Pet care experience
Dog Trainer, Private 4.5 Acre Farm
Welcome to our farm!! ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your furry family member! To ensure all dogs have the best experience possible, please notify me if you expect to be late for pick-up or drop-off. This helps prevent unnecessary time in crates while waiting. Pick-up and drop-off hours are Monday through Saturday, from 8 AM to 6 PM. Hello! I’m excited to meet you and your pup. Here’s a little about me and what you can expect during your dog’s stay. I began pet sitting in high school, quickly becoming the go-to caregiver for my neighbors when they traveled. After high school, I worked as a veterinary technician for five years. During that time, I trained my own dogs in advanced obedience and personal protection, which inspired me to transition from vet tech to full-time dog trainer. I now run my own business, Performing Paws LLC, specializing in obedience and dogs with anxiety issues. You can learn more at performingpaws(dot)com. At Performing Paws, we offer a daycare-style boarding experience. Each dog is temperament tested and gradually integrated into the pack to ensure they are comfortable and safe. Your dog will enjoy multiple play sessions with compatible companions. When resting, eating, when I’m away, or at night, they will be crated. Dogs who are not suited for group play will have individual time in the yard to explore. Your pup will stay in the house, in a room specifically designed for their comfort. The room features an air purifier, a fan for airflow and white noise to aid sleep, and is camera-monitored. Crates are placed next to each other to provide a sense of companionship. The environment is calm and quiet to help all dogs feel at home. During the meet and greet, you can view the dog room when the dogs are outside playing. To minimize stress, I limit visits to their space when they are resting. However, I have a photo of the dog room available for viewing. Pick-up and drop-off hours are Monday through Saturday, from 8 AM to 6 PM.

Ratings and reviews
Anna was very attentive to my dog. He had so much fun at her place and can't wait to go back! Anna was very kind and very attentive to my worries about leaving my boy while we were away. She was very communicative while she had him and we were 6 hours away on our trip! She sent a lot of videos of him playing with the other pups, and kept me updated on bit of tummy trouble that he had as he has a sensitive tummy. I will recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter for their dog, especially a big hyper dog that loves to play like ours! 😍🥰
Anna is by far our all time favorite dog sitter.
Coco, our 1.5 yr old goldendoodle, was well cared for and especially loved playing with the other dogs in the big backyard, like a fun doggy daycare every day! Anna’s extensive dog training experience gives us great confidence that she knows exactly how to handle any situation and can provide helpful insight too.
Anna good amazing care of my dog for a trip I went on recently! She sends lots of updates throughout the time away and when I had a family emergency she was more than willing to be flexible with pickup when travel times looked unsure for my husband and I. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!
Anna was so great with my pup! It was a rainy weekend, but that didn’t stop them from having fun. She also gave him a bath since he got all muddy, which was so nice. We’ve used her a couple of times before and she never disappoints!
Anna was incredible! She sent pictures and videos every day, and the dogs even came home clean and bathed! We would recommend Anna to anyone looking for great dog care.

Schedule
My priority is ensuring your pup has a fun and comfortable sleepover experience! When packing for their stay, please include their food and a special blanket from home for their crate. There’s no need to bring additional items, as storage space is limited and we have plenty of toys and treats available. Bowls are provided and washed daily. For safety reasons, stuffed beds are not permitted, and blanket privileges may be revoked if your dog begins to chew on them. Each night, your pup will receive a bedtime Kong filled with a treat to help them settle in and fall asleep quickly.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home features 4.5 acres with divided play areas to accommodate dogs of various sizes and temperaments. One area is designed specifically for smaller or more timid dogs, one caters to larger or more energetic dogs, and the third is a whole acre and the perfect place for lots of running, fetch, and playtime. During the summer months, both play areas are equipped with splash pools, providing a fun and refreshing way for dogs to cool down and enjoy some water play. We ensure all dogs are continuously monitored during playtime to maintain a safe environment and to prevent any dog from becoming overly tired or overwhelmed.

A typical day
As a dog trainer, I prioritize the happiness and mental stimulation of the dogs in my care. My day begins early with working, feeding, and taking the dogs out for their first potty break. Boarding dogs enjoy playtime outdoors before coming inside to relax and engage with toys. They are taken out for potty breaks whenever needed. Midday, all dogs receive additional playtime outside before returning indoors to rest until dinner. The final potty break of the day is at 10:00 PM, ensuring they are comfortable and settled for the night.
