“Rachel and her husband have been amazing! This was the longest we've ever left Otis, and he is a senior dog with back/leg issues. They handled him so kindly, and provided updates very regularly with pictures. I felt very comfortable with being out of the country knowing he was being taken care of and loved on. When I picked him up they had even given him a bath, and her husband helped load his belongings in the car.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was a wildlife rehabilitator for Arkansas Game and Fish, so I learned early on how to nurse injured and sick animals back to health with patience and compassion. From bottle feeding baby animals to helping with their recovery, I developed a deep respect for all creatures. In 2020, I began working with my stepmom at a petting zoo, where I had the amazing opportunity to train under a veterinarian. There, I learned how to administer medication, care for injuries, and provide emergency treatments like fluids and splints. This hands on experience gave me confidence and knowledge to handle all kinds of situations. I also worked at a busy doggy daycare, caring for up to 40 dogs daily and providing overnight care for boarders. Managing so many furry friends taught me how to stay calm, organized, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. It also led me to truly be able to read body language and when to insert myself to prevent any unwanted interactions. I love creating a fun, safe environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. Now I am a personal protection/working dog trainer in training! It has taught me so much about how a dog’s brain works and how to best attack any situation with confidence! Overall, my experience combines a lifelong love of animals with professional training and real world skills; so I can promise that your pet will be in great hands! Right now, I am almost fully available for pet care! I work M-F 8:30-3:30, but your pet will get my full attention while I am with them! Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or last minute needs, I've got the time and energy to give them all of the love, play, and care they deserve! When I am caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely; whether that means feeding schedules, walks, meds, cuddles, or quiet time. I'm super respectful of your space and I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away!
“Ashtin was amazing with my dog Snooki! She sent updates throughout the day and made sure she was comfortable! I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone”
“Madison and Isaiaih did a great job sitting my dog . I enjoyed the videos and pictures they shared with me where I could see my dog happy and well taken care of . I will hire them again should I ever need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”
“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”
“This was my first time using Rover and It was great!! Ashley was a big help on giving me tips on how to improve and advance my training with my pup! She updated me on his progress and his behavior throughout his stay.”
“Renee was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Lilo, while I was out of the country getting married. From the moment we met, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lilo in her care. Throughout the stay, Renee was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and messages almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Lilo was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. This was easily the best sitter experience I have ever had through Rover. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes since I was twelve years old. I have a dog of my own who is my best friend and I understand the feeling of leaving them in another person’s care. I will treat your dog with the love and friendliness as I do my own. Weekends are the best for me to take care of your animal, as I have a full time job. I am free in the morning until 6:30 and in the evenings starting at 5:30 I have a 6yo hound mix who is the friendliest boy to all animals. He would love to keep your dog company. I have a safe area outside to walk the dogs on a leash as well as a fenced in back yard for some fun!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Austin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Austin on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 180 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Austin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Austin sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Austin landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Austin home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Austin.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Austin sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
