“So grateful for Stephanie! Always takes care of babies & sends daily photos and updates! We’ve had her watch our dogs several times & has become our trusted sitter!”


“Lynne was an outstanding Dogsitter for my two pups while I had to leave town for the weekend. She sent me updates with photos about them daily & showed so much love towards both of my dogs. Her own dogs got along so well with mine, the entire experience made me feel so much more comfortable leaving as I could be certain they were in such good hands with Lynne. I will most definitely be using Lynne whenever I am in of a sitter going forward! Highly recommend!”

“Paige and Harry are phenomenal. Our little Ruby was not feeling great and we were about to be out of the country for 2 weeks. They were so reassuring and took such good care of her while we were away. She came home feeling healthy and so much more herself. She loved playing with their dog Doak too. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi, I'm austin-native Amanda! I've had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Bug, since he was a puppy. He's now 8 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life from energetic puppy days to establishing routines and adapting to changing needs as they get older. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys playing, exploring on walks, or simply relaxing, I'm happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, shaded fenced dog park at my apartment for safe outdoor time, and during the Texas summer I plan activities around the heat with shorter walks, shade, water breaks, and indoor play when needed. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about Bug. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, dependable hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My own dog, Bug, keeps me on a consistent routine, and I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I'm available for daytime care, walks, drop-in visits, and can often accommodate evenings and weekends with advance notice. I have a secure, fenced dog park at my apartment with plenty of shade, so dogs have a safe place to go outside without spending too much time on hot pavement during the Texas summer. There's also plenty of space and toys to play with in my nice airconditioned apartment. :) I know every dog has different routines and needs, so I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, or any other care preferences. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dog, Bug.
“Tiffany and her family took such amazing care of my dog! 🐾 I received tons of updates and photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was getting lots of love, attention, and cuddles (especially from her daughters, who were so sweet with him). 💕 I’m incredibly grateful for how welcomed and cared for he was in their home. I would absolutely book with Tiffany again!”


“Danielle took excellent care of my dog Conan. She spent a lot of time with her on walks, kept me updated with photos, and was very kind and responsive. I would board with Danielle again any time!”

“I have an older dog with some medical issues and anxiety, and Shannon did a fantastic job with him. He was sitting on her lap after just a few hours! She also kept us updated about his condition throughout the stay along with sending pictures!”

“I went with Kate specifically because her profile mentioned she has owned Chihuahuas, and knowing that she understands the breed made a big difference for me. I'm so glad I went with my gut on that decision. She kept me updated with several photos throughout the stay, took Jelly Bean on multiple walks, and her dog Milo was incredibly calm and easygoing, which is exactly the kind of environment I wanted for my pup. Her prices are very reasonable, she's attentive and communicative, and just an all-around wonderful person. I've already booked her again for next week and won't hesitate to keep coming back. Highly recommend!”

“Nick took great care of our dog Riley. He was very responsive, sent us daily photos, and aside from making sure she was comfortable and happy, Nick gave her medication 2x’s a day. We are really glad we found Nick and we will definitely use his services again!”

“Kimberley and Donut are the perfect balance to Barclay’s curiosity and endless energy. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and napped for most of the day when he returned. The updates put me at ease and it was fun to hear how my pup was doing.”

“Jared was wonderful with my 6month old puppy! He was so loving to him. He sent me lots of photos and updates which made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with him. Teddy had a great time and I will definitely use Jared again!”

“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!”

“Maura & Shawn were great. They kept us regularly updated with photos of Brody and took great care of a high maintenance old dog. We’ll definitely be using them again.”

“Allison was great with Churro. She took him on lots of walks, spent time playing with him, and clearly gave him a lot of attention and care. She also sent frequent pictures throughout the day, which made us feel really good knowing he was in great hands. I’d absolutely book with Allison again for Churro. Thank you so much, Allison!”

“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Nino. I truly appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and videos, they gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and exercise. Nino was clearly well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter.”

“Isaiah was wonderful and my girl seemed to really enjoy her stay! He was flexible with some of my scheduling snafus, super friendly and seems to genuinely enjoy having her as company. I look forward to using Isaiah in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Austin
Absolutely amazing experience! They took such great care of my babies, Saki and Kimchi, over the weekend! They were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive from the start. Both of my dogs came home so happy and well cared for! It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️

Liuba was fantastic with my pup! It was my first time using Rover in a new city, and she made the entire experience seamless. She sent daily photo updates, communicated promptly, and was wonderfully firm and patient with his reactivity. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in capable hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Liuba!

Lincoln was amazing with my girls! Quick responses, in depth updates for my OCD dog mom self, and kept them active every day. Especially when he had 3 total dogs with him during their stay! Lots of work haha. I appreciate it and will definitely be booking with him again in the future.

Jason was a fantastic caregiver for my dog Parker! After only meeting him for a few minutes he had instantly and instinctually understood Parker’s personality and did so much to make him not only comfortable but also to have a ton of fun. They went on adventures, car rides, walks, and lots of play time with Jason’s own sweetheart beagles who also bonded well with Parker. I travel through Austin often and Jason will be our go to every time now. Thank you Jason!

Anna was a pleasure to work with! Very prompt and responsive. Kept great care of my dog. Could tell he loved hanging out with her too as he was sad we were leaving. She kept me up to date with pictures and updates the entire time. Kept him active and happy. Will absolutely be working with her again in the future!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Austin is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 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.
There are 4,018 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Austin. About 91% of Austin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
