Peace. Love. Play. Eat. Sleep.

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Stephen. I'm from Chicago, and my husband is from New Jersey, but we've found our home in Austin and have lived here for over twelve years. We live in a wonderful neighborhood and would love to welcome your pet into our home. Our lives changed when we met George, our brindle Catahoula. George has had a wonderful time staying with Rover.com hosts. Now we want to host your canine family member! We travel a lot, and love George. He used to stay with his friends at Canine Hilton on MLK (we loved them), but they have since closed due to the results of Austin's severe floods. We know the importance of finding a place your dog will be cared for and safe, which is why we decided to open up our home. We have a spacious home and back yard and our neighborhood is teeming with dog lovers. We'll have lots of play time, walks, and cuddles. My husband is a pharmacist and has experience working with veterinarians. He's comfortable providing medication to pets and we both have a great understanding of dog body language. Your dog will have a ton of fun with us and with George, we can't wait to spend time with them! We're happy to set up meet and greets to make sure we'd be a great fit for you!

We absolutely love Stephen! Ellie always has a blast when she stays with them. Ellie has stayed with Stephen twice now and we will definitely book with him again!

I saw Stephen care for his own dog, then take in his partner's dog and treat like his own. He is calm, compassionate and loves dogs.

Stephen, Nathan and their dog George were absolutely wonderful hosts. They provided me with frequent updates on Ellie which definitely provides peace of mind when leaving your furry ones behind. I would highly recommend them and look forward to booking them in the future again. Thank you for everything.

We have a spacious fenced in back yard which is perfect for playing ball or just chilling in the grass like George loves to do. Our dog friendly home features a cozy couch for snuggling and a comfy rug in the living room for relaxing. Our house is just that, a home, and we want your dog to feel like we're an extension of their family!
