Urban farm family seeks wet noses
Pet care experience
We are a family of four with a large backyard homestead in North Austin. Our mini farm is perfect for dogs with lots of energy or who love watching "chicken TV" as we call it. (The coop is well fenced, so the rabbits and ducks have learned to ignore the dogs, too.) We lost both of our elderly pets during the pandemic, and Rover has been a wonderful way to invite dogs and cats back into our lives. My kids, ages 11 and 15, are great Rover helpers, and they have an endless supply of snuggles ready to give your pet. We only board one animal a time (or two, if they are from the same family), so your fur baby will get all our attention while we have them. I stay in close contact with pet owners to share photos and updates. Besides boarding, I love taking dogs for walks in the neighborhood or doing quick drop-ins for your cats while you're out of town.
Reviews
Addie was the best! She took amazing care of our pup. We picked her up happy and tired after a fun weekend of snuggles, walks and playing in their dream backyard. We will definitely be booking again!
Addie is amazing and we love having her watch our dog Hattie. She sends pictures and easy to reach and communicate with
Addie was a great host to our pup Barry. We appreciated the ability to host him over a holiday weekend. On top of all of that she was flexible in pick up due to travel mishaps on our end. Barry is exhausted from running around their backyard 🙌
Addie is fabulous with our dog Hattie, sends updates and we trust her completely! She always comes back happy 🩷

Safety, trust & environment
180 dog walks and counting! Hosting Rover dogs has become a big part of our lives -- we bring in your pet as if it were our own. We typically only have one dog at a time, so they get all of our attention while they are here. We can accommodate crate trained pets, but our house is a great alternative to traditional kennels for dogs that don’t prefer crates or being around other dogs.
Home
Information Addie B. would like to know about your pet
It’s good to know about your pet’s sleeping and eating habits and how often they need to go on walks or to use the bathroom. We can usually talk about that via text or during drop-off. Also... Important: If your dog has anxiety/attachment issues (ie, will bark if not in the same room, scratch at doors/floors, excessive jumping/biting), please let me know. We are passionate dog lovers who don't mind some high energy pets, but we are not able to care for dogs that cannot be left alone for up to 1-2 hours or who are extremely high-energy/babied.
A typical day
Walks on the neighborhood are a must. We have a greenbelt nearby, but we are also just as likely to play fetch in the backyard. Our half-acre backyard is a treasure trove of entertainment for dogs of all sizes.

I work from home and treat Rover as a part-time job, so these dogs and cats get a lot of attention. We live near several parks and neighborhood trails, and I love taking dogs out on the greenbelt trails when the weather is nice. If you're headed to the airport early in the morning or late at night, I am happy to coordinate pick-up or drop-off for a small extra fee.
