Pet care experience

Large yard and loving family!

Grew up with animals of all sizes- from gerbils to horses. Spent most of my childhood cuddling dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and yes even a rescue turkey. As an adult I've continued my love of animals with my own small hobby farm on our 6 acres. Spent a year as a vet assistant and have a degree in biology to put my love for animals to use. I've frequently boarded dogs for extended stays and farm sat.

Rene and her family took the best care of Murphy. I’m not sure he wanted to come home. Lol! I received pics that showed he loved being with her family playing and just hanging out. She paid close attention to details that make him comfortable. Easy decision…will definitely use her again. 🐶😊

You dont have to look any further than this family. I have a nervous dog that walked in the door and felt right at home!

I can highly recommend Rene and her family! I have boarded my 2 dogs with her twice in the last few months and was very pleased each time! It is easy to see that she and her family are real animal lovers!

Rene and her children are truly one of the most loving families I have ever met. From the very first moment I met them, I felt an immediate sense of trust and comfort in leaving my two girls; besides, they love dogs, which makes their home a warm and wonderful place. Rene regularly sends me thoughtful updates and beautiful photos, which always brighten my day. I sure booked with them again, and if she takes my Piper and Lola, they will be regular.
