About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I can provide regular attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure
“Denise has been wonderful with my puppy Luna for her first week at daycare! She really gets to know the dogs and has a nice yard for them to play in. She has been very communicative and sends pictures throughout the day. Denise was also fairly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I appreciated. Huge thanks to her for helping me out my first week going back to my office for work after getting my pup!”
“Madison was wonderful taking care of Gordi! 💕 She was very sweet, and Gordi was so calm and happy when we came back. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter.”
“Caitlin was amazing! She was very communicative and kept me updated the entire time she was watching our pup Lucy! I could tell that Lucy was very well taken care of and got lots of love during her stay. She sent a ton of pictures and was very flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Will definitely be using her again! Thanks Caitlin!”
“We’re so grateful for Rachele, who took a last minute request to watch our mini Aussie for 3 days. Piper always came home happy and tired, from a fun day of walks and play. I got lots of updates and cute photos. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you, Rachele 🥰”
“Gabriela is an amazing sitter and I highly recommend. She takes such great care of my pup while I’m away at work. She’s extremely accommodating and communicates very well. She’s offered to take my pup to his grooming appointment while I was at work. I can always trust in her to take great care of my pup. She’s even dropped him off to me! She has truly been a life saver!”
“Kristina was so awesome! She sent so many pics and kept me in the loop, I was nervous bc she was my first rover babysitter but she is awesome and I would rebook again!!”
“Mahya accompanied my early schedule and was reliable for doggie day care! By the end of the week Olof knew where he was and was wagging his tail on the walk to her apartment. She send daily pics and he always looked relaxed or happy. Her having a dog made me feel better since Olof does better with company.”
“Erin is attentive, professional, and clearly loves dogs. she follows all instructions carefully and kept us updated throughout the visit. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would highly recommend! Plus she’s our dog’s favorite 😁🐶”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two dogs and currently have a pup of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, getting plenty of exercise, providing extra cuddles, or simply offering a calm place to relax, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve had experience dog sitting for friends and family and always enjoy having an extra furry friend around the house. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’m committed to providing reliable care and regular updates while your dog is with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work a flexible schedule and am able to work from home on Fridays. Because of that flexibility, I can often adjust my schedule to meet a dog’s needs and provide extra supervision when necessary. I’m available for boarding most weekends and can typically accommodate stays from Thursday through Monday. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. Providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Austin
Jennifer did such a wonderful job watching our puppy! This was our first time leaving him at another Rover sitter’s home, and she made us feel completely at ease. She was incredibly attentive and we got several video and pictures from his stay. It was clear that he was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again!
We reached out to Liuba on super short noticed to get our pup watched for the day while we had some family in town. She was quick to respond, incredibly friendly and took great care of our little guy! Our pup is SUPER high energy and needs a lot of attention, and when we picked him up, he was completely tired out and ready to nap. Couldn’t be happier, and we’ll absolutely be back! Thank you! 🙏😊
Freggin' Great!! Olivia was kind, professional, and understanding. We were able to bring Tokyo's travel crate, which helps him nap better, and Olivia was on top of making sure he got those important naps in between play. She was extra awesome managing Tokyo and another rover pup, to make sure they socialized and kept them separate when needed. Super professional and reassured of solid animal management. Send pics during the visit and was a top-notch communicator.
Marissa was great! She took great care of our pup Appa while we were out for the day. He had a lot of fun and was very relaxed when we picked him up. Unfortunately we moved to the other side of town, but if we were still nearby we’d absolutely be returning back! Highly recommend Marissa if you need a pup sitter!
Jarlaith took fantastic care of our pup Appa! Appa is a very high energy mini Aussie doodle and loves CONSTANT stimulation. We left him with Jarlaith all day, and when we picked him up he was as tired as could be, which is all we could hope for! If you’re looking for a new sitter - we highly recommend Jarlaith and we’ll most certainly be back. Major thanks for taking care of our little guy!
Olof comes back nice and tired after a day with Priscilla. He can be a pretty lazy dog sometimes, but when he’s outside he’s super active-with my busy schedule I know he appreciates the extra stimulation to help with his anxiety. Hes happy to see her and drop off/pick up is always easy.
Navya is amazing!!! My Cavapoo Lola fell in love with her and enjoyed every second with her. I had just moved to the area, Navya responded super quickly and was very flexible. I’m so lucky to have her living close by. Lola and I are definitely going to keep using her on a regular bases. I highly recommend her - if your pet needs lots of love and walks Navya is your gal. ❤️
We’re so grateful for Rachele, who took a last minute request to watch our mini Aussie for 3 days. Piper always came home happy and tired, from a fun day of walks and play. I got lots of updates and cute photos. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you, Rachele 🥰
Emily and her home were FANTASTIC!! beautiful house and perfect sized yard for Tokyo. Great neighborhood. She was understanding and accommodating of puppy energy and worked with Tokyo's needs so he'd be settled. Tokyo is still in training and having understanding sitters like Emily make us feel comfortable leaving our fuzzball with sitters! She had a crate for him to use too, as ours was out of commission. We'd love for

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Austin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Austin on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 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 .

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 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.
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 2,775 sitters in Austin, 84% 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.
