Daily life and sleeping

Nights are spent inside the farmhouse with the care team. The final walk goes out at 11:00 PM and the morning walk at 6:00 AM, and the group settles inside in between.

Individual space is available for a guest who needs it to settle: a quiet room away from the group, for as long as it helps. Tell us how your dog sleeps at home, including whether they are used to a crate at night, and we will talk through how they will settle here before the stay is confirmed.

Outdoors there are trails to walk, room to run, and water to play in when the weather allows, inside six-foot fenced areas on the five-acre farm. Every walk and playtime is supervised, and dogs are never outside unattended.

Chickens and other farm birds live here too, some of them free-ranging, which is one reason we ask how your dog is around smaller animals before a first stay.

Breakfast follows the 6:00 AM walk and dinner follows the 7:00 PM walk, each served away from other guests, with any medication given as your instructions say. Playtime is at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, the midday walk at 1:00 PM, and the final walk at 11:00 PM.

Between outings the group rests indoors. Weather, age, energy, and health decide how long an outing lasts: a senior takes a shorter walk on gentler ground, a puppy takes more frequent breaks, and everyone comes inside in heat or a storm.

These are the group’s usual times. Tell us about your pet’s meal and medication schedule before booking so we can confirm any individual arrangements with you.

Outings shorten in heat and stop in a storm, and the group rests indoors with air conditioning until it passes. A dog who is frightened by thunder gets a quieter indoor space and closer observation.

Rest between outings happens indoors in any weather. A guest who wants to step away from the group can, for as long as they need.
