Doggy Day Care in Dawson, Austin

“Such wonderful sitters! My dog had the best time playing with Cassandra and Jason, very grateful for the care they provided, highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”

Heather W.

“Mo had an amazing time today - he's completely passed out! Katherine's communication is excellent, and she provides fantastic updates on all the pet adventures. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a safe, clean, and fun pet sitter.”

“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”

“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”

Priscilla A.

About: With nearly four years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my own childhood pup, I understand the importance of trust and personalized attention when it comes to your pet. Working from home allows me the flexibility to offer care while you’re at work or enjoying time with friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’ve got it covered! I’m experienced with senior dogs, ensuring they get the medications they need on time, as well as sticking to special diets when required. From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I treat each dog like they’re my own, providing the love and attention they deserve. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands! As someone who works from home most days, I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need—including frequent bathroom breaks and daily walks along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake! Living close to the lake and surrounded by Austin’s many parks, I can ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time to run, play, and explore. Since I’m already walking by the lake every day, bringing a furry friend along just adds to the fun! Whether it’s a casual stroll or an energetic play session, your dog will have an adventure-filled day while you’re away. Let me make sure they enjoy Austin’s outdoor beauty to the fullest!! While I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space to comfortably crate your dog if needed, with options in the living room or entryway. Located near Lady Bird Lake and several parks in Austin, your dog will have ample opportunities to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I treat every dog with the same care and love as my own, and I’m committed to respecting your home too. You can trust me to leave your space exactly as I found it, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: My family got their first dog while I was in high school and I have been caring for dogs ever since! I’ve cared for friends dogs in the past and now I have one of my own who is just the sweetest gal. I’d love to eventually get a second dog but for now caring for others seems like the perfect alternative. I do have a preference for smaller breeds but am open to bigger dogs as long as they can be gentle with smaller dogs. I am currently hybrid at a very flexible job and typically go into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. When I go into the office I go in later in the mornings and spend about 1.5 -2 hrs there. The max time I’ll spend at the office at one point is 3 hours but this is not the norm. Other than that time I spend the majority of my time at home and am able to give your pup all my attention and snuggles. My apartment building has a fenced in dog park where I can take your pup to for potty breaks and safe outside playtime. I also have a balcony with a grass patch for any early morning or late night potty breaks. Pet safety is my number one priority so when I’m not home both mine & your pup would be kept in different rooms with cameras watching them to make sure no one is in distress. I’m also open to doing meet and greets at my place before your pet’s stay with me so that you’ll be able to see what type of environment your pet would be in and how our pups interact with each other. My dog is a 1 year old dachshund who just loves other dogs and would make sure your dog feels right at home!

“Neal took really good care of Izzy. He sent pictures during the day that showed she was happy. Izzy can be shy, but she warmed up to him right away.”

About: I’ve had at least 2 dogs ever since I can remember, I recently moved and can’t afford to have one at my new apartment complex so I’m missing some puppy love! I would love to walk and sit with your babies while you are away! I am a teacher so my summer is completely open, meaning I’m free anytime you may need me to visit or walk your pets for you! I am more than happy to visit your home so your pup is in the most comfortable environment for them. After a few visits with your pet I would be open to having them at my home if that’s something that would make you more comfortable. I also have a dog park at my apartment if you would like your dog to socialize with other pups.

“Arianne provided excellent care for Izzy. Izzy is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new individuals, but she connected with Arianne very quickly. This immediately put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend Arianne to anyone seeking a caring and trustworthy individual.”

Michael T.

“The best and took care of Daisy like her own!! She went way above and beyond my expectations and my pup is so happy and cared for when I get home!! Highly recommend”

About: I work from home full-time, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I live in a dog-friendly community with a fully fenced-in dog park just steps away, making it easy to get fresh air and playtime in a safe space. I take my own dog on three walks a day (usually 2 miles each), and I love including other pups in that routine if it fits their needs. I’m available during the week and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable space where they can feel secure and cared for. I live in a dog-friendly building with a fenced-in dog park just steps away, which is perfect for potty breaks and off-leash play. If I ever need to step out briefly, I crate my own dog for safety and structure, and I can do the same for your dog if that's part of their routine or if you'd prefer it.

“Kristi was so flexible and very responsive! Kato enjoyed her energy from the moment he met her and when we picked him up he was a happy and tired pup :) thank you!”

About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!

“Rafa was such a great person & took care of Oliver! We will book again 🫶🏽”

“I really enjoyed having Paco stay with Michele. She was very communicative and brought him on great walks- he even seemed bum to come home! Haha! Will definitely be using Michele anytime I need a sitter or daycare”

Melissa B.

“Ana is such a great sitter! I trust her completely with my pup. She has been my regular sitter for months now and has been perfect. She is flexible, considerate, and most of all takes care of Murphy like her own! I would recommend her to anyone! She’s the best!”

About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I am so very lucky to say that I am a full time animal nanny. ❤️ Following my heart led me to Rover and on this journey I have learned that my gift is helping animals and their families. I have seen first hand how every pet is an individual with something to share and my hope is that my presence can bring you both peace of mind and a deeper connection. I am very happy to help with simple tasks like drop-in visits to scoop the litter, but I have found my most rewarding interactions to be with families that might be struggling to understand or manage their pet's behaviors. I believe every pet deserves patience, curiosity, and respect. Whether it's frogs, dogs, cats, rats, lizards, guinea pigs, snakes, turtles, or fish - everyone deserves to be cared for and loved. I have a fun, loving, and calm presence well suited for nervous pets and I do ask owners please be honest with me about any reactivity or aggression their pet has shown in the past. The more honest we can be the better of a nanny I can be, even if it's just a handful of visits. I am happy to accommodate boarding requests but your pet must be cat friendly, not chew on household items such as shoes, bark excessively, or use the bathroom inside the home. Please note I cannot work with pets that have been acclimated to punishments such as hitting, yelling, threatening postures, or extended periods of isolation. If your pet requires this sort of behavior from their handler I will not be able to assist you. If you are looking to move away from these behaviors and towards more positive reinforcement and playful redirection, I would be happy to speak with you. Please message me with any questions you may have! ❤️ I would be happy to discuss whether I am the right person to care for your babies and do my best to help. Thank you! Now Rovering full time and able to spend all my time giving pets, taking walks, and playing outside. I have a lot of patience for animals who need a little extra attention due to age, anxiety, health, and energy level. Consent first. I respect pets' boundaries and allow animals to approach me on their own terms. Trust is built on mutual respect and I prioritize calmness during inconvenient and stressful situations. I prefer over communication and frequent updates so my clients have clear expectations. I have two older cats who are friendly to dogs. :)
