11 acres of outside fun

Pet care experience

We’re huge dog lovers! My wife and I both grew up on farms where dogs were like family. Now, we have 11 acres of land and a bunch of animals - 26 in total! There are two dogs, two horses, two Nigerian Dwarf Goats, and 20 chickens. Our four kids, aged 15, 13, 10, and 8, are all animal lovers too. They love spending time with the animals and making new friends.

Kristopher was great! Excellent communication and was flexible and understanding with our unique last minute booking. Our dogs had a fun time and were pooped when they came home!

Information Kristopher R. would like to know about your pet

Any obedience training you’re working on? Any special traits about your dog we should be aware of? Feeding schedule and sleeping behavior? What can we do to make your pets stay comfortable?

A typical day

Our day starts at 7 a.m. with a trip to the chicken coop to check for eggs. Then off to milk the goats, and finally feed the horses. Breakfast for the dogs is usually at 8. The kids are at home learners, so they settle into online class by 8:30. My wife or I are usually outside in the garden, or splitting wood, or hiking the 200 acres of nature trails behind our house. After lunch, it’s inside work and chill time until evening chores. After dinner, we have family time or sports activities. Last potty break is usually at 10.

We’re usually enjoying a relaxing day at home. I run my own business and can work from my home office whenever I need to. My wife is a wonderful stay-at-home mom, and we have a flexible schedule that allows us to accommodate your needs. We’re happy to make it work for you. It’s unlikely that your dog will be alone at any time.
