“Cheyanne was great! She touched base with me at least twice a day. It’s been awhile since I’ve left Copper with someone we did not know, but she put me at ease. I also love that she only sits 1 dog at a time. Would definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Zeus had an amazing time here! They were very accommodating with my last minute boarding need and kept me up to date on everything going on with my dog!”
“Lola spent another fun visit full of cuddles at Zoe’s, the whole family is fantastic and loves taking care of furry ones, and I’m very grateful for all the regular updates and pictures and the peace of mind that Lola is well taken care of whenever needed. Thank you!!! Super recommended”
“Lincoln was soooo great with my anxious chi-mix Winston. He’s so flexible and responsive. He really cares that your pet feels comfortable and that you feel comfortable leaving your baby. Don’t hesitate to book! Winston LOVED staying with Lincoln.”
“Sarah took excellent care of our Jackson while we were away. Her communication was great, and she sent the kids photos of our pup when they were missing him. We will definitely use Sarah again, the next time we need a sitter!”
“I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.”
“Erika has been amazing, flexible with my travel changes, and Mila looks like she's having so much fun in the pics and videos that Erika shares during the boarding. Have already used her again.”
“I am such a fan! It’s always great relief when these guys are free to dog sit. I know my pup is getting the exercise and attention she needs and plenty of time out in fresh air.”
“Rose was great! She’s super friendly and has everything your pet needs for an overnight stay. My Beaux had so much fun in her beautiful fully gated yard and lovely home. Also, her booking was super simple and very fast!!! She responds within 10-20 mins at the longest and always sends photos of your fur baby during the stay. I look forward to booking her again for my Beaux.”
“I've had Ryan dog sit for Ponyo several times now! He is really quick with communicating, always friendly and respectful, and just a great responsible dog owner and dog sitter. Ponyo is always sad when we leave Ryan's house because he has a blast over there. They go on daily walks and play together or with other dogs and Ryan's dog Fritz is a sweetheart too! Highly recommend!”
“Cassandra and Jason are wonderful! Very communicative, quick to respond, and very sweet with my older pup. They were able to handle his glaucoma eye drops regimen with no issues. They shared so many cute photos! I feel very good about leaving my sweet pup with them and know I will reach out to them soon for another stay!”
“Ozzie was in such a good mood when we left! I could tell she was happy to be there. He was also patient with me because I was a little helicopter (sorry). I'm definitely going to use his services again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8, whether it was my own dog, one in the neighborhood, or in shelters and I love it! I just graduated college and am hoping to do some pet care while I look for a job, because of this my schedule is very open! I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs in my home and in others’ homes. The safety and happiness of a dog in my care will always be my top priority, and I know that looks a little different for each dog parent!
“Lily was great with my cat and kept me updated the whole time with lots of photos and messages, which I really appreciated. It gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My cat was very happy and comfortable with her and I could tell he was well taken care of. Would definitely book with her again!”

We just moved to Austin and were looking for a good new sitter for our dog, Benji. Benji can be a shy pup, and during the meet-and-greet, I could tell Jeff, Lisa, and Whiskey would be a great fit for Benj. They are really kind and warm and Benji seemed to like them almost right away. I received plenty of photos and updates on how he was doing, which made me feel more comfortable too. Benji seemed to have a wonderful time with them. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Abi! It was clear how much she genuinely cared for Poppy and treated her like she was her own. Abi was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when our plans changed here and there, which made everything so much easier for us. Knowing Poppy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind. We would absolutely trust Abi with Poppy again and highly recommend her!
Lily was amazing!!! I left my pup Niko with her for almost a week and she sent updates every single day and pictures while I was on vacation. She was so communicative and responsive. Honestly she’s the best! Highly recommend her!! I’ll definitely be rebooking lily in the future ❤️❤️
Denise is THE BEST! She treats my pup like family and he always comes back home so happy! He loves playing with the other dogs in her backyard and coming in for one of her home made treats after. She always finds time to cuddle my dog after a long day of playing. We love Denise!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Austin on Rover is $45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,981 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
