“Marissa is amazing and took such wonderful care of our little Uchi! It was our first time having someone outside of our family and friends care for him and we could not have been happier. Lots of pictures and updates and overall an amazing, seamless experience!”
“I really appreciated all of Lilia's dedication and attention to my Penelope. I was very nervous as this was the first time that I left Penelope with a Rover sitter, however Lila did great in calming my nerves. She sent me many pictures of Penelope throughout my trip, provided other updates and was able to adjust when I needed to extend the stay an extra day. Penelope also did great with the other dogs and got to enjoy lots of playtime! I would recommend Lilia to anyone that is looking for a caring and thoughtful sitter. I already know that me and Penelope will become regulars :)”
“I haven’t used Rover in a while as I have a regular sitter now, but the rare time they are unavailable I was quite nervous coming back on Rover again. I’m SO glad I found Sam on here! He was so responsive, made sure to provide me consistent updates and followed my instructions perfectly. Petey (my dog) absolutely enjoyed staying with Sam, I could tell - so I will be using his services again.”
“This was my first time using Rui with our two dogs. This has been an overall great experience for her services. She was overly communicative and gave daily updates on the dogs. Would use her again in the future.”
“Morgan was a great sitter (boarded at her place) for our dog! Especially with it being her first time with her. Great communication. Very appreciative of having her meet first. Our dog seemed to be very comfortable with her!”
“We had an amazing experience having Madeline board our dog while we were out of the country for thanksgiving week. She was so friendly and responsive throughout his stay; it was reassuring to get regular updates and know our dog was in great hands and was being kept busy. I actually think our dog was a little bummed to be leaving her when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“We needed Rover for a last minute trip and could not have been more happy with Christine! She was super flexible and sent plenty of pictures. You could tell she is an animal lover and our dogs had plenty of love while we were away. Thank you!”
“My little pup is so happy when she gets there, and so bummed when she leaves 😆. Erika is great, especially for the long trips have to make! 100% recommend!”
“Jen is the best! She takes such good care of our little senior dog. She knows so much about dogs and is great about personalizing their needs that make them happy. Thanks again, Jen!”
“G is amazing!!! This was the first time someone has kept my baby since we moved here and she was amazing! I’ve finally found Griffins permanent sitter. Book her! You won’t regret it!”

“Amy is a great sitter. We’ve used her a couple of times for longish trips of about a week each time. She sends cute pictures and Cooper always has a blast with the other dogs.”
“Sarah is a responsive and kind sitter who is really good with dogs! She came for a meet and greet with her dog to make sure I felt comfortable upfront and was accommodating spitting sit dates with my neighbor.”
“Sarah is great! She was communicative and took great care of my dog. I got daily updates and photos of them playing, lounging and snuggling. Knowing my dog was safe and being cared for while I was away was great peace of mind.”
“Aimee is great as always! Coda enjoyed his stay with her and loved the apples and banana treats that he was given 😊 Thank you Aimee for giving him a great weekend!”
“Barbara always provides the best services out of any dog sitter I have used in Austin. Multiple photo updates through out the day and very good with dogs. Charlie now gets very excited to see her anytime I need to drop him off which is a good feeling as a pet owner”

Amazing sitter! Very attentive and communicative! Always sending updates and pictures. My Frenchie like all frenchies, is high maintenance. Clean face folds daily, wipe paws daily, wipe butt after potty. Often times I get Fry back from a sitters and his face folds/paws are raw etc. Fry was is PERFECT health after spending a week with Anna. Truly impressive!!!
The team is amazing, and chili loves to be at Bassam / John / Adam’s house. They sent us so many good photos throughout the day and it literally looks like chili is having a blast in all of them. We really appreciate how easy and seamless it is to have chili stay with this crew!! He can’t wait to come back

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Austin on Rover is $46.55 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,857 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.
97% 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 TX 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.
