Homesteader and Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover my entire life, always owning at least a family dog. Before children, I worked at and managed horse barns. Those jobs gave me many skills when it comes to working with animals of varying sizes and temperaments, I also learned to administer medications and follow strict feeding plans. I have now been living on my own 25 acre homestead for almost 7 years. Here we have many different animals including our two outdoor farm dogs Hank (Aussie/Golden mix) and Neenah (Anatolian/Mareema mix), ducks, chickens, barn cats, rabbits, goats and the family horse. I am here all week caring for our own animals and homeschooling my 4 children, who are also animal lovers that are involved in several 4-H animal projects. Our human children range from 2-11 years old and have been raised up with animal safety and respect a top priority since it is incredibly important to me. Kids will never be left unattended with animals. Though you better believe that if your doggo loves cuddles, that I have a few kids and myself included, that would love to spoil them while they are with us.

Abby was super amazing with out puppy! She was super flexible with pickup and drop off times, and even taught our dog some new tricks!

Abby and her family are just (absolutely the best). The kids were great helpers and I am sure there wasn't a minute that Sadie wasn't being cuddled or played with. Communications were great (although the Rover platform could make it easier). Without a doubt Sadie has found a second home and this is not hyperbole: if something were to happen to me...they are exactly the kind of loving place I would want her to go. That is how much I think of them.

Incredibly positive experience! Abby and her family provided wonderful care for our Goose while we were away for a quick trip to the cities. Her genuine love for dogs was evident, and she went above and beyond to ensure our Goose's comfort and happiness, and sent us regular updates and photos to reassure us of that. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup, and would highly recommend her as a host for your dog! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a great experience, also we were her first Rover customer. It was a great experience for us and for our dog Angel. Abby is a very kind and caring lady. We are completely satisfied and plan on taking our dog to her again. She sent pictures and kept us informed as well. Great job Abby.

Safety, trust & environment

Our farm animals are all inside fencing to keep them safe. Boarding dogs would all be on leash, or run lines - if they want extra outside time. We have 25 beautiful acres that we can use to walk and explore to get dogs some exercise. Our dogs are friendly, but if personalities clash, we do have the space to also keep our dogs away. All dogs will have access to a crate in order for them to get down time, these will be kept in our basement living space so resting dogs are out of access of our 2 year old daughter.

Information Abby F. would like to know about your pet

Prior to booking I would love to know if your dog has any special needs ~ diet plans or medications that they would need during their stay. It is also important for me to know if they are good with kids and other dogs, though we do have the space to keep our dogs separate. It would also be helpful to know what their daily routines are so we can keep them on track and less stressed during their stay. I really hope to offer an experience that the dogs and owners can both feel comfortable with.

A typical day

We will try to keep days as similar to what your pet is used to at home. We have lots of space to go for walks around our acreage, with the opportunity for your dog to experience all the sights and smells that come with being on a homestead. Also our kids have always wanted to experience a dog that loves to play fetch...neither of ours enjoy it... so if yours does ~ they are in for a treat!

I am home full-time with my kids, our farm chores are very simple and don't take a lot of time so we have time between school lessons and house chores to do potty breaks, walks and playtime when it is needed.
