Pet care experience

Fun on the Farm

We love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have been working at a veterinary clinic for about ten years now. I work part time so I have plenty of time to be home with my fur babies (and yours!). I have eight horses at home as well as two indoor cats, two farm cats, two dogs, and two chickens. We have a 5 year old daughter who also loves animals. While we are home, dogs are allowed all over the house. When we leave, dogs are kept in our large mud room. Our mud room has everything to make a dog feel comfortable: cots, blankets, water, toys. Unfortunately, we do not have a fenced in yard, so we can only take dogs that are good leash walkers and/or familiar with tie outs. We do not generally recommend high energy dogs stay with us.

I cannot express enough the wonderful care my dog Willow received during her vacation. I was very anxious leaving her for the first time and especially with people she did not know. I got updates and photos daily. I was able to take her familiar bedding and toys and treats. I am also great full that she got her eye med ointment every day.

Miles enjoyed his stay and we would recommend them to others. Deanna and Chris were very accommodating and patient with our sporadic requests and incomplete communication!

Deanna and Christopher took great care of our lab! They responded quickly to our texts when we inquired about him and also allowed is to come over before we dropped him off to check out where he would be staying. Would definitely recommend them!!

Schedule

Our dogs generally wake up for breakfast around 6:30am. We feed everyone and let everyone outside. If I work a morning shift at work, I am home between 8 and 2, then let everyone out when I get home. If i work an afternoon shift, i leave at 12 and someone is home by 4. Dinner is usually around 6pm. Dogs are let out again after dinner and once more before bed. We try not to go longer than 4 hours between let outs. If I am stopping by your house, morning or afternoon times are available in accordance with my work schedule.

Pets

A typical day

We have a service road near our house we walk on often or a nature preserve and bike path just down the street that we also frequent with our dog friends. Dogs are allowed on furniture and in bed with us. We have lots of toys for playing tug or fetch. If your dog is friendly with other dogs, our pups enjoy playing with visiting dogs.

Our situation is ideal for the older, lazier or more nervous dogs that may not do well in a busy kennel setting. Because we do not have a fenced in yard, dogs that need lots of off leash time are not ideal. Dogs do get walked and outdoor time, but also lots of snuggles. Dogs that may be reactive to children, cats, or horses are not preferred to stay with us. We can do drop in visits for those pets.
