“Conner did a great job with my high energy pup. My boy was nervous since he hadn't been separated from me much previous to this trip. Conner is very experienced with dog behavior and took great care of my dog and provided lots of updates! He also took my dog out for a bunch of activities!”
“Pippen had a great time, thank you so much for the smooth communication and updates! Would highly recommend to other dog owners looking for care! Thank you Wan and family!”
“Peppers was in excellent hands with Nancy. We hadn't left him with a pet sitter in such a long time that we were super nervous. Nancy was great with updates, gave him extra attention and was super patient and understanding when he decided to mark on some of her things. We came back to a very healthy and happy boy. We will definitely use Nancy again and recommend her full heartedly. Thanks Nancy!!”
“Great communication and Shiro seemed to have an amazing time with the other pups. Will definitely rebook! Thank you for all the photos sent during our time away”
“Nancy took care of our energetic puppy during a holiday trip. The experience was nothing less than superb! We were updated frequently with pictures and videos. I was assured that our puppy was safe and enjoying himself. Thank you!!!!”
“Juan is the absolute best. He and Odee were fabulous companions for Looey while we were away. Looey made himself at home and Juan helped him work out some separation anxiety. Loo even went for a car ride and to the park. Juan is a great human and a kind soul, he would be a great sitter for any of your fur babies!! Thank you Juan we appreciate you so much!”
“Boarding our dog with Erin gave us a ton of peace of mind during holiday travel, and she was so great about sharing regular updates and photos of our dog’s stay. I was actually worried our dog wouldn’t want to come home after having the time of his life with Erin 🤣”
“Our maltipoo, Boba, just came back home with us and he seemed happy. Shalini was very accommodating to Boba's needs. I would definitely recommend Shalini and I will definitely use her service again. Thank you, Shalini and family! You guys are awesome!”
“I appreciated the thoughtful updates on how our pup was doing and the photos she sent throughout his stay. He seemed very well-loved and cared for. Thank you, Angela!”
“Nicole took great care of Barley. He was welcomed in a warm home and I got daily updates with pictures and videos. Barley had fun and we were able to enjoy our getaway even more.”
“Jesci was full of love and care for my pet Jelly. Jelly had fun playing with her kids and joining her family on fun adventures such as hiking and swimming. Thanks Jesci and her family! Jelly can’t wait to come back.”
“Ai took care of our dog for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our dog absolutely loved staying with her and her cats. Since he had never interacted with cats before, Ai introduced them gradually. She also has a separate space for the cats, which helped make the introductions safe and stress-free. She took our dog on regular walks, kept us updated with pictures, and was communicative and incredibly flexible the entire time. We always felt confident that he was in great hands. 10/10—highly recommend Ai to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Joyce was wonderful with Penny and took great care to follow her routine and meet her needs. She was easy to work with, asked thoughtful questions, and made us feel confident that Penny was in great hands. Before the stay, Joyce allowed us over for a meet and greet, and we were impressed by her clean home and spacious yard for Penny to play in. We're so grateful for the excellent care she gave our precious pup and can't wait for Penny to stay with Joyce again!”
“Gen took great care of my dogs. They have different personalities and sometimes take time to settle in a new place. They had a great time at Gen's place and Gen send us lovely pictures.”
“Christel is the most amazing pet whisperer for our dogs. They love playing at Christel’s house and come home happier and more skills. Lucky to have Christel care for our dogs.”
“I am so happy that I found Melanie to board my two little dogs! She kept in touch with me to let me know how they were doing and sent pictures which of course put my mind at ease. I felt totally comfortable that they were getting great care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 WA 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.
