Pet care experience

Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — they’re truly woven into the fabric of my life. After 15 years as a large animal and livestock farmer, I’ve handled every kind of surprise animals can throw at me — so I’m up for unusual circumstances. Your pup will have 10 fully fenced acres to explore, sniff, and zoom to their heart’s content. And they won’t be alone! I have four animal-loving kids who can’t wait to run, play, and snuggle with new furry friends.

Emily, Richard, and their son (whose name I'll omit for privacy have been amazing! They provide a fun and caring home for our dog to share and welcome him like one of their own. Plus they (all) are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! Definitely recommend

Emily and Richard are exceptionally loving caregivers. They've cared for my blind eight year old Cockapoo on numerous occasions and my dog, Bubbie has thrived under their care. I'm certain that Bubbie is having all of her needs met when she is with Emily and Richard.
