Pups on a Country Farm Vacation
Pet care experience
Update: Based in Bellingham Washington, currently looking to board/housesit for aniamals in Bellingham. I am a full time dog trainer and animal caretaker. I am also available for hire for canine training. I am in the process of receiving my national professional degree for Large and Small Animal Accupressure. I am also available for hire on the northern coast of Oregon, available for animal sitting in-home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for neighborhood pups, giving them daily walks and love which fueled my admiration for them. I love spending time with animals because of how much we learn from each other. I spent summers working on a farm where I learned to work with all animals - great and small. From draft horses to cattle to chinchillas to fish to llamas to birds and bunny rabbits - I have worked with many types of animals. With dogs, I have cared for and train dogs from dachshunds to Great Pyrenees and so many breeds in between. I have worked with animals for over 15 years time as a caretaker. I volunteer at an animal shelter where I get to work with lots of different breeds. I have experience working with dogs which need a little bit of extra help on their manners or that have come from an abusive situation, creating a calm and trusting atmosphere for them where they can thrive. I find that not just do I love spending time with animals but that I grow as a person working with them. I am also available for pet sitting of animals other then dogs, as well. So please, go on your next vacation with your mind at ease, knowing your pets are well cared for and are on a vacation of their very own at our beautiful farm in northern Bellingham, complete with acerage, rolling fields and plenty of room to run and play. Wishing you a beautiful day!

I couldn't be happier with my first experience using Rover. I tried and tried to get into a boarding facility in my town and never heard back. I turned to Rover, and that's how I met Harper. She boarded my dog for 2 nights and sent me beautiful pictures of my pup and their adventures. I had the pleasure of watching her interact with other people's dogs and instantly knew my boy was in safe hands. I cannot wait to book her next time! You won't be disappointed if you leave your fur baby with Harper. What a wonderful experience! Thank you for being available and flexible in short notice! You are wonderful!
Harper is a natural caretaker and lover of animals, and is very much attuned to the creatures that she cares for. My pup Leo warmed up to her right away, and he had an exciting and nourishing time staying on her farm. I would definitely recommend Harper for dog boarding, and I hope my pup gets to stay with her in the future!
If you're looking for an amazing, trustworthy Rover host, look no further than Harper!! After a semi-last-minute search for a Rover before leaving town, we found Harper and her farm and decided to go for it. Our dog had the BEST stay. Though he can be shy around strangers and in new places, Harper made him feel right at home and took him to the lake, around her beautiful farm, and on many other adventures. Bonus: She is a dog trainer and also sent photos along the way, which helped put us at ease being away from our pup for an extended period. We're looking forward to booking with Harper again the next time we leave town. Thank you so much Harper for giving our dog an amazing vacation while we were on vacation!
Beatrice and her husband were the best host we could ask her. Their farm is so lovely and full of green spaces for all the animals. They are friendly and warm, and very kind to our dog. They took amazing care of my dog who has heart murmur and even bought pads for her when she had potty issues. I am so grateful for people like them who are so loving and caring towards animals!!!

What is the dogs general demeanor? Do they get along with other dogs and humans? Are they submissive or aggressive? Prey driven? On medication or have health concerns? Do they do well with other animals? Are they anxious when away from their owners? What do they love to do best?
A typical day
I love to take dogs to the beach or hiking in the woods! Wandering around our property, exploring trails, playing ball and swimming at the beach.
