I’ve always had a pet. - fish, rabbits, birds, gerbils, dogs and cats. My husband and I are retired (me a cop and him a dairy farmer) and we live on beautiful spring fed Fairy Lake, Hudson Township. We have MILES of trails to walk and run dogs! This past year both our children have added puppies to their households and we’ve helped train Sadie - Golden Lab, Jack - Havanese, Tucker - Havaco and Charlie - Corgi/Australian Shepherd. We’ve also been sitting our neighbours Blue Merle Australian Shepherd. If you get the idea there are puppies in our life you would be very correct! If you want experience, someone strong enough to handle a large dog but gentle enough to care for a little one, look no further. FYI - we will need to do a Meet and Greet BEFORE caring for you fur family member. It’s imperative that we all ‘know’ each other and will get along - we ensure our ‘guests’ are suited for each other. To explain, if we have large active dogs then we can’t have a small, frail, limited activity puppy and vice versa. - this is our home, not a commercial boarding facility so our numbers have to be respectful of the size of our home - puppies need to be vaccinated. We realize some may not have completed the process due to age but it should be accomplished at the earliest possibility - we will be walking your puppy in a wilderness area. We make every effort to ensure there are no unfortunate interactions but it can happen (we have had puppies meet porcupines). If a vet visit is required as a result of an interaction we will take your pet to a vet the cost of which will be your responsibility. - we prefer to allow your pet to explore and experience the freedom of being off lead. If your pet does not have good recall we will use a lead until they learn the skill. And finally, we House and Pet Sit worldwide so will be travelling a bit in the winter months.
