Farm Retreat for Well-Mannered Pets
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Kim. My whole life (including my business!) is built around my love of animals. I live on a 3-acre farm with my four horses and my pot-bellied pig. All of my current animals live outdoors but for most of my life I’ve had dogs and/or cats. I don’t have either of my own right now, but I miss having them in my life. When your dog or cat stays with me, they will be loved and treated as if they were my own. Because I often have visitors and clients in my home and on my farm related to my equine-assisted learning business, I do require that all dogs/cats who stay with me are either well socialized, obedience trained or crate trained. This is for everyone’s safety and peace of mind! Dogs must be housebroken and cats must be litter box trained. Please bring your own litter box and your cat’s preferred litter. All pets must be under flea and tick prevention and non-aggressive.
Reviews
Theo was in heaven under Kim’s care on her beautiful farm property. I think he was sorry to leave! It was so nice and reassuring knowing he was being so well cared for while I was away. Kim sent daily updates and photos. Thank you Kim and Theo will be thrilled to be back next time we board with you!
Kim was fantastic with our 10 year old German Shepherd. She even learned the German commands ahead of our dog's stay. Kim sent us pictures every day which made us happy that our dog looked like she was on vacation too. Our dog had a lot of room to run on Kim's property. We will definitely be reserving with Kim again.
Our 12 year old Lab, Savannah, stayed with Kim for 5 days and had the most exciting time! Kim immediately made her feel right at home when we arrived. Her level of care, knowledge and attentiveness to her needs, especially as an older dog, completely exceeded our expectations and gave us 100% peace of mind while being away. We especially appreciated her communications throughout the week and the pictures she sent of her adventures. We loved the idea of Savannah enjoying a mini vacation at a farm. We highly recommend Kim and are already booking Savannah’s next "vacation"!
Couldn't have asked for more. Kim took good care of the dogs, communications were flawless, and even followed up. She went above and beyond, and we love the setting at her home.

Information Kim H. would like to know about your pet
The main thing I would like to know about a dog before boarding him or her is how well trained the dog is and whether the dog can be trusted off-leash. I’d also like to know how the dog is with other animals (such as horses, pigs and other dogs).
A typical day
Dogs that stay with me will enjoy on-leash walks along my dead-end country road 1-2 times per day (this road has very little traffic). Dogs that have a good recall will be able to join me off-leash as I do my morning and evening farm chores and/or can enjoy a long game of fetch in my 1 acre grass pasture. When the weather is nice, we can sit on the front porch together and read/rest. Dogs and/or cats can keep me company in my home-office while I work on the computer.
