Fun, Loving, and Family

Pet care experience

Our homestead is a loving, structured environment and we work as a team to give the best care possible for your animals. Our team consists of myself, my husband Jake, and my two boys, Jaxon and James, aged 9 and 10. I’ve raised and cared for various animals all of my life and will be the primary caregiver. I have the most experience with dogs, cats, horses, and goats. My grandmother was an avid animal lover and I grew up helping and learning from her. She bred and professionally showed cats, dogs, and horses. So I know many of the ins and outs of care and I can administer basic first aid, medication, bathing, cleaning ears, and clipping nails. I have helped deliver kittens/puppies and fostered and watched dogs for family and friends. We hope that you will consider booking with us where your dog will feel safe and comfortable rather than locked in a crate or kennel the majority of the time. We keep a structured schedule and offer play, and rest time, and encourage the traits and structure you want for your pup or kitty!

Logie seemed right at home. Not sure she wanted to leave. Jennifer and her family treated Logie as one of their own pets. Highly recommend. Thanks.

Our two very busy dogs recently spent four nights in the care of Jennifer and her whole family while we were spending the Thanksgiving holiday at a nearby Airbnb that did not allow dogs. It could not have gone any better. The dogs were warmly welcomed and got lots of attention. It felt like we were dropping them off at summer camp. They even got to try herding goats for the first time! Both of Jennifer’s dogs seemed to do very well with ours. We got plenty of updates throughout the visit. We hope to be able to bring our dogs to Jennifer again next year.

Chip had the best time with Jennifer and her family! She sent daily pictures and videos to update us during his stay and was always very responsive and responsible. The environment was perfect for him and he made lots of new human, dog, (and goat) friends! Would love to have her watch Chip again if we make it up to the area in the future!

This was an excellent experience. We were staying nearby with our 1 year old pup and needed someone to watch him for the evening. Jennifer and the whole family really looked after our pup Greyson. He got exercise, playtime, and love. After the meet and greet we had no worries. Jennifer has a one acre fenced yard for dogs to play. We would 100% book again with Jennifer if we're back in the area.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a very large fenced yard (almost an acre), 2 dogs, and now two kittens (currently living in the basement). Our dogs are generally friendly but they do come with some quirks! I can crate your dog if requested or as needed. I know that dogs are used to their daily routine and I will be as accommodating as possible to make them comfortable and mirror their structure. Also, we have goats and chickens fenced in an adjacent area.

Information Jennifer H. would like to know about your pet

Feeding times, amounts, any other dietary and exercise needs, sleeping arrangements, and medications/allergies. Also, helpful what their usual daily routine looks like and any personality quirks or challenges. I would like to know whether or not they are crate and house-trained before booking. Last, but important if there is any aggression in certain situations I should look out for during their stay.

A typical day

The dogs get up go outside around 6 am, then have breakfast (We do morning and evening feeding times). Then they go outside again haha if you know you know! up next, exercise and play time followed by rest time usually in a crate. I occasionally take our Weimaraner for a walk in the am or after dinner. Dinner for the dogs is usually around 5pm. And of course, we have a house with plenty of toys and a backyard with a doggie door into our house. We play fetch, tug of war, explore the property, do basic obedience training, and go for car rides if your dog likes them.
