Send them for FUN ON THE FARM !

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 11-15 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!

Our cat Houdini fit right in at Tracie's. She sent pictures which showed him enjoying the porch and texted how he made himself at home. We would definitely use her again.

Tracie and her family were great taking care of our 2 big dogs. She was very easy to deal with and communication through out was very good. Definitely will use Tracie and Family again!

Information Tracie D. would like to know about your pet

From Stage 5 Clingers to those that need a little more space, we know many 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 tweens 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 bed" - whatever they need!
