My Adventure to Ascension Kennels!
April 12th, 2011 | Published in Pet Sitting Business, Uncategorized | 106 Comments
About a month ago, I received an email from Stephanie Cimmarusti, the owner of Ascension Kennels in Pilot Hill, CA. She’s been breeding dachshunds and pet sitting in her area, but was trying to build up her boarding business and wanted to get together, talk shop and see if we can help each other out.
Stephanie of Ascension Kennels
I’m always eager to help and get to know other pet sitters, so we set a date for me to come up and see her property. Pilot Hill is almost an hour from Folsom in the hills, nestled in the Oak trees with panoramic views.
I was a little nervous about driving up there, but was comforted by my trusty travel companions, Dutch and Kaylee, and we all set out for a day in the country.
As I started down Salmon Falls Road, I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. It was a perfect spring day, the hills were a bright green with sprawling ranches scattered throughout the countryside, and I was groovin’ to the tunes in my car. (Do people still say groovin’?). I was going into that state of gratitude for being able to enjoy this wonderful adventure.
Everything was going great, but of course, being (which I now can’t deny) “direction challenged” took a wrong turn and knew that I was not going in the direction that I needed to. The road was getting narrower and narrower and paving was hit and miss.
Me chilling on a hammock. Do I have to leave??!!
I remembered that I just got one of those new Android phones with GPS and thought I’d give it a try. You guessed it, there wasn’t any reception. So I started down the road to start all over from the main highway. I finally got reception and called Stephanie.
Two of the Doxies
She eventually had to come find me and bring me to her house as I was getting low on gas! I’m glad she did because the dirt road to her house would have been too much for my bucket of bolts car. BTW, Stephanie provides transportation to her house if you don’t want to brave the dirt road.
Just so you know, MapQuest was off by 4 miles which was why I couldn’t find her road. Just thought I’d mention that.
Once we got there, we were greeted by her adorable 13 week old dachshund puppies that are for sale. They had never seen another dog before, so Dutch and Kaylee caused quite of stir. They soon settled down and we were able to look over the place.
My trusted travel companions - Kayee and Dutch
Stephanie, who is a licensed Vet Tech and groomer, envisions her boarding facility to be more of a rustic, back to nature environment for the dogs. They have tons of room to run and play with plenty of shade from the big Oak trees. She plans weekend events such as scavenger hunts, Easter egg hunts and pie eating contests! She also provides nature walks through her wooded property. Stephanie would like this it to be a fun, safe place for your dogs.
Where the dogs can play
Eventually, she would like to be able to board 20 dogs at a time where they will sleep in climate controlled housing and expand the amount of acreage the dogs can play in. Since she is a Vet Tech, she can care for any medical need or physical therapy your pet may need. She’ll even cook for your pets!! How great is that. In addition, she can come to your home to care for your pets provided you live in Pilot Hill, Cool, Georgetown, Auburn and the surrounding areas. I could see that Stephanie is a loving, caring person that genuinely cares for all animals.
This is the view from Stephanie's front yard!
If you have friends in her area, please give her a call at (530)906-4334 and help her build her vision of her “dog haven in the hills”.
So, it was time to bring me to my car which was on the side of the road to start my journey back home. She told me I could get gas in Cool which was in the opposite way back home. I got my gas and stopped at Subway to eat and was on my way.
With my tank full , my belly full and Dutch and Kaylee chillin’ in the back seat, I was reflecting on all the emails I will need to answer when I got home and all the work that wasn’t done today. But the way I see it, making a new friend and being able to experience a new place and beautiful scenery is good for the soul and gave me a short break to fuel my spirit. The work will always be there!
