Pet care experience
As someone who lives on a farm, I understand the importance of giving dogs the opportunity to experience life outside of their typical environment. When you send your dog to stay with me, they will have the chance of a lifetime to explore all the sights, sounds, and smells that come with living on a farm. They will be able to run freely and safely around our 7 acres of land, which is surrounded by lush trees, fresh air, and open space. And for an extra special treat, we can even serve them fresh chicken eggs with their meals upon request. So, whether your furry friend is a city dog in need of a countryside retreat or a farm dog in search of new adventures, rest assured that I have the skills and expertise to provide them with the best care possible. Choose me as your dog sitter, and give your dog the retreat they deserve.

Dylan took great care of Calvin, my very active Brittany Spaniel. He came home exhausted, I know he had a wonderful day on the farm!!
Rest assured your pup will be cared for just like home…dare I say even better? Bristol enjoyed his time so much I had to pick him up to get him back in the car. He has been left with sitters many times and that has never occurred, so it alone spoke volumes! Daily updates with pics reassured me he was having a wonderful stay and receiving lots of love and care. He loves affection so it is hard when I leave him for extended periods of time. His reaction upon picking him up made it clear he felt like home there!
Dylan is really great with Ginger! Our dogs played so well together and they truly clicked! Ginger's stay was a match made in heaven and she loves coming home tired after hours of romping around with her new friends. We loved the space and attention she is offered and we truly felt like she was being left in the best hands (as you know, all pet parents try to give their fur babies the best!) This is by far the best day care experience we had and we will 100% be booking with Dylan again :)
Dylan and his wife are amazing!! They kept my 2 dogs for me and I am so glad I found them on here. They were very flexible with my last minute changes to my schedule and always responded to all messages very very quickly! They sent daily updates about the dogs and how they were doing and some professional quality photos of them!! I would most definitely recommend them and would for sure use them again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
As a pet caregiver, my top priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of the animals in my care. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I always make sure that the animals have a safe and secure environment to live in. For example, I have a fully fenced yard at my home that provides a safe space for dogs to run and play. Additionally, I always make sure to give the animals plenty of attention and love, as I understand the importance of socialization and companionship in their lives. If needed, I also have multiple crates available to ensure that the pets are comfortable and secure. For instance, if a client's dog is accustomed to sleeping in a crate, I will make sure to provide a crate for them during their stay. Finally, I also understand the importance of creature comforts for pets, and as such, my own dog has multiple beds throughout the house. Any pets staying in my home will have access to these beds as well, so they can relax and feel right at home. Overall, whether I am caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I am committed to providing them with the best possible care, attention, and comfort.

Vaccinations: Ensure that the dog has up-to-date vaccinations to protect both the dog and the person taking care of them from diseases. Exercise needs: Some dogs require more exercise than others, so it's important to know the dog's energy level and exercise needs to ensure they get the appropriate amount of exercise.

A typical day
Spending time with dogs can be a lot of fun, and there are plenty of activities that owners can do with their furry friends to keep them happy and engaged. One of the best ways to do this is by going on walks and hikes in different locations, such as around the farm or in scenic areas like Olympia and Mt. Rainer. These outings provide not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation for dogs, as they get to explore new sights, sounds, and smells. Whether it's a leisurely walk on a quiet country road or an adventurous hike up a mountain trail, dogs are sure to enjoy the experience and bond with their owners in the process. And with so many beautiful and exciting places to explore, there's no shortage of options for owners and their beloved pets to enjoy together.

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I am the proud owner of a farm with alpacas, goats, and chickens, as well as a dog. My days start and end around our farm animals, as I am responsible for feeding, watering, and providing them with the care they need to thrive. In addition to this, I also dedicate a significant portion of my afternoons to ensuring that my dog gets the exercise and attention she deserves. Whether we're playing fetch in the fields, going on a long walk, or simply snuggling on the couch, my dog is a top priority in my daily routine. Overall, pet care is not just a responsibility for me, but also a source of joy and fulfillment in my life, as I am grateful for the opportunity to care for and bond with my beloved animals.
