Pet care experience
I am opening up for a handful of NEW Dog clients at this time. However, No fighting or guard breeds Animals are the joy of my life. I love to pamper and cater to their needs and desires. I offer a home away from home experience for your dog and/or cats. Your dog will get to choose from hanging out in the house with our family ( people and dogs) or romping or relaxing outside in one of our fenced yards. We have 3 medium size, well-socialized dogs who enjoy furry guests. I have 15 years experience as a dog trainer specializing in Agility. I have 34+ (adult) years experience caring for animals (horse, dogs, cats and assorted creatures). In my life I have worked for vets, run horse farms for other people and currently run my own farm. Outdoor time: I have 3 fenced dog yards connected to our house. Our fencing is strong and secure. Dogs can ask to go outside during the day or evening for as long or as little of time as they choose. One yard is reserved for small or older/feeble dogs. It is 20 x 30 feet. The other two dog yards are about 1/3 of an acre each. Very active playful doggie guests can romp with two of my dogs in one of these yards, enjoy time with my old fella, or hang out all by themselves. I have many options. I can walk dogs on a leash on my 17 acre farm or down our quiet country road. I also have a half acre fenced agility training area. Dogs are never left outside on the occasion that all the humans are off the farm. Doggie guests and our horses never meet! Indoor time: Basically my dogs like to be wherever I am at. Indoors or out, they follow me everywhere—yes, even the bathroom (they stand right outside the door). If I watch TV they are there. If I’m cooking they are more than there. If I’m cleaning they stand and stare until I settle down. You dog can join our dogs routine or be kept separate in our house. At night I prefer to crate doggie guests but am willing to make exceptions. I also offer an indoor cat area that is away from the dogs. It is better for your pets if they come with the food that their tummies are used to. Our home is flea free and we appreciate it if our guests are on flea treatment. If your pet/s need to get to a vet or emergency vet center, I will take the pet as long as arrangements for payment has been established between pet owner and the vet/business. $30.00 per night for puppies We do not take unaltered males and Pit Bulls or crosses.
Reviews
My dog LOVED staying with Jill. It was my first time boarding her and Jill was good about sending me updates. She enjoyed running and playing with the other dogs in her care. I will definitely use Jill the next time I need to board my pet
Gill was absolutely amazing with my dog ! Definitely will be booking with her again!
Jill did an amazing job with our 10 month giant black lab/old English sheep dog mix, George. She sent us pictures and kept us up to date on all the fun he was having with the other dogs even through What’s App! George’s favorite job was helping Jill feed the horses each day and we loved seeing the photos. Thank you for taking good care of him and would bring back again!
Jill was fantastic with my two dogs and made me feel at ease leaving them with a stranger for the first time. She really understands animals and I would trust her again with my boys.

Information Jill B. would like to know about your pet
Dogs have a great time here. Their favorite thing to do is to escort me to the barn and back to the house multiple times a day. The dog fence keeps them away from the horses. However they can get right next to the horses and love barking at them.
A typical day
My first profile shares in detail what dogs experience when they stay. I'll add that older dogs tend to wish to be in the house when I'm in and outside when I'm outside which is about half the day. The younger dogs love to be outside romping and playing.
