*I am currently accepting new clients!* I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, cattle, and horses in small-town Missouri. I helped care for our dogs, cats, 3 horses, and a small herd of cattle, as well as the occasional bottle calf. As a result, I am no stranger to the hard work that can go into caring for a multitude of animals. I adopted my first dog 8 years ago and began fostering dogs around the same time. While fostering dogs through both Columbia Second Chance and the Central Missouri Humane Society and discovered I had a knack, and passion, for working with "problem dogs". Throughout my time fostering, I worked with dog-aggressive dogs, human-aggressive dogs, and fearful dogs. My own dog came to me as a wild, young thing, and he is now a certified Canine Good Citizen! I've had ample opportunity to gain valuable experience over the past 5 years of pet sitting and hundreds of stays. If you choose me to take care of your pet, I promise to treat him or her just like I would my own and send him or her back to you tired and happy! I also have experience with providing medication to dogs and cats and am entirely comfortable doing so. BOARDING SERVICES: The benefit of boarding in Ashland, Missouri is that your dog will get the benefit of a low-stress country environment and an oversized backyard. I accept all breeds in my home and will take meet and greets with dogs of all sizes. I do recognize, however, that medium and large breed dogs fit better with my pack, but I'll give the smaller dogs a chance to keep up.
