“Sam was great with our dog and so easy to work with. He made sure our pup got all the attention and care he needed and then some—our pup was sad to have to leave. I appreciated the consistent updates and photos. We will be booking with him again.”
“My sweet but high anxiety little Maltipoo was so happy staying with Lilia. Lilia has a great yard for little dogs and was very accommodating to our drop off and pick up times. Loved the pictures she sent us too. It was a great experience and we will definitely use her again!”
“Ashley took wonderful care of our Maltipoo Waffles while we were on vacation for two weeks. She provided photo updates several times a day and he looked well taken care of - plenty of park visits, walks, play, love and cuddles. Thank you so much! We would definitely have them take care of Waffles again whenever we need a sitter and can highly recommend them :)”
“Amy was great and my dog Baxter had so much fun with Amy and Coco! She was very responsive and did a great job. Would highly recommend her and will use her again to watch my dog!”
“Amazing experience!! They were so sweet to us and our baby Jack. They sent multiple updates a day with pictures and were quick to respond when any questions came up! We felt confident that Jack was getting the love and care he needed while we were away. We will absolutely be rebooking for our next trip!!”
“Jeff and his wife took good care of Marley! He stayed with them for 3 nights and we received daily updates via msgs, pictures, and videos. He’s a little quirky and we appreciate them rolling with it :) Thank you for giving him a safe and loving “vacation.””
“Lincoln was wonderful with Rusty. Rusty looked happy and very well cared for. Lincoln kept me updated with pictures, videos and texts while Rusty was with him, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lincoln to watch your furry family member!”
“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care & attention Aine gave to Kylie. My baby settled in in no time. Aine was so welcoming that both Kylie & I were made to feel very comfortable immediately. She was kind enough to keep me posted with photos & updates which made our separation much easier. I would highly recommend her as an excellent candidate to care for your pet.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I was quite anxious leaving my dog with anyone especially a stranger. Much to my delight Asha was wonderful. She brought Louie into her home and treated him as one of the family. Lots of pictures, great communication, and an understanding of just what Louie needed. I’ve already booked a second care time with her.”
“This is the third time Mo and her husband have taken care of Molkas. He comes back very happy, and it’s clear they take great care of him. They are also flexible and attentive. We’ll definitely leave Molkas with them again.”
“Cheyanne was a great sitter! You can tell she loves dogs with all of her heart from the moment you meet her. My dog has a pretty… mischievous personality and she took it all in stride :)”
“My dogs loved being over at Rose’s place again for the week! They got to spend time with her own pup Sunshine and a couple of other dogs she was watching too. One of my dogs didn’t even want to leave. Rose was even sweet enough to give them both a bath on their last day so they were smelling fresh going home.”
“Tinkerbell had an awesome stay with Ashley. Ashley provided daily updates as well as pictures on how Tinkerbell was doing. I will definitely recommend Ashely to others and will use her again in the future.”
“jessica and Wilson always make us feel confident that they will take care of our dog Izzy. There were thunderstorms and she gets very nervous but they sent us a photo of them comforting her. Their dog Winnie is very friendly and provides a great opportunity for play for Izzy and their backyard is perfect for that. Highly recommend!”
About: Your pup and I will have so much fun! I’m very attentive and love caring for animals, especially dogs. I have fostered numerous dogs and have years of experience pet sitting/walking for family, friends, and clients here on Rover. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, there is no better excuse to get outside during the day than to take a cute pup for a walk. I love going on walks, staying active or just lounging outdoors and would love to bring your pups along with me! 🥰 I’ve been told what sets me apart is my willingness to go the extra mile. I am more than happy to do additional chores around your home when dog-sitting & I promise you will find your home cleaner than you left it when you return. I have experience with reactive/aggressive dogs, seniors, hearing-impaired dogs, and puppies. I am available to care for your pet anytime during the weekdays with little to no notice. Please reach out as I am accepting new clients! Able to pet-sit most weekends as well. I am happy to walk your dog or care for him/her in your home or neighborhood. My home is also open for pet care. I have a female kitten named Wiggles who gets along very well with dogs.
“Joel is great! Squid seemed to have a fun time with Joel and came back happy. Joel was also very communicative and shared such cute pictures. He was also very flexible”
“Ziggy loved his stay Amane & her husband. They took him on lots of walks, and adventures in town. There happened to be another dog there and Ziggy seemed to enjoy having another dog to play with. Amane sent photos & detailed notes each day, which we appreciated. Ziggy was so calm when we picked him up. I think he truly enjoyed his stay! I highly recommend Amane and will book again.”
“Claire and Jacky took such great care of our dog and we had an amazing experience with them! They were incredibly responsive, very caring, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We especially loved that they offered both drop-off and pick-up, which made things so much easier for our family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, thoughtful sitters!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Austin
Lesly did an outstanding job watching my dog, Lionheart. She was available beforehand for a meet-up to ensure each of our dogs would both get along together. Her dog, Kash, was extremely friendly during the park meet-up, drop-off, and pick-up stages of the process. She provided pictures and videos throughout Lionheart's stay to keep my mind at ease. Since my dog can be a "picky" eater, I provided feeding instructions, and it appeared the instructions were well followed. When my flight in was slightly delayed and I had to adjust the pickup time, Lesly was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely recommend her services and would book again!
Denise was great with our pup. My husband did the drop off and gave no instructions and she knew exactly what to do. She was great with daily photos and feedback. I wasn’t sure how our dog would do with multiple dogs, but since she keeps smaller dogs, it seems like that was a great match.
Our dog stayed with Katie for almost 3 weeks as we were abroad! It was our first time using Rover so we were of course a bit nervous, but Katie was great at making us feel assured and sending updates / pictures of our sweet girl. We could tell our pup was well loved and taken care of the whole time. We look forward to using Katie’s dog boarding services in the future for a wonderful peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Austin is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,901 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Austin can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Austin home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
