“Came down to Texas for the business meeting. Asha is sweat and friendly, kept on posting pictures of Brie while the entire meeting so I was able to focus on work. Thank you so much for all kindness!”
3. Lily B.
“Lily is amazing!!! I was a little nervous to have someone care for my senior dog at first. But Lily was so so sweet and even sent me updates/ pictures. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was so friendly!”
4. Susan O.
“Susan was awesome! We were so grateful to find someone who had experience and a heart for our senior dog. It's clear that she is a dog lover and was ready to do what it takes to take care of our old guy. We definitely recommend her!”
5. Melissa M.
“Melissa was AMAZING! I can’t say enough how happy we were with her. Our dog, Arya, got along well with her sweet pup, Mika. Melissa sent me daily updates - once in the morning and once in the evening - letting me know how Arya was doing. Melissa went above and beyond to make sure Arya was comfortable during her stay. She took Arya on daily walks with Mika, and I loved hearing how the two pups had plenty of play time. She’s become a quick favorite. I know Arya already misses her, and we can’t wait to book with Melissa again!”
6. Assenett A.
“Assenett and her family were everything I could’ve wanted and more to care for my baby while I was gone! When I did the meet and greet, I instantly fell in love with the family and felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them for 12 days. My dog is very attached to me and not used to staying with other people, but they were so nurturing and sweet that he instantly bonded with their daughter and everyone else in the family. I received multiple pictures of every feeding, every walk, and snuggles and playtime every single day! As excited as my dog was to see me when I picked him up, you could tell that he loved his time with them, and was sad to leave. I am so excited to have found someone so wonderful to take care of Rocky next time I need some help!”
7. Chris N.
“Chris's calm and confident skills helped our dog, who is typically aggressive toward men and strangers, immediately relax and fit right in. He was so flexible and accommodating throughout the process. It didn't take long to realize Chris had so much experience and that our dog was in good hands. Upon our return, Ginny was happy, enthusiastic and in good spirits. Thank you so much, Chris! We were so grateful that our dog stayed with you.”
8. Lisa B.
“Lisa and Jeff took great care of our senior dog. He made himself comfortable in their home right away, and he came home happy and relaxed. We would absolutely work with Lisa and Jeff again in the future. Thank you so much!”
9. Manuela Diaz H.
“Manuela was amazing!! She was so understanding of the anxiety someone will feel leaving their pup with a new person and took whatever steps to make me feel more comfortable. We met both virtually and in-person (to introduce Moose and her dog, Morgan) before I dropped him off for the weekend. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend of him playing and cuddling with Morgan. She also was very flexible and helpful when I needed to rearrange my plans due to a travel issue. I'd give 6 stars if I could :)”

“Bryana was wonderful to Penny! I appreciated how accommodating she was with care instructions and scheduling pick up and drop off times. Would book her again for my future trips!”

“Paulina goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my cat Tsuki. I always love all the photos she sends during their time together and it brings me great joy to see Paulina is just as obsessed with her as I am! It’s great to know that Tsuki is constantly spoiled and showered with love during her stay. Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
15. Catherine E.
“This was Tigger's first time staying with Catherine & Nelson. They were amazing, They made us feel very comfortable leaving Tigger in there care. Tigger was so relaxed and at home when we picked him up, we will definitely leave Tigger with them again!! ??”
16. Ryan U.
“I’m really glad that Ryan took care of Mia while I was away. You can clearly see that she truly loves animals and, to me, that’s a big deal. She is also super communicative — lots of updates, pictures, and videos were shared throughout her stay that made my day a lot brighter. I heavily recommend Ryan if you’re the type of person that takes into consideration how much attention, love, and care will be shared with your little friend!”
17. Patches B.
“Patches was the absolute best watching our Gomi for 2 weeks! She was gracious to allow Gomi to stay a little earlier after I realized there was a timing mistake. She kept us updated regularly and had no problem taking care of our very anxious boy. Gomi also isn’t usually the type to hang around other dogs so I was pleasantly surprised to see he was doing just fine with the other dogs boarded or in residence ! Definitely will be taking Gomi back to patches again!!”
18. Madison M.
“Madison and Pierce were great boarding host for Rebel. Madison provided frequent updates and plenty of pictures which was comforting. Madison and Pierce have a nice home with a gated yard and Rebel seemed very comfortable staying there and being with them over the long weekend.”
19. Tyler E.
“Tyler was amazing with our special dog, Lefty. Lefty can be pretty particular with people - he doesn’t do great with other dogs or people, but warmed up to Tyler right away. We also appreciated the constant updates and pictures. Highly recommend Tyler if you need someone to take good care of your pup!”
20. Regan & James R.
“Regan and James were wonderful! They were very communicative, sent many photos, and seemed to genuinely adore my pup. I will definitely be booking with them again ?”

Why do dog owners love Austin?
The capital of Texas, the 11th most populous city in the United States, and the home of keeping things weird, Austin is a unique and vibrant city that attracts people from all over the country. Home to the Texas State Capitol, the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium, it's got plenty of great landmarks to enjoy. And with tons of great parks, amazing Tex-Mex and Texas barbecue restaurants - plus over 1,000 operating food trucks - and an eclectic live music scene, Austin is a destination city not just to visit but to live in, especially for dog owners and pet parents. This city of 931,830 people regularly shows up on lists of the most dog-friendly cities in America and features great dog boarding options like Rover available throughout the city.
Why choose Rover dog boarding in Austin?
In-home dog boarding in Austin is a great option for most dog owners. With Rover, instead of going to an unknown large facility, your dog stays in the comfort of your dog sitter's home. Your dog gets to spend one-on-one time with a loving sitter who'll treat them like part of their family.
What are some great parks in Austin for dog walks?
Austin is absolutely full of great dog parks. With at least 16 parks to visit with your pup, there are acres and acres of green space and off-leash areas to explore and enjoy. Parks like the 13-acre Red Bud Isle feature a wide expanse of open area where your dog can play with other dogs and swim off leash. The park at Mills Pond, accessible from the north end of Wells Port Drive or off Bratton Lane, offers a chance to take your dog for a lovely stroll and watch the locals do some fishing in the early morning or evening. Also, be sure to check out Auditorium Shores (between the former Palmer Auditorium and the shores of Lady Bird Lake), and not just for the doggy showers after your pup takes a dip. The park is also a place for outdoor concerts, and you can even find a memorial statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
What Austin neighborhoods are good for dogs and pet parents?
There's so much to enjoy in Austin, including a quirky collection of neighborhoods, each with their own appeal. Take Central Austin neighborhood Hyde Park, which dates back to 1891 and is considered Austin's first suburb. You're more likely to find cute bakeries - including the Eater.com-approved Quack's 43rd St Bakery, home to massive cookies and incredible cakes - and nice neighbors than noisy bars or loud nightlife there. Same for Barton Hills, which might just be the best place in Austin to raise a dog. Bordering Lady Bird Lake, the neighborhood features Zilker Metropolitan Park and tons of lush green spaces to spend time out in nature with your pup. Barton Creek runs through the whole neighborhood, lending a feeling of always being out in nature. You can check out an authentic corner of Austin in Clarksville. West of downtown Austin, right near the always entertaining 6th Street and bordering the Johnson Creek Greenbelt, it's home to Treaty Oak, a state landmark as well as the first Whole Foods Market, originally opened in 1979 as the Clarksville Natural Grocery.
