About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs for over 20 years and now in addition to the family cat and snakes. We are ready to host your dog for a fun visit. As a stay-at-home dad I’m around the majority of the day to keep a good eye on your loved ones. They will be well catered for and loved until you come back to get them! I have a big fenced backyard for them run around and play in. We have a friendly dog (& cat) to keep them extra company during their stay.
About: I grew up loving animals! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages 🐾 I have had friends, family, neighbors and new people in my life trust and rely on me to take care of their fur babies while they’re away. My main goal is to let the animals (and their family) know they are loved and taken care of! I do have a beautiful daughter! I want to make sure you’re aware that if I do any over night stay’s with your fur babies, my daughter will need to join us. She is very gentle and loves animals! Her first word was “cat!” I can be available whenever you need me! My schedule is extremely flexible and I’d be more than happy to do whatever I need to do to take care of your fur family! Let me know what your animals are most comfortable with and I will do everything I can to make them happy and loved! I can bathe them, take them for walks, play with them with their favorite toys, give them their favorite treats and make sure they have their daily essentials!
“Linda and Javi are amazing Rover hosts. Very friendly and easy to work with. Their place is clean and has plenty of space for the dogs to play. They treated mine like one of their own. Highly recommend!”
“Brenda was awesome in taking care of our pup Teddy! We came to her with a last minute request after being unable to find any daycares or sitters available on short notice during a holiday weekend. Brenda’s responses were very quick and she was very flexible in accommodating Teddy, and sent us pictures and updates for his stay. We will totally come to Brenda again if we need to board Teddy while we are in the Glenwood Springs area!”
About: I have taken car of pets my whole life. For family, friends, and neighbors. I’m able to walk, feed or just hang out with your fur children! I currently work full time from home. I have a 2.5 year old who is in daycare all day. My schedule is very flexible, and I can accommodate just about any of your needs! I have a 6 foot fenced in big back yard. I’m able to walk a few times a day. We can also accommodate the more mellow dogs who just want to lounge and get pets.
“Jess's place is off the beaten path and a little hard to find, but it is surrounded by wide-open spaces, which Fred likes. Jess was enthusiastic about Corgies and her Corgi and Fred had a good time.”
“Stephanie goes above and beyond with you furry babies. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day of my GSP. She asked what his exercise routine was and made sure to make him tired for me. She took my GSP hiking and placed an air tag on him so I can track whenever! My GSP was exhausted getting back from daycare and that is not easy to do! Would definitely take him back to Stephanie! Thank you for taking such amazing care of my sweet boy !!”
“Paulette and Charlie were wonderful hosts and were very attentive. They have plenty of room for dogs to run in their very large backyard. Our Bode and their dog Molly hit it off instantly and played well together. Bode had a great time. We’re already planning our next trip(s) to the western slope. We’ll definitely be booking with Paulette and Charlie again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Austin on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Austin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 CO 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 29 sitters in Austin, 67% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
