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.

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

Lives on a farm/ranch
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
Children 6-12 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

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.

Urban farm family seeks wet noses

Pet care experience

I live with my husband Frank and teenage son on a mini urban farm in North Austin that 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. Our kids, ages 14 and 17, 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.

Addie and Frank were wonderful. Their huge fenced backyard was a great escape for our dogs, they followed all of our instruction, and most importantly kept the dogs safe. We would highly recommend them and use them again! Thanks again. MIZ

Addie and Frank were an amazing team to care for Roxy while I was out! Great, loving home for Roxy’s staycation and she was very comfortable with the family. Appreciate the great care provided!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
