We can't wait to take care of your dog! We are an active family with flexible schedules and one of us will be around most of the time to keep your dog company. We have a great front and back yard, love to go for walks in our rural neighborhood, and love to go for hikes in nearby Harriman State Park. We also farm across the street from our house, which means flexibility in our schedules and for the right dogs, it can mean joining us at the farm. We have two kids, a 6 year old girl and a 9 year old boy, who love dogs. They know how to be gentle when that's necessary, and they know how to keep active dogs busy. We accept one dog at a time, unless you have two pets in your family, so your pet(s) will have individual care. We love our dog visitors like members of the family and have so much fun with them. Our dog, Kimchi, (1yo when we adopted her Sept 2019), is a Maltese Terrier Mix who loves other dogs. She is sweet, cuddly, and loves to play. About us: Michaela and Jane are both farmers who work down the road from the house. In the winter, we both work mostly from home. Michaela is also a professional chef and food stylist. We moved to the area from Manhattan in May 2015 to start our farm. Shortly after that, we said goodbye to our 15 year old sweet Wheaten Terrier. With all our extra dog love to share, we started taking care of other people's dogs during that time. If your dog is older and needs special attention, we have a lot of patience and can go the extra mile. If your dog is younger and needs lots of exercise, we will go on lots of walks and spend time playing. We used to walk dogs at two local animal shelters, and we have experience working with dogs with all kinds of personalities. Jane grew up with a Shitzu and Michaela grew up with Irish Wolfhounds, so we love all different sizes of dogs! About our home: We live in a two story duplex with a front and back yard. We are happy to have your dog sleep in our room if that is what they're used to. There are lots of dogs in the neighborhood if your dog likes social time. If your dog is well trained and likes spending time outside, they can join us at the farm. 24/7 supervision may be available if necessary. Talk to us ahead of time and we can let you know if that's an option. But any dog that stays with us will have lots of attention and love. We can negotiate on price for longer visits and for visits in the winter (when we're not so busy with the farm!), so talk to us if you need it.
