Thurber Farm isn’t a typical dog boarding facility. It’s my home, my farm, and the space where I care for dogs the same way I care for my own.

 

I’m Mandy, and I started Thurber Farm in 2019 with a few chickens, some goats, and a full heart for animals. Over time, that turned into cows, a horse, and eventually this boutique boarding setup for dogs who don’t do well in loud, overcrowded facilities.

​

I live on the property and I personally care for every dog who stays here. This is not a high-volume kennel and it never will be. I have only four large indoor-outdoor kennels. I can give each dog real attention, consistent routines, and a calm relaxing environment.

​

What makes this place special is the care but also the location. My farm backs up to a 2,000-acre preserve. It’s quiet. There’s space. No constant barking. No chaos. Just fresh air, real grass, open land, at a peaceful pace. 

​

Some dogs love wandering the big open pasture. Some just want a cool, comfortable place to nap and decompress. Others want an active adventure, all of which I can accommodate.  I pay attention to each dog and what they need, not what’s easiest.

​

Thurber farm is a place where your dog will be treated like an individual, not a number, and cared for the way you would care for them yourself.
