“The most amazing dog sitter!! Mariana and her mom took such great care of my Fin while I was gone for 3 weeks. I received constant pictures and they even bathed her before I picked her up🤍”
“Stevie was very reliable, professional & kind. She provided a wonderful environment for my pup, Daisy. My pup had so much fun and I knew that she was well-taken care of. Will definitely be back!”
“Amanda was great and super friendly. My dog left with a huge smile and slept all day when I brought him home. She also sent me pictures of my dog the whole time I was gone so I wouldn't worry. Thank You Amanda! I will definitely book again in the future.”
“Luca absolutely loves Desmond and Robyn! We’ve used them a handful of times and Luca comes back so exhausted from all of the playing. The updates are amazing and communication incredible. We’ll continue bringing Luca back thank you!!”
“Marc was great! We met at a dog park before the booking to see how my two dogs got along with sweet Floof. You can tell Marc really loves dogs. He sent lots of photos each day I was gone and it was clear my two pups had a great time! Thanks Marc! Will book again!”
“Stefanie was amazing! Had my original sitter cancel last minute and she swooped in and saved the day. Although she was already sitting multiple pets, she made time and space for my cat. It was my cat’s first time being sat by a stranger so he was extremely shy but she was so understanding, accommodating, and patient with him. By the end of my cats stay, he was so comfortable and happy to be with her. Throughout his stay, Stefanie also sent multiple pictures and updates to ease my nerves about my cat. Will definitely be booking with Stefanie again and would recommend her to anyone. Truly someone who loves your pets!”
“Yesenia is a great dog sitter. She was so nice, accommodating, and very compassionate when watching our little buddy. He came back so happy that it felt as if he was on his personal vacation. She’s a dope sitter that will keep you up to date and make sure your little one is happy and safe. I have her on rebook on our next trip. Book her NOW!”
“From the moment we met Rachel and Justin we felt so thankful it was them we were leaving our doggo with! They are incredibly genuine and warm and truly care about your pet as their own. They send multiple updates and lots of photos and our dog is always so excited when we pull up to their home. We try and use them every time we leave town if they’re available :-) Thank you!!”
“AAA+..Highly recommend if you want your furry pal watched by someone truely caring, attenative and most importantly trustworthy. Sarah accommodated my boy Bleu and I's needs (last minute booking), sent me pics and updates throughout the trip and my pup came back happier than ever. Would definitely go with Sarah again!”
“Tiffany went above and beyond for my corgi dog. This was the 1st time Miss Willie stayed at another home besides ours in the 1yr of her life. We set up a meet and greet just to be sure the vibes were vibing. Tiffany was very patient and attentive. She is a dog mama so it was also important that Willie got along with her dog too. Willie unfortunately picked up a bug and the day after we left town I got a message of Willie throwing up and having GI issues. Tiffany helped adjust Willies feeding and diet to help with the GI issues and was easy to coordinate Door Dash delivery of the special diet. Tiffany was super responsive in communicating Willies status each day via texts and pictures. She has a private doggy park at her place that she took Willie out to explore and run around each day. She even washed Willie on the day of pick up! Thank you Tiffany for taking care of Miss Willie like she is your own!”
“Our Great Danes had the best time with both Youna and Nick! They texted us pictures and kept us us very in the loop. Our pups are not the easiest to take care of and they did a great job. ☺️ we will for sure be using them more in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rui with our two dogs. This has been an overall great experience for her services. She was overly communicative and gave daily updates on the dogs. Would use her again in the future.”
“Christina & John were excellent hosts for our dog, Maya! I think she had so much fun she won’t want to come home! They are super friendly and have a nice home. You can tell they really care for all dogs and enjoyed taking care of our Maya. We would love to use them again one day!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care & attention Aine gave to Kylie. My baby settled in in no time. Aine was so welcoming that both Kylie & I were made to feel very comfortable immediately. She was kind enough to keep me posted with photos & updates which made our separation much easier. I would highly recommend her as an excellent candidate to care for your pet.”
“Derik was amazing with our dogs! It was our first time using a pet sitter and we couldn't be happier! He sent a daily updates with pictures and tons of details about their days. He made us feel so comfortable and we would definitely use him again. Abu and Coco had a great time there!”
“Marisa is fantastic and very sweet! Sends lots of pics and updates, which gives us a good piece if mind! :) our puppy always comes back happy when we pick her up. 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.
“Sarah was a great communicator the entire time and proactive about all logistical things! She was super flexible when I had to add an additional day of care last minute and checked in about anything she had a question about while my dog was with her. Keanu came home happy and well-cared for :)”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colton
Alyssa took such great care of our Murphy! He’s a very shy dog, but he warmed up to her so quickly. She sent us updates and photos throughout his stay, and he looked so happy. It’s such a good feeling knowing Murphy is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely book with her again!
Mariana and her family always take such amazing care of my dog Ronnie! Whenever I pick her up she always has a fun new accessory (this time she got bows and a cute Halloween bandanna 🥹) I also love the photo updates they always send me of her while I’m gone. Highly recommend Mariana if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter for your pet!
Stefanie is awesome! Her home is warm and inviting and you can tell she truly cares for animals. She creates an amazing environment and is very attentive. I really appreciated how responsive she was and how kept me up to date with how things were going. I was able to relax and know that my doggy was in good hands. We are definitely coming back to see Stefanie!
I am pretty sure I have found my designated pup sitter! For the past couple years, I had been lucky enough to have a go-to sitter for my 2 pitties who knew exactly how to take care of them until they recently moved away. Came across Jon's profile....met him....saw the house and his lil fur babies and felt a little better but still nervouse. Maaaan....Jon did wonders for my 2 doofuses! Got video & pic updates, constant communication, his pups loved my guys and at the end....my 2 idiots were tired out which is a win for me! ABSOLUTELY will be booking with Jon again!
Yesenia has once again come through for us in a pinch. She is amazing with our pooch. She’s so attentive and loving. She sends daily texts updates and pictures. Our dog is so comfortable with Yesenia. This visit included no other dogs, so our dog felt extra special. We are thrilled to have found Yesenia on Rover and we’ll continue to use her services for sure!
Hailey was amazing with Elmore while I was overseas on a trip! He absolutely loved her and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. She was incredibly communicative prior to and throughout the stay, kept me updated and was also so helpful and flexible when we had a few logistic things to figure out along the way. It made being away from him so much easier, and she made sure my place was clean and tidy for when I got home from my trip! I’d absolutely recommend Hailey and will definitely be booking her again!!
Dolly loves staying with Emma, Fletcher and their pack! I received lots of cute pictures and videos, which always give me such peace of mind when I'm traveling. Dolly had the best time playing with their dogs Ivan, Scout and Thor, she looked so happy in all the photos which made me so happy!
This was my first time leaving my dog with someone we didn’t know and it could not have been a better experience. Michelle was very proactive sending photos and videos, and I could tell from day one that my girl felt right at home with her. Rumi was incredibly well taken care of and I won’t hesitate to book care with Michelle again.
Marc took excellent care of my 2 pups! They really enjoyed both snuggling indoors on the couch, and being able to explore and play in the large backyard. We were updated daily with photos and felt very comfortable with them in his care. Thank you soooo much! We would love to board them with you in the future.

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 Colton 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 Colton.
Tip: 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 Colton 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 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.
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.
