Safety, trust & environment
We have a very large fenced yard (almost an acre), 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Our dogs are generally friendly, warm up quickly, and they do come with quirks! I can crate your dog if requested to fit their schedule or as needed. I know that dogs are used to their daily routine, and I will be as accommodating as possible to make them comfortable and mirror their structure. Also, we have chickens fenced in an adjacent area
Availability
I currently only work mostly remote part-time hours, and my husband is retired so my husband and I are home during the day for the most part. We are a team!

A typical day
Our daily routine starts around 6 AM when the dogs head outside for a potty break, followed by breakfast (we do both morning and evening feedings). Then it’s back outside—because if you know, you know! After that, it’s time for exercise and play, followed by some rest, usually in a crate for a cozy nap. I sometimes take our Weimaraner for a walk in the morning or after dinner, depending on the day. Dinner is typically served around 5 PM. We have a dog-friendly home with plenty of toys, a spacious backyard, and a convenient doggie door for easy access. During the day, we play fetch, tug-of-war, explore the property, practice basic obedience training, and even go on car rides if your pup enjoys them!
ABOUT us
Pet care experience
Helie Homestead Pet Resort and Services is a loving, structured environment and we work as a team to give the best care possible for your animals. Our team consists of myself, my husband Jake, and my two boys, James and Jaxon, aged 12 and 11.
I’ve raised and cared for various animals all of my life and will be the primary caregiver. I have the most experience with dogs, cats, horses, and goats. My grandmother was an avid animal lover and I grew up helping and learning from her. She bred and professionally showed cats, dogs, and horses. So I know many of the ins and outs of care and I can administer basic first aid, medication, bathing, cleaning ears, and clipping nails. I have helped deliver kittens/puppies and fostered and watched dogs for family and friends.
We hope that you will consider booking with us where your dog will feel safe and comfortable rather than locked in a crate or kennel the majority of the time. We keep a structured schedule and offer play, and rest time, and encourage the traits and structure you want for your pup or kitty!
