I trained horses for 10 years, then married my husband of 14 years (who also helps with the pet care). We both work from home, so it is easy to care for animals in our home and keeping our schedule flexible. We have 5 children (ages 4-12) who love and cuddle every animal we house. I have also been a puppy trainer for nearly 2 years, teaching basics such as sit, loose leash walking, come, stay, down, off, stay, bell ringing to go out, and crate training. We live on 12 “mostly” unfenced acres, so pet relief times are doubled as leash training opportunities. Our property includes rabbits, cats, and our own dog “Domino” (a Jack Russel terrier mix). We have a beautiful trail through the woods to walk pets for times of exploration and relaxation. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was a teenager, both small and large. I’m willing to learn about each animal I house, with their needs, schedules, temperaments, etc. to be sure each animal can be as comfortable as possible. We’d love to have your pet stay with us!
