Farm Gal & Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm taking care of both livestock and pets my entire life. I love animals, and as a mother to 3 children and a business owner, I know how hard it can be to be pulled in multiple directions. I have more flexibility now that my children are older & in school - plus I own my own business as a Realtor, so I often work from home. My schedule allows me free time during the day to love on your pets. We keep most boarders inside our home just like our own pets, but we also have a large machine shed with a finished office space similar to a game room/living area. Sometimes we will also board animals in this heated and cooled portion of our facility, if it’s a better fit for your animal (destructive habits or lots of barking). In those cases we will still bring your pet inside our home as well for cuddles and loves. We live in the country and therefore can also accommodate boarding for larger, outside only pets in warmer temperatures in our barn with our family pet, a great pyr named Honey Bear, if desired. Please note this space is NOT heated and also has cats, chickens and sheep, so can be a bit dusty.

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.
