Pet care experience

Farm on 14 acres in Cedar Springs

I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family treats dogs like they are human children, and your dog would be treated like a prince or princess. I ask that you ensure your dogs are all up to date on vaccinations and neutered/spade. Dogs that are trained off leash will do better at my home since our yard is not fenced in.

Was very accommodating and made sure my dogs were feeling comfortable in a new environment. Sent pictures which made me feel good. I would recommend highly.

Michelle did a great job with our anxious Reggie. She tucked him away from the others to help calm him...he's not around other happy, boisterous big friends, so this was all new for him. Thanks for taking the time and extra care with him 💕

Safety, trust & environment

I have 14 acres of relatively secluded farmland. We throw a ball for our dogs and also walk them along the White Pine Trial each night. If it’s rainy or cold, we go into our indoor arena and let the dogs play and run around. I only accept dogs that are good off-leash because we do not have a fenced in yard.

Pets

A typical day

I love to let the dogs explore the farm, and take in all smells. I also love to play games with the dogs and practice things like come, stay, etc and give treats for rewards. I also do chores around the yard and the dogs love to "help" me with all that I am doing.
