Luxury dog boarding on a small farm

Pet care experience

Leave your dog with me and rest assured that they’ll be having the time of their lives; daily walks and hikes, lots of individual attention, cuddles, and love, and someone home with them most of the day to ensure they get what they need. It’s really important to me to create a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pup while they keep here. I strive to make your dogs stay at my farm special; my repeat client pups are always excited to be here when they’re dropped off. I love dogs, and any pup who’s staying on the farm will be treated like one of my own. I work from home, so i’m almost always home with the pups, and we spend a lot of time outside, hiking, walking, running, or working in the yard. I've been dog sitting since I was young, on and off. I'm also a livestock farmer who cares for livestock guardian dogs, cats, goats, pigs, chickens, and other animals on a daily basis at work. I have a pup of my own, 3 year old Luddy, who makes life better in every way! I'm comfortable providing basic veterinary care, based upon my livestock farming professional background, and will make sure your pet gets lots of exercise and play outside as i'm an avid runner and hiker.

Grace has such a beautiful spot for dogs. She is very kind and thoughtful the way she greats her new guests. I expected to drive away worried because we are never away from the dogs, but I honestly felt like they were in a loving environment and I was totally at ease. I highly recommend Grace.

Keane & Brooklyn loved their stay with Grace. We got daily updates from Grace and felt very comfortable with putting our dogs in Grace's hands. We will definitely be using Grace again in the future!

Our 2 Goldens had a great time w/Grace. They seemed very happy to be with her in her house and going for long walks. Grace texted me daily updates, often w/photos. I highly recommend leaving your dog in the care of Grace. I look forward to having her take care of my dogs again!

Grace and her sweet pup Luddy made it SO comfortable and easy for us to leave our girl for the weekend. She obviously cares a great deal, is very kind and responsive, and clearly enjoys the time with her guests. Her home and property are safe/comfy with lots of space in nature to play and explore. I highly recommend her and will be asking for her help sitting again for sure!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house on a dead end road with 300 acres of wooded trails right outside my back door, where I take my pup Luddy on long hikes or trail runs every day. We’re far away from any car traffic and have a fenced in portion of the yard for pups to run around in. I spend a lot of time at home working in the garden, playing with Luddy, hiking, or running. Luddy is a very friendly pup who loves to play and wrestle with other dogs, and tends to tire his friends out...at which point he loves to fall asleep curled around another pup :)

I work from home, as a farmer, so your dog will almost never be left alone. They can hang out in the house with me or out in the garden while i work, or in a fenced in portion of the yard. We usually go on a long hike, walk, or run every afternoon, and the pups are invited to sleep anywhere they’d like, whether it’s the couch, my bed, or their own bed or crate.
