About: Hey there! I’m Christina, your friendly neighborhood dog-sitter extraordinaire! 🐾✨ I provide paws-itively delightful dog-sitting services for small dog breeds (8-20lbs) at a price that won’t make your wallet whimper. Based in the vibrant city of Austin, TX, I’m all ears to share the scoop on how I can pamper your pooch! Don’t be shy—give me a call or shoot me a text! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make tails wag! 🐶💕 I currently work remote so I’m home 24/7, my schedule is extremely flexible so I’ll be able to give your pup plenty of attention, walks and play time. I provide photo updates as well to keep you in the loop at all times! I have all necessary items to care for your pet, leashes, harnesses, dog bowls, crates and toys. I live in an apartment but I take our pups on consistent walks and depending on the dog hikes on the weekends. I have a small maltipoo and a 9 yr old son that adores these little pups. They’ll have the greatest time!
“This was our first stay using this app and Valda was amazing. Before I booked with her she was open to meet and was great with her communication and response time. My pup and hers seemed to get along at first meet so it made me more comfortable. She made sure to ask all the right questions about my pups schedule and feeding. She sent pictures and kept in touch the entire time! I 100% recommend her and will be using her the next time we need anything!”
About: I have been a dog companion and animal lover since before I can remember. Born into a home with pets of all kinds, I eventually became a cat and dog mom on my own. I was the proud dog mom of a sweet soul called Mable until March of 26; losing her was pretty ruff. I am not ready to adopt again (yet), but I miss the energy of a dog in my life. I work from home, so dog sitting seems like a win win. If you'd like your fuzz baby to be welcomed into a calm, loving home where they'll be treated like family, look no further! Whether your dog is energetic and playful, prefers leisurely sniffing adventures, or simply wants a cozy spot to nap after a few belly rubs, I'll tailor their day to what makes them happiest. I have plenty of time to chill with your pup; your fuzz baby will have companionship, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. A comfy air conditioned home and a beautiful fenced yard await! There's a sprinkler or pool for doggos allowed to enjoy a dip, and a trailhead to Walnut Creek close by, so walks in the forest are possible. Neighborhood walks are of course available as well. With permission and familiarity, daytrips are also an option. I've always been a "bring the dog" gal, and that may or may not apply to your dog, as mutually agreed upon. Safety is my highest priority, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best bud is having a wonderful time. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else because they are your family. My goal is simple: for your dog to be excited to come back every time—and for you to have complete peace of mind. I feel that dogs know where they are comfortable; they seem to be comfortable with me, and my boyfriend is pretty much a dog whisperer. Friends often joke that dogs seem to find me before I find them, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Volunteer coordinators have told me I have "a quiet connection" with dogs, and I think that's true. If your dog is feeling it, they can enjoy a safe, comfortable environment where they will be well cared for. I had a very active dog in this home and yard and she was well contained, in spite of her intense desire to get herself a squirrel. The yard opens atop a cliff overlooking a creek and is fenced and dog safe, but the pool does serve as part of the fence line. I think a dog would struggle to exit the yard, but you know your dog and would need to make the final call.
“Fernanda was great watching our pup! She sent pictures and updated us on how our pups first day of daycare with her went. We are so happy to have met Fernanda and can’t wait to rebook again!”
About: I’ve cared for many different dog breeds and other pets since I was a little kid. I am a very reliable and responsible sitter who will treat your dog like my very own. My work schedule allows for a lot of flexibility during the summers because I work in education. Therefore, I will have a lot of time to dedicate to caring for your pet(s). I have a fenced in yard and live in a small neighborhood with a safe walking area and many outside trails. I will ensure plenty of play time, walks, and cuddles as needed to entertain your pets.
About: I am CVA certified, I worked as a vet tech and kennel tech, and have lived with many different animals my whole life. Working at the animal hospital has given me the opportunity to work with and understand animals of all different ages and backgrounds. My husband and I are currently working full time at home so we have plenty of time to watch, walk and play with your fur babies! My husband and I live in a 4 bedroom house with a spacious back yard, we have a designated dog area where the dogs can hangout and play with toys as well as a designated dog room for dogs who value their alone time and space!
“Yujie is an incredibly responsible dog sitter. He made sure to take time to meet Monty beforehand, which helped us confirm they were a great fit and left us with a good feeling. During the visit, he took wonderful care of Monty and sent us pictures throughout the day! Monty clearly loved being with him and is eager to visit again soon.”
“Dianelis was great with my dog. She sent multiple photos and videos. She took him on a walk and he had a great time playing with her dog. She was great at communicating and I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from German shepherds to yorkies since I was 8 years old! Whether it was my neighbor’s, grandmother’s or my own, I’ve always had such love for furry babies. I’m currently working a flexible hybrid job, that allows me to take my dog, Ralph on many walks every day and stay home with him! I’m open to sharing that time to help out other pet parents who aren’t available to do the same. Although I live in an apartment, we live in a beautiful grassy area near University Boulevard with a dog park onsite. In my home is of course my friendly dog, Ralph, who would love a friend to play with! I’m available to have your dog out all day in my home or crated. I’m also available to care for your fur baby in your home - just let me know which you prefer!
“I booked a day care service with Benita so her and my dog can get to know each other. The day went very good and Benita sent me a few pictures of my dog while relaxing at her house. I have an older dog that has arthritis issues in hind legs so this visit was also to see if Benita can assist my dog up/down a few steps outside using a support sling.”
“Phenomenal! I needed to do a 14 mile hike 2 2.4 hours away from home and Homa, living near the hiking destination, took great care of my Rikki while I hiked! Even when my hike took an unexpected couple extra hours, she was so accommodating in making sure Rikki was taken care of until I could return. Would certainly rebook with her again when I come back to finish the other trails! She sent several pictures, and even some super cute ones of him outside!”
“My senior pup Lexie stayed with Valerie and Juniper for daycare in advance of a longer boarding stay. Valerie was very attentive to Lexie’s nervousness and tried to make her as comfy as possible. I appreciate Valerie sending updates and photos throughout the day. Lexie will be back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dessau
We're so happy with how everything went! Our dogs clearly had a blast too. He sent us videos and updates throughout the day, actively played with both dogs, and gave them so much attention, you could really feel that he cares about animals, not just watching the clock. When we picked them up, they were tired and happy, and passed out almost right away — the best sign that they had an amazing day. Will definitely book with him again and highly recommend!
This is the second time that I asked Christina to watch Milo for the weekend during the day. She's been such a great sitter - sending updates, making sure Milo was drinking water, and taking him out on walks. Would definitely recommend having Christina watch your furry friends!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dessau commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,721 sitters in Dessau, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
