Because I work from home, pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s built into my entire daily routine. Here is how guest dogs fit right into my everyday flow: Morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): Fresh Air & Breakfast Your dog and I kick off the day with an early bathroom break, morning feedings, and a leisurely stroll around the property or an energizing trail walk before I start my workday. Midday (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM): Farm Play & Bathroom Breaks Since I work on site, midday is dedicated to play and outdoor time. Guest dogs get dedicated play sessions on our 2 acres, a mid-day pot break, and a chance to stretch their legs while I do afternoon farm chores. Afternoon (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Quiet Workday Companionship During work hours, dogs relax nearby—whether resting in the same room as me or relaxing after their afternoon play. High-energy dogs or puppies get periodic check-ins and quick breaks as needed. Evening (5:30 PM – 8:00 PM): Trail Walks, Dinner & Wind Down Once the workday ends, your dog and I head out for an evening walk along local trails or extended play in the yard. After dinner, guest dogs settle in for feeding time and cozy evening downtime. Night (9:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Final Potty Break & Bedtime A final night-out in the yard ensures everyone is comfortable and settled before heading to sleep in a secure, quiet environment.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog isn't just getting a place to crash—they're getting a full countryside vacation! Because I work on site, I’m around pretty much 24/7 to throw the ball, give belly rubs, and keep everyone happy. Here’s what life looks like for your pup at my place: Constant House Company: No sitting in a crate for 8 hours waiting for someone to get home. Pups hang out right next to my desk while I work, getting routine breaks and endless affection. 2 Acres of Safe, Off-Leash or Long-Line Fun: I have 2 wide-open acres of countryside to explore. Since the property is unfenced, safety is my absolute top priority—guest dogs are kept securely on long lines for sprawling fetch games, or walked on-leash unless you’ve explicitly cleared them for voice-recall off-leash play. Trail Walk Adventures: For dogs with energy to burn, I skip the boring sidewalk trots and head straight out for scenic, leashed trail walks right off the property. Farm-Savvy Supervision: Growing up around dogs and cats means reading animal body language is second nature to me. All outdoor time is 100% supervised and controlled. Your Routine, Maintained: Tailored meals, meds, bedtime quirks—whatever keeps your dog feeling secure, I stick to it. If they love crate sleeping, great! If they prefer a plush dog bed by the window, even better. Photo Updates: Expect regular photos and videos of your pup living their best farm life while you're away!

Information Shannon P. would like to know about your pet
To make sure your pup has the best (and safest!) stay, here are a few key details that help me prepare: Voice Recall & Off-Leash Habit: Since my 2 acres are unfenced, I keep guest dogs on long safety lines by default. How are they on a leash, and do they have a reliable recall if we're working in open spaces? Prey Drive & Animal Reactions: How do they react to other animals? Since I have cats, knowing if your dog gets overly excited, curious, or reactive around small pets helps me set boundaries early. Energy Level & Exercise Preference: Are we talking a high-energy trail runner who needs back-to-back fetch games, or a low-key couch potato who prefers short strolls and long naps? Meal & Snack Rules: What’s their feeding schedule, and do they have any food allergies or stomach sensitivities? (Feel free to pack their favorite treats or chew toys!) Medical Needs & Medications: Any oral meds, joint supplements, or pre-existing conditions I should keep an eye on while they’re playing? Quirks & Comfort Zones: Do they get nervous during thunderstorms? Are they a resource guarder with toys? Prefer sleeping in a crate, or on a pile of blankets next to my desk? The more quirks I know, the more at-home they’ll feel!
A typical day
Morning Stretch & Breakfast: I start with an early yard outing, followed by fresh water and breakfast. Once food settles, I do a relaxed morning stroll to check out the sights with your pup. Workday Desk Buddies: I log into work, and guest dogs set up shop in my office. They get a chew toy, a plush bed, and plenty of head scratches between my meetings. Lunchtime Midday Energy Burn: Time to stretch those legs! We head outside for a solid hour of yard games, long-line exploration, and fresh air. Afternoon Nap Time: An exercised dog is a happy dog. The afternoon is dedicated to quiet rest while I wrap up the workday. Evening Trail Adventure: Work is done, and it's time for the main event! Your dog and I suit up for a scenic trail walk to burn off the rest of the day’s energy. Dinner & Wind Down: Feeding time, followed by couch lounge time, belly rubs, and bedtime prep.

Pet care experience
Lifetime Farm Experience Growing up on a farm with five dogs, and multiple cats gave me an intuitive understanding of animal behavior and means I can handle almost anything they throw at me. A 2-Acre Private Playground & Trail Access Unlike standard suburban yards, my 2-acre property offers your dog ample space to safely run, explore, and play on a long line. Sorry still not fenced in for dogs. For high-energy breeds, I provide structured walks on scenic local trails right from the property. Constant On-Site Presence Because I work on site, your dog gets continuous companionship, supervision, and routine pot breaks. They are never left alone for long stretches.
