About me
My name is Gudrun Schneider and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
Since childhood I have cared for many different animals, from guinea pigs and budgerigars to horses and dogs. Working with animals and building a close bond with them has become a true passion of mine.
In 1999, I moved to Extertal-Silixen with my Icelandic horse farm and founded the Extertaler Pet Boarding Facility.
The facility has been approved by the Veterinary Office of Detmold, and my qualifications in animal care have been officially verified.
I am supported by dedicated staff members who care for our guest animals with great commitment and affection.
