Safety, trust & environment

I allow your dog to roam free within my home during the day. I prefer them in a crate at nighttime but I am very close by. They will be taken out every 2 hours or so on a leash. My Aussies are extremely friendly, working farm dogs and love to meet our visitors when they go out to potty or play. Your pet will also have the opportunity to meet the chickens and ducks to get comfortable with them if they would like. I have over a mile of trails around my farm and I walk daily. If your dog is allowed on the trails and in my creeks, I recommend that you purchase the bath as well so they go home super clean after having so much fun.

Information Crystal U. would like to know about your pet

I like to have a written schedule of their daily routine and special needs. I will go above and beyond to make them feel like it’s a home away from home.

A typical day

I love to work, play and run. I like to spend as much time outside as possible. There are endless possibilities here on my farm.

Pet care experience

I raise lovable, friendly Aussies here on my farm. I train my dogs to protect the chickens, ducks and honeybees. Your pet will be exclusively cared for inside my home as the special guest with every need met. Your pet may not want to go home after all this love and attention =).

Crystal did a great job caring for our two dogs Max and Cody. She and her family obviously loved dogs and our two took to her immediately. Her place was great and the dogs were able to spend time outdoors. She gave us a worry free day. Highly recommended.
