From The President of Fetching the Dream, Inc. 

"Welcome to Fetching the Dream, Inc., where our mission is simple yet powerful; to provide exceptional, heart-centered care for every animal entrusted to us – from paws to hooves. 

As a lifelong animal advocate, I founded FTD with a vision to blend professional standards, trusted family value and genuine compassion into every service we offer. Whether it’s daily pet sitting, specialized care for seniors and rescues, or luxury boarding at our future Doggy Dude Ranch, our goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and truly at home. 

A core pillar of FTD is training and safety. Every team member completes a multi-week orientation and certification program, which includes National Pet-Sitting Certifications through industry recognized platforms, Pet CPR and First Aid Certification, with hands-on skills practice, Species-specific care training for dogs, cats, livestock, exotics, and equines, Equine First Aid certification. Shadowing at the FTD Ranch and real-world assessments to ensure consistent, professional care.

My background brings a strong, foundation in first aid and safety leadership. Prior to launching FTD I owned and operated a First Aid Safety business, where I conducted corporate safety evaluations, developed emergency protocols, and taught CPR, First Aid, and workplace safety training to organizations across multiple industries. Our company also restocked and maintained first aid kits for government accounts, police departments, industrial facilities, and corporate companies, ensuring compliance and readiness across high-standard environments. 

This professional safety experience is directly woven into FTD’s operational structure. From animal handling and medication protocols to secure home-entry procedures and emergency response plans, our safety standards reflect the same precision, accountability, and reliability required in corporate and government settings. Beyond exceptional care, we value transparency, reliability, and community impact, partnering with families and local rescues to make a meaningful difference. 

Thank you for taking the time to explore our services. We’re honored to have the opportunity to earn your trust and care for the animals you love most. Together, let’s help pets everywhere “Fetch the Dream”.

Warm Regards, 

Lynn Duerbeck /President & Founder"

Benefits of Hiring a Pet Sitter

Hiring a pet sitter can provide peace of mind for pet owners who are away from home for an extended period. A pet sitter can take care of basic needs such as feeding, watering, providing exercise and attention to the pet and administer medication if needed. Fetching the Dream offers even more when hired for pet sitting, all done at your request: bring in mail/packages, alter lights and blinds, and bring in or put out trash cans. We also ensure that the pet's living environment is clean and comfortable and clean your pet’s food and water bowl, and mat with each visit!  Choosing a reputable and trustworthy pet sitter is crucial to ensure that your furry friend is safe and in good hands while you are away.

Benefits of Hiring a Farm Sitter

Hiring a farm sitter is essential for farmers who need to travel for work or family, go on a vacation or for those who simply need to take a break from their daily tasks. At Fetching the Dream, we offer pet-to-hooves care which includes equine and other farm animals too! Whatever your routine is we will follow it for morning, midday and evening visits. Tasks we complete include feeding and watering, cleaning stalls, pens and coops, running feed loops, cleaning water buckets and troughs, put fresh hay out, prep for our next visit, assess each animal to ensure everyone is happy and healthy, basic grooming, and can also administer medications, ointments and other care required.  Choosing a farm sitter with the necessary experience and knowledge of farm animals and equipment is vital to ensure that the farm runs smoothly in the owner's absence, it can be nerve wracking to be away from your farm friends, but we work hard to make the process as smooth as possible. We meet you beforehand and give you regular updates each day.

Benefits of Hiring a Dog Walker

Hiring a dog walker is an excellent option for pet owners who have busy schedules and cannot provide their dogs with the necessary exercise they need. A dog walker can take the dog for a walk, play with them, and provide companionship while the owner is away. Additionally, dog walkers can assist with basic training and socialization, helping dogs to become well-adjusted and well-behaved. Choosing a reliable and experienced dog walker who is passionate about animals is essential to ensure that your furry friend receives the best possible care.
