Information Austin & Francis C. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies and daily routines will be helpful while we care for your pets. Where they tend to sleep and if you allow them in furniture is also important to us so we can best care for them while they are with us.

A typical day

We exercise dogs on a wooded trail, in a large yard, and we also have a pond for dogs that like to swim. We love playing fetch for those dogs that are good off leash.

Loving dog care in a family setting

Pet care experience

I was raised on a farm where we never had less than three dogs. We now have 4 kids (ages 12, 14, 16, and 18) and are looking to love your dog like it was our own. We homeschool and are most often at home and available to play with dog friends all day. We have 6 acres, a large yard, and a wooded walking trail. Our kids are versed in pet care responsibility and love dogs in particular. We use Rover as our travel fund! We are looking forward to finding new places to explore every year. We enjoy camping and the beach and an occasional big cities. We are always looking for travel suggestions! We have lots of space, take frequent walks, and enjoy baking dog biscuits.

Our 2 German Shepherds stayed with Austin and Francis, and they were very responsive throughout the booking process and during our dogs stay. We got pictures everyday and could tell our dogs were treated like family. Highly recommend and would absolutely bring out dogs back.

Our dog Layla had the best time and was treated like family! She was well taken care of and loved on by the whole family which gave me peace of mind while out of town. I would highly recommend this family to take care of any pet while you are away.

Austin and her family took wonderful care of our dog while we were away on vacation. They have such a great location and are obviously very caring and thoughtful people. Communication was great and our dog was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Can’t wait to use them again next time!
