Information Christine A. would like to know about your pet

What do they enjoy most, besides being at home with you? Do they have favorite toys and a bed you can bring? They'll feel best with some familiar smelling toys and bedding. Do your pets tolerate cats, because Clyde loves dogs! Can you write out feeding and medication details for us so we can review them when you drop off?

A typical day

We walk on a leash through nearby fields and along our quiet country road. First thing, last thing and in between too. The dogs get to watch our alpacas but they don't get to join them in the field! When possible and safe we have an acre of pasture where they can get supervised time to run!

Pet care experience

Let us offer you the peace of mind you need if you're out of town on business, on vacation, or just at the office. We comfort your canine & feline friends during the day, so when you arrive home everyone can begin relaxing right away. We are truly "animal people". No kids, married for over 40 years and living on a small farm in White Hall where we care for our menagerie of 4 legged friends. We know first hand how hard it is to find reliable help to look after our animals and the farm when we need to leave for anything more than a long day. Our alpacas are registered breeding stock and the guineas are for general amusement. But, the cats and dogs are all rescues, receive regular vet care and are fed on a routine schedule. We care deeply about their well being, nurse them like children when they are sick and spend a great deal of time and effort keeping them healthy and happy. We are regulars with our local vet and feed mill and know the area well. Hard work and long days are par for the course for us. Our common sense is well polished and we pay great attention to detail and feel quality communication is key to any relationship. We have been renovating a small farm house for many years, a work in progress as they say. We like to do business in the local community and are now in a position to offer our experience to the pet owners in our area. We are professional without being stuffy and want all animals to enjoy a high quality of life.

They were fantastic and took great care of our pup! We got lots of updates and knew she was receiving plenty of love and attention. Will definitely book with them again.

Chris took great care of our dog on a recent stay. She contacted me promptly with some health concerns that arose and was diligent in making sure our dog got the care she needed. I got regular updates and our dog seemed content upon pick up.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
