Safety, trust & environment
At the GG's Funny Farm we have 1.5 acre yard that is used as the main area to potty, play and run. Beyond that boundary we also have another acre that is fully fenced, 5 foot fence, with water and hills and trials to explore. There is always access to fresh water and shade for the hard playing pooch.

Information Heather M. would like to know about your pet
Please help us at the GG's Funny Farm to know how to make your furry family member feel calm and relaxed as they come into our pack. Do they have any quirks or preferences? It is important to us that we understand our guest so they enjoy their time away from their humans and acclimate quickly into the pack here at the farm.
A typical day
At the Funny Farm we are up early, because our rooster starts calling us out at 5 am, so our guests are able to go our for their first potty break at the crack of dawn. Throughout the day we are working on different chores that need attention on a farm, so the dogs have hours of freedom. It is important to have rest so we also put the dogs on a schedule so that they can be quiet and not get over heated or stressed from too much fun.

Looking to make new furry friends
Pet care experience
Dogs have always been apart of our family life. Jim and I would agree that it is a good day when we make a new four legged friend. As a pack leader, I focus on helping dogs feel safe, to know their boundaries and to have polite behavior. My hope is that our guests will have freedom to explore and not feel the stress of being in a new environment but rather have confidence to run themselves right into a good nights sleep. Our little Yorkies, Dash and Diva, are always excited to welcome a new friend onto our Funny Farm. We have a fully fenced property that allows playing ball, exploring, chasing, barking and "marking" a very large area. As the pack leader I do believe that dogs do better when they have a space of their own, so we offer a separate large kennel for each of them. I use the kennel for overnight sleeping, feeding or if I have to leave the Funny Farm an extended amount of time.
Reviews
Heather and her husband Jim own and operate Gigi’s Funny Farm in Catlett and are loving, caring sitters. It’s like a doggie nirvana with acres of land for your furry family to run and play and a cozy indoor rest and sleep area. I was apprehensive to leave my newly adopted pup, Josie anywhere because of her issues. Let’s just say Josie is “special” lol. Heather handled her problem behaviors beautifully. She has tons of experience and handled my problem child ha, ha with love and care. When we picked her up, she didn’t want to leave 😆. I wholeheartedly recommend you leave your furry family with her 💕
and provided exceptional care. From giving them plenty of exercise and prioritizing quiet time to ensuring one of my dogs received his daily medication, she did an excellent job. She sent daily photos, which gave me peace of mind. She treated them like family, and I couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend her, and I will absolutely use her again in the future.
Heather and her husband were absolutely amazing! They have a beautiful property that any dog would love. Plenty of space to run around and play. She was so friendly and caring towards our dog Nova. A great communicator and extremely organized! We would love for Nova to stay at GG’s Funny Farm again and will definitely be re-booking. 😊
My 2 dogs had so much fun running around her property that they didn't want to leave.
