Highlights
Pet care experience
Best home away from home for pets!
My name is Julie and I'm a nurse practitioner by profession, but would much rather sit on the porch with my dogs while watching my goats, pigs, horse and chickens enjoy their acres of pasture. Animals have always played an instrumental role in my life and most know that our dogs are my favorite children. ;) As a family we have always been pet loving, too! We currently have two standard doodles that are 7 and 2 years old. We have also have a horse, chickens, pigs and goats. I am proud to say that we take extreme care in providing not only basic needs for all the animals we have, but I go out of my way to provide them with supplements, toys, and a lot of human love and interaction. At the moment, I do not have any animals who have special needs or medical requirements, but have in the past. I personally have a lot of medical experience and am quick to recognize changes in pets. I am also comfortable providing injections, administering eye and ear drops or whatever special care your pet may need. I have trained both our current dogs myself and have had an elderly dog who needed a lot of additional care.

Ratings and reviews
Gunnar, our Flat Coated Retriever spent nine days with Julie & Michael. We were very comfortable that they have a nice home and a large, well tended, and fenced outdoor area. Gunnar had other good dogs that he was able to interact with while he was there. We certainly would book with Julie and Michael again
Excellent boarding for our giant dogs! Just what we needed. No stress, no worry, great communication. We will definitely be using time and again. Thanks for an effortless service!
Lots of room to run around and chill resident dogs (and people) to hang out with. Our pups got a vacation at the same time we did
Beautiful place and excellent experience. Julie and Michael were great!
Julie and Michael were phenomenal! They took such good care of my two greyhounds. The pups got to run and play and also lounge and enjoy their relaxation time with Julie and Michael. They were very responsive and easy to work with. I will absolutely have my pups stay at the farm again!
Based on how tired Ruth was she was well entertained. Lots of room to run on the secured property.

Schedule
All the pets are on a schedule and currently get fed twice daily. We are not able to allow for free feeding due to some members not having any self control (not calling anyone out ha!) Most mornings they are fed between 6-7am and their dinner is usually around 6pm. I work outside the home 2 days a week and am home on the other days. When we do activities on the weekend we are thoughtful to not leave our pups for extend periods of time. either.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our home our pets are all on a feeding schedule. When the weather is nice every one loves to be outside, running around and playing in the yard or resting on the porch where there's an abundance of water. They also are welcome in the house anytime. The entire property is fenced in, so I do not use leashes, but do respect and acknowledge that when going to a client's home leashes are likely needed. I am open to following special requests, within reason.

A typical day
I live on a completely fenced in 15 acre farm, which allows for a lot of exploration, running and sniffing! It's not unusual to see my dogs sunning themselves on the front porch in the morning and napping on the couch for the afternoon after they've enjoyed playing fetch. I'm a sucker for buying an assortment of toys that they like to chew on and hide in the yard and (sadly) sometimes destroy.
