Information Tracie D. would like to know about your pet

From Stage 5 Clingers to those that need a little more space, we know most dog breeds and critter types! Our home is fun and laid back, and a perfect place for new friends to rest their bones & paws! ******** We are a good fit for your dog if: --They are great at recalling, or polite on leash. --Large strong dogs that could pull my kids down the road are NOT the best match. --We have a flock of hens and ducks roaming our farm, so no bird dogs or known/suspected poultry cravings here, please. --Highly reactive dogs that may bark often at outside animals are not the best fit for our farm. I know it can be the nature of some breed, but after hosting 100's of pups, the ones that bark a lot tend to be stressful for everyone, including the pup! *********** We can adjust to whatever lifestyle the pup (or critter) prefers. Want to snuggle by the fireplace and watch Minecraft? Done. Need to run for miles and be "free" ? Got 'cha. We can honor whatever requests like "no sleeping in bed" to "please make sure Fido gets his sleeping jacket and heated socks on before naptime." Whatever they need!

Pet care experience

When you have to leave your beloved pets, why not let them have a little vacation, too? We have a charming hobby farm just west of the metro. Your pup (and other critters) can roam acres of meadows and bike paths, swim, run, visit the resident farm animals, and more! Two adults working from home, and 3 kids ages 13-17 that adore all animals, your pets will be spoiled and happy! We have been critter sitting for a long time, and have dozens of families that can provide referrals, just ask!

Tracie and her family were so kind and loving to our dog. He loved being on the farm and received plenty of attention and snuggles. They had a number of dogs staying with them and our dog had a blast playing with other pups all week. Tracie kept us updated with photos while we were away and was great at communicating. Highly recommend.

Ralf had so much fun at the farm! Tracie and her daughter took him on adventures and let him explore the farm. He was so happy and exhausted when we picked him up. He enjoyed his vacation as much as we did! :)
