Pet care experience

From dogs to goats, I can help!

I was raised with dogs (shelties, primarily) and now have a hobby farm with goats, dogs (german shepherds, a lab and a sheltie), ducks and a cat. I'm reliable and friendly and happy to follow whatever instruction and routine you need. Your pets will be well cared for and you'll receive plenty of photo updates while you're gone! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate nearly any routine your pet is used to, including frequent walks and potty breaks. I will work with you to keep your pet's schedule as close to what they are used to as possible. If boarding in my home, we have a fenced yard, plenty of area to go on leashed walks, and they will get plenty of one on one attention and care. I'm happy to do transport or add in a bath during your pet's stay so your life can be as simple as possible while you're trying to get out the door for your trip.

Thankful for such a speedy response to my last min request for boarding for my 9 mo beagle mix pup Fiona. Great communication and loved the pics of my girl having fun with her new bestie pup friend that I got throughout the weekend. I really appreciated the bath they gave Fiona too. Pickup and drop off was easy. Will definitely use again!

We just boarded both our dogs for three days with Nathan and we will definitely be coming back. He’s very attentive and listens to all the needs and recommendations for your pups. He’s also very communicative on everything about your pups throughout there stay. Can’t recommend him enough and plan on continuing to board Ember and Roscoe with him.

Nathan was excellent. He took great care of Ginger for a last minute boarding and transportation request. He communicated nicely at every step and offered extra advice regarding her general care as she headed to her foster family as I headed to my deployment. He was energetic, thoughtful and kind. Ginger didn't even bark when he approached the car and she went with him easily, which is so not like her, so he's got good energy.

Nathan is very dependable and helped me when I had a short notice out of state family funeral. I came home to happy chickens and a happy cat.
