki. Oopsie's happen so as much as he'd love to love on your dog and play, he stays in our bedroom so a dislocated shoulder doesn't happen to a little one. He is good with our shiba inu, Yuki, but he knows her threshold. Later, when we can accept big dogs, he can play. For now, he can enjoy the big dogs at the groomer! If your dog is potty trained, they are welcome inside our home.
