5. Tamara J.
“Tamara was very communicative and took great care of our house and 2 dogs while we were gone for 5 days. We had busy schedules right before the trip, and so we weren't able to meet and greet ahead of time, but it was no issue at all and Tamara called me as soon as she got to the house and met the pups on day 1. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. I have one extremely energetic puppy, and a senior, lazier, alpha dog with separation anxiety. I can really tell the dogs were very happy and received lots of qualify attention and exercise while I was away. I will definitely be a repeat customer for as long as I'm living in the area. Thank you so much, Tamara!”

I would highly recommend and plan to re-book with Michelle.”

About: I'm a vet tech, dog trainer, and have experience in breeding, rescue, and shelter volunteering. I have my own pack of dogs, and am very educated in behavior and how to pair dogs for playtime. I consistently strive to learn more and stay on top of dog news. I am experienced in working with dogs with aggression and reactivity and can handle dogs with serious issues. I can handle puppies, seniors, dogs that need medication or assistance in other ways. I've worked very hard to be able to be adaptable and ready for anything. I own a lot of dogs and that has taught me that you need to be prepared for different temperaments, play styles, tolerance levels, and more. Things run smoothly in my farm because I treat every dog as an individual with their own needs. I have very playful dogs that are fantastic for temperament testing other dogs, and I have dogs that cannot be around other dogs but they still need mental and physical stimulation. I have built my farm to be one that can work for any dog regardless of temperament because that is what you need to be prepared for when owning many dogs. I was in the military and being prepared and adaptable was one of the biggest things I took from my service. I'm a veteran and constantly home! I spend all day playing with my dogs, reading in a giant puppy pile, and cleaning up after the dogs. I have multiple fenced off zones for dogs to play in. If your dog isn't into company, they will have their own 600 square feet fenced area to play, with all the toys their heart desires. If they love playing with other dogs, I will evaluate their temperament and match them with my dogs with similar play styles and they will have 1/4 acre to 1/2 acres zones to play in. They want to swim? I have a seasonal pond! Fetch? I play it all day, I'm a machine! My home is fun, safe, well regulated, and energy burning! Whatever your dog specifically needs is what I will provide. I also have fenced areas with privacy screens so if your dog can't handle seeing other dogs they can still get exercise and fun time.
18. Katy J.
“Katy is the most reliable and responsible person I’ve ever known! She takes very well care of her 3 pets and she’s loves them with her entire world. Although she works full time, she always makes time to help me out when I need it and her home is very well kept. I literally would trust her with my life and definitely recommend Katy as a pet caregiver.”

20. Valerie R.
“Valerie has been an animal lover since she was little. She started riding horses when she was in elementary school. Her love for horses took her to the rodeo scene where she was a champion barrel racer. She was also involved in her high school FFA program. She has always had dogs and loves them like they are her actual children. Just recently, she and her family have recently acquired chickens and goats to raise. Any family would be lucky to have Valerie look after their pets; she will definitely be attentive and make sure nothing happens!”
