“We were lucky to find Ms Holly and family. She was quick to respond to messages and questions. Very kind and loving 🥰 family. Our pup was well taken care of and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed watching her. Will definitely look forward to working with them again.”
“For only being my second time leaving my 5 month old Saint Bernard out of my sight, I couldn't have been more comfortable and reassured that she would be taking care of and having a great time! Would highly suggest Dondee, and look forward to having cinnamon stay with her in the future!”
About: We have compassion for senior animals as we have cared for our own beloved pets. We enjoy dogs and cats alike. We love going on walks with our dog and playing fetch. One of us works full-time from home and the other works 50% of the time at home. Our weekends are usually free with events close to home. Our dog travels with us often. Daily walks, play-time, many cuddles on the couch. Scheduled feeding, daily grooming I.e. brushing. Any other needs your pet may have while in our care.
“Our Chihuahua mixed breed dog is not an easy dog to care for. He can be loud and hard to connect with for many people. Nic and Kjersten gave Jarvis a sense of safety and were responsive to his needs. Jarvis loved his stay with the Andersons. They will be our “go to” home when we need to go out of town.”
About: I've taken care of and owned many types of animals in my life including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Mini horse, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, ferrets, birds, and rabbits. I love all animals and nature! I currently am working a full time job 7am-3pm Monday - Fridays and want to see where rover takes me as I enjoy all animals I have 2 dogs one is 14lb and the other 22lbs. They are spoiled and love to play and will keep your pup company. I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during boardings (when I'm offering that service) if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.
About: I have a 11 month old puppy that I have started training and taking care of since 8 weeks old. I also talk him on regular walks, and bathe him. My oldest dog is almost 3 and I have also have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I have watched and walked other dogs for friends and family overnight and for extended periods. I could pet care in the summer almost every day, since I am a teacher. Some things may come up, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would prefer to care for pets in my home during the day to make the pet more comfortable. I am able to play with, feed, bathe, walk, etc. I have a fenced in backyard! I would love if you are ok with my 11 month aussiedoodle came with on walks or house sitting.
About: With two dogs of my own, I’ve had the experience of raising and taking care of dogs of all ages! Over three years of experience. I am a teacher. During the school year, I am available Friday through Sunday nights, but during the summer I am available 7 days a week! I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood with two high energy Labs to play with your dog! Great area for walks and playing outside.
About: We've taken care of various breeds of dogs our whole lives and each dog is a family member that lives their best life daily! We are able to care of dogs of any age and ensure that each dog is loved and taken care of. We work from home so there is unlimited play time, walks and car rides along with trips to the park and frequent potty breaks too. We have a fenced in backyard and take time to play throughout the day. Dogs are allowed on the furniture so they can be comfortable and areas are closed off where dogs are not allowed.
About: I've been dog sitting on and off since my 20's. Most were co-workers and family. I walked, bathed, brushed and given medicine, both orally and topical as required. I'm currently retired and can dog sit 7 days a week with advance notice. I can also day board as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6pm. If different hours are needed I can be flexible. I have a very large home where your dog can roam freely inside. However, I don't have a fenced in yard. I do have a secure tie line attached to my home. Your dog will never be left outside by themselves as I will be there with them.
“Bailey was so kind and loving. She kept us updated about our Red the entire time and she sent photos! Red was well cared for and had great company with Bailey’s own fur baby, Sussy! Can’t wait to have Bailey watch our guy again!”
About: I live it the country between Hayfield and Kasson and love pets. We have a friendly cat named Pickles who spends most of his time lounging in a sunny spot. Our teenage kids are busy with school, spots and jobs. When they are around- They love pets and do some pet sitting of their own. We lost our 17 year old dog, Dudley last year and I’m missing a furry companion during the day. I’d love to meet your Pet family and spend time with them! I’m home most days and pretty flexible. Ideally I’d like to provide regular doggie daycare for the same family as needed. But for now hoping to find a few furry friends to share my work days with. I will care for your dog in my home, while I am working. I have a very flexible schedule so am very available to let them out and give the attention. I often work while sitting on the couch with my computer on my lap. Your pal can sit right next to me.
About: I have babysat or taken care of dogs/animals ever since I was a child. To this day I will take in pets that are hurt or homeless until they are rehabilitated or find a good home. I have experience with all ages and stages of canine. Experience training dogs, nurturing them back to health, birthing, caring for seniors and special needs, bottle feeding babies, and much more. Let me know what your special needs are! I homestead and care for livestock on our farm. I have a pretty open availability. My largest chores here are completed early morning and late evening, giving me opportune time to be available during the days for checking in on, playing with and feeding, walking or housing your pup. I do not crate animals unless specified by owner. They will hang out with my family and I like they are our own if they are staying with us. I will follow and respect your rules for your pet in your homes and mine. We can work together with any special needs. I have an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits, doggie day sitting or to go on walks with your incredible pup. I will follow and abide by the rules you have in your home for pup. During our meet and greet we will go over all expectations, needs and rules for your doggie.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Austin on Rover is $31.08 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 .

Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 MN 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.
