About: I've been a pet owner for 16 years, and I will treat your pup as I would my own - with lots of cuddles, treats and playtime.. I am patient and am able to work with your dog to make him or her feel comfortable. I work from home 99% of the time, which means your dog will have constant companionship and a quiet, safe environment. I can easily accommodate regular potty breaks in my fully fenced in backyard, supervision during my workday, and plenty of desk-side cuddles. I love to work with geriatric and senior dogs. Having had two senior dogs of my own, I am familiar with the gentle care and consideration needed for these more fragile pups. Whether your pup needs slow and steady mobility support or just a quiet place to nap while I work, they will be in safe hands here. I work from home most days with time to take breaks outside or to give pets. I try to spend as much time as I can with my boarders and limit time away. For boarding/daycare : I have a fully enclosed privacy fence and spacious back yard. I can crate as you wish - I have crates medium and large dogs, and you are welcome to bring your own kennel or beds. For Pet/housesitting services: The goal with pet care at a client's home is to maintain routine and consistency to ease any anxiety or confusion pets may feel without their fur-parents. Outside and play time are absolutes.
About: All of my life I have worked with pets and livestock, big and small. From my first dog Samson the Dachshund to Lilly the Horse and now my four fur babies I have with my husband. We have had great days playing, cuddling, bathing and so much more. And some stressful nights through thunderstorms and sickness. I love all of my many pets and I can't wait to meet yours! I am almost always available and happy to set up a routine! I am also willing to work most Holidays. I keep my schedule updated weekly. Before I take care of any pet I do have a list of questions to ask. So that I know the level of care and what you would like for me to do in case of emergencies. Everyone has a different routine and I would like to maintain that for your pet while I am are looking after them.
About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From hamsters, cats, dogs (daschund to Great Danes), to our chickens! I’m a stay at home momma so I’m available to take care of your fur babies and welcome them in to my home with care at all times! I’m home a majority of all days! After waking up, I take my kiddos to school and I go to the gym where I teach senior classes for 45-75 minutes a day Monday through Friday. After I will come back home. I like to spend my time outside in the yard. My yard is not fenced in, we have 40 acres and a pond as well that my heeler swims in but daschund wouldn’t step foot in. I do have two crates I have in my home, as well as a outdoor kennel. We are located on a dead end road and only two other houses are located out here so not much traffic!
“Cailey is great, my husky puppy goes to her during the week while I’m at work and I am very happy with the care she has given! Daily pictures, willing to work on continued puppy training while she’s there, and gives me the peace of mind knowing my girl is safe while I’m away all day.”
“Gail was very accommodating and little 12-lb Sheldon had a great time, no problem getting along with her great Dane. Highly recommend! If she noticed we were in the wrong time zone she never mentioned it, all my stated times were an hour off! (Sorry Gail!)”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cat for almost 5 years, and I’ve raised my own dogs since they were puppies, so I’m very familiar with their needs at every stage of life. I also have experience working as a dog walker, where I built strong relationships with many regular clients. This helped me develop reliability, patience, and a good understanding of different dog personalities and behaviors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, basic training, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, except for Saturday. Please message me if you have any concerns. I’ll try my best to get the time works. I have fenced yard to keep your baby safely. I will be at home and take care of them. If you need a single safety room for you baby please let me know
“Mandy was great! She was flexible and accommodating. She was so good with our dog and sent updates throughout the day, assuring us all was going well. We will continue using Mandy for all of our needs with our dog.”
“First time taking my 5 month old dachshund to daycare and it was a great experience! She got lots of love and attention. They even sent a picture!! I highly recommend booking with Samantha & Michael!”
“Madi did an excellent job providing care for Roxy. She gives alot updates and a lot of photos and I can tell that Roxy had a lot of fun with her and her family.”
About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
About: I've always been a dog lover! Love a super clingy couch potatoe more than anything but high energy is also welcomed as i have an all in one doggo myself. I'm a calm, easy going dog owner and your pets will be loved and in good hands. I am currently a stay at home mom and spend most of my days at home. My dog gets let out 4-5 times a day and fed and water refreshed twice and I could put your babies on his schedule or I can tweak my day if there are any specific needs for your fur baby! I completely understand that not all dogs are the same.. mine is very complicated in his own way but we are there for him when he needs us to be and that applies to your babies as well! I will take extra time to pay attention to the details in your instructions on how to care for your babies because things go more smoothly that way! Not to mention their care being my top priority when visiting your home and especially caring for them in my own home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Austin
I had to find a dog sitter on short notice for my Doberman, and Amanda was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible with pickup and drop-off times, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was how her and her family made my dog feel comfortable and at home, despite being attached to me all the time. I appreciated the regular updates and photos during the stay, which reassured me that my pup was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone in need of a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Austin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
