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.
Reviews
Helped me out last minute when my flight was canceled and couldn't get home when planned. This family is amazing!!
Such an amazing family!! I feel like I am leaving my fur baby with family and I know he is always enjoying his time!
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.
Jacquelyn was wonderful! She was great to communicate with, was very responsive and even sent us pictures with an update! We would definitely use her services again!

Information Jacquelyn D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time feeding routines & if your dog will have any special needs that I can account for. Also be sure to bring the appropriate amount of food. A happy & healthy dog equals a happy dog owner… And a happy dog helper! ;) Owner will be responsible for bathing (it can be a bit dusty on the farm). FYI- If you bring a crate we are happy to also use it, if requested and/or you think your pet will be more comfortable.
A typical day
We will play catch, go on walks twice per day, and let your pet cuddle in our home if we deem them safe and not a hazard to our personal space. ;)
