Dog Heaven!
Pet care experience
I am home most of the day on a 35 acre farm and love all animals so I have decided to offer a dog sitting service. The business is family run with my two daughters, Laura and Katie, along with a firend who helps out from time to time, so your dog is always in good care. We have a custom built heated and air conditioned dog kennel with 6 indoor/outdoor runs suitable for larger breeds and 3 completely indoor spaces suitable for smaller or shy dogs. There is a large field for the dogs to run in daily or go on walks. I also have a large fenced pen suitable for all dogs so they can run off lead. I have a lot of experience with dogs; my daughters showed our aussies in AKC and ASCA as well as 4-H, in showmanship/conformation, obedience and agility. We bred Australian Shepherds, so we built the kennel. Now that we no longer breed there is a very nice dog kennel that wasn't getting used, so we are offering sitting. In addition to showing and breeding dogs, my daughter worked in a pet store during college. They provided a lot of training, so we are familiar with many different breeds/food/and dog products. I am accepting most large dog breeds, but here are some breeds that are too large/heavy for the kennels--ex. St. Bernard, Great Dane, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Huskies, and German Shepherds. I have two dogs (a Frenchie and a Teacup Yorkie) but they will not be in contact with your dogs as they live in my home. You can feel comfortable knowing that your dog is on a vacation while you're away. Feel free to contact me with any questions and/or schedule a time to bring your furry friend for a meet and greet!:) **Kennel hours for drop off and pick up time is from 8:30am-8pm** This gives us time to feed and care for dogs in the mornings and in evenings before other dogs are brought to/taken from the facility. We can sometimes have more flexibility depending on everyone's schedules, so if you're in a jam or have an emergency, please let me know. We are very timely and expect that from clients too. I will respect you by always being on time and ask to be treated with the same respect. If you are going to be more than 30 minutes late for a meet and greet then I will ask you to re-schedule. If you are going to be more than 15 minutes late for drop off or pick up I ask that you please notify me. :)
Reviews
Absolutely amazing! Sent us pictures every day of them on walks. Our flight was delayed and she made sure everything would be fine and stress free. Our dogs were happy as can be when we picked up and we can’t wait to use Laura again!
Very nice and took great care of our three dogs! Was always quick to respond to questions.
Laura was wonderful to work with. I had a young dog and a senior dog to bring over. Both of them seemed to have a great time and were well cared for while with Laura. Thank you!
Laura and her fam were incredible!! They took such good care of my dogs while I was on vacay. One of them has separation anxiety and she made sure to send pictures and let me know they were doing great!! I will definitely be rebooking with her next time I need a sitter.

Information Laura K. would like to know about your pet
I like to know how the dog is with the other dogs, how trained they are as far as being house broke, and if they are trained to be off leash or only on. They do need to be trained to walk nicely on a leash. They must have proof of current rabies vaccination. I don't accept non neutered males, as they tend to mark everything, including their neighbors. Withthe excpetion of extra large or big/heavy/strong dogs, I do not have any breed preference.
A typical day
Dogs really seem to enjoy the facility and unlike boarding them at a vets' office I give the dogs daily one on one time and the attention they deserve. With very large spacious kennels the dogs are free to stretch their legs rather than being cooped up in a crate. Even though the dogs have their kennels with outdoor runs, I take them out to play and potty often. A lot of my day is spent outside caring for and working horses, so I am constantly with them. I love taking the dogs on walks if they're not trained to be off leash. If your dog is good off leash i take them to our large backyard to play and run. In addition i can take them to play fetch and if they enjoy swimming there is a pond with a dock in our yard. I specialize the care to each dog individually asking that you provide a brief schedule of what their day is spent doing so that I can best mimic it to keep your dog comfortable and relaxed.

Availability
I have a stable and horses, dogs, and a large cut flower garden to tend, so we are outside a lot. I do work part time, but it is primarily from home. Caring for dogs is just a part of our daily routine
