Highlights
Pet care experience
From Family Pets to Farm Critters
I love dogs so much that my doormat says, “Dogs Welcome, People Tolerated.” (Ha!) I’m a responsible, trustworthy professional who grew up surrounded by dogs, horses, and all sorts of farm critters. I’ve worked as a vet tech and trained hunting and scent-detection dogs, so I know how to handle everything from high-energy pups to sugar-faced seniors. I also have decades of experience training and competing horses, which makes me equally comfortable doing barn chores.

Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets where they are most comfortable, whether that is in their own home or with me. I live in a bottom floor apartment (no stairs for senior dogs) and do not have a fenced-in yard, but take lots of leashed walks (rain or shine) and also have access to a private dog park for off-leash playtime. One adult dog lives in the home, he is neutered and plays well with other dogs. Due to insurance restrictions, I cannot take dogs that are aggressive, dominant, chewers/destroy furniture or bark a lot (or refuse to stop barking when asked).
Ratings and reviews
I can’t speak highly enough of Faren! She’s kind & prompt and really knows/loves dogs
I have known Faren for approximately 15 years in her role as a professional canine trainer. During this time, she has consistently impressed me with her thoughtful, effective training approach and her deep understanding of canine behavior. Beyond her technical skill, what truly sets Faren apart is her genuine compassion and strong ethical commitment to the well-being of every dog in her care. She treats each canine as an individual, ensuring their training experience is both positive and enriching. I have complete confidence in her professionalism and dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and knowledgeable caregiver or trainer.
I’ve known Faren for over 25yrs. She’s an honest, thoughtful, & detail oriented person that I’ve had care for my barn full of upper level horses, my beloved dogs & cats. I never had to worry about my most precious animals, farm, or home with her in charge!!! In fact, things were always left better than I left them after she was there!!!! She will always be my 1st call for any pet, house, farm sitting needs!!!

Schedule
During the work week I take care of pets both early mornings and evenings and provide mid-day potty breaks. On weekends and holidays I am flexible and offer longer walks or hikes and different enrichment activities.I enjoy taking boarders to local SniffSpots to run and play.
