Experienced animal caregivers
Pet care experience
Mark and I are hobby farmers in Chesterton, and we care for three dogs, four cats, 10 goats, two horses, and a flock of chickens. We've been horse trainers all our lives and have raised numerous puppies. Sharon has written for animal magazines for many years such as Hobby Farms, Horse Illustrated, Dog Fancy, Cat Fancy, and Veterinary Practice News. Mark is a retired London Mounted Branch police officer and Head of Horsemanship Instruction at Culver Academies. Most of our animals are rescues and we have dedicated our lives to make their lives happy. We would love to do the same for yours! We will take your dog on interesting and engaging walks, near your home or at a park. We tailor the walk to you and your dog's needs. Drop in visits are no problem for both dogs and cats. We will play games with your pets and check to make sure their day is comfortable and stress-free. And we will keep in touch by texting you pictures of your pets. Feel free to choose either Sharon or Mark. Just let us know when you do your free Meet and Greet. Sometimes both of us will do your visit together. Two for one! We are also happy to collect your mail, bring in your trash cans, and carry in deliveries. We strive to leave your house and your pets safe and secure. We are both fully vaccinated against Covid. Please make sure to ask us for a $20 off coupon before you book your service. We can't wait to meet you and your lovely pets.

Sharon is awesome & so dependable!!
Sharon and Mark are the best! I can't imagine using anyone but them. Always there when we need them. I can't say enough good things about them.
Sharon and Mark are the best!
Couldn’t ask for better care! Sharon and Mark went out of their way on our first day in a tough situation with our lab pup. Very thankful.

Safety, trust & environment
We treat your pets as though they are our own with lots of loving care and kindness. We offer daycare and boarding for existing clients only. We take one dog at a time and they must get along with our dogs. We are happy to board cats. We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. We offer our private "dog park" to clients for a minimal fee.
Information Sharon & Mark W. would like to know about your pet
Let us know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors, such as lunging or door dashing. Also let us know if your dog isn't socialized or house trained so we will know how best to approach them. It is not our policy to chase a dog, grab them, or frighten them in any way. We are not dog trainers by profession, but please let us know and we will do our best to work together for a solution.
A typical day
We will explore your neighborhood or surrounding parks, play fetch and have quiet time too. We are super careful to make sure your pets are safe on walks by avoiding strange dogs and taking care around people and traffic.
