About: With 30+ years as both an owner and caretaker, I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, so I'm comfortable handling whatever your pup's quirks or needs might be. I am especially good with senior dogs who need extra snuggles. Because I work from home, dogs here are almost never alone: we're roaming the house and yard together most of the day, with plenty of outdoor time built in naturally rather than scheduled bathroom breaks. Furniture, couch cuddles, and a genuinely cozy home are all part of the package. My own dog, Birdy, is a big, social 7-year-old who loves catch and tug-of-war, and having a resident dog who's socialized helps new dogs settle in fast. Most guest dogs are playing with him within the first day. I always set up a short meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone starts off comfortable. I typically accept two dogs and will only add a third on a case by case basis. This happens when a client needs service and it overlaps with someone else coming or going. Also, If they are a bonded pair that I've worked with before and had an excellent prior experience with. You can reach out to me and we can make a safe decision together. What sets me apart is simple: your dog becomes part of a real, active household, not just a guest in a kennel. If you're looking for a place where your dog gets treated like family with a comfy home, a big backyard, and a friendly canine companion, I'd love to meet you both! Pet care isn't squeezed into my routine, it is my routine. I work from home, so dogs are woven into my entire day: mornings outside, walks, playtime, quiet afternoons while I work nearby, and evenings winding down together on the sofa. There's no juggling a job outside the home or rushing back for breaks; I'm simply here, mostly all day, every day, with time built in naturally for whatever the dogs need. Your dog's safety is my top priority. My yard is large and fully fenced with a 4-foot chain link perimeter, so there's secure room to run and play. I work from home, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and almost always have someone nearby. I require all dogs to be spayed/neutered with current shot records, and I don't board dogs with aggression issues. No exceptions for the safety of everyone. Every new dog starts with a short meet-and-greet with my own dog, Birdy, so we can make sure it's a good match before any stay begins. My home is smoke-free and set up to feel comfortable and familiar, not clinical. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and treated like part of the family from day one.
“Rachel was so comfortable and nurturing with my pup. She knows a lot about dogs and knew what to do with my little guy. He was well cared for there and got lots of snuggles. I felt comfortable leaving him there in her hands. She was great to work with.”
“I’ve booked with Rachel and Justin multiple times and they are fantastic! They treat my dog like family and always keep me updated with texts and pictures throughout the day. My dog is always excited when we pull up to their house, which gives me total peace of mind knowing she’s in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Whitney has now watched my dog twice and he has really warmed up and gotten very comfortable in her care. She continually provides updates and pictures on how he is doing and what they are doing. She even took him to visit the Austin Botanical Gardens this time which he looked like he thoroughly enjoyed! I will continue to use Whitney's services for my dog's care and highly recommend her!”
“Kati and Brian and their son Logan and pup Louie are the perfect choice for us and our girl Brandi! She loves her new friends and our weeklong stay went perfectly! They are now our number one go to choice for care for our pup! Brandi is excited and wags her tail everytime we go to their home and we know she’s in great hands!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dripping Springs
Wow where do I start? Lacey is absolutely incredible. We boarded our Shih Tzu with Lacey while we were in dripping Springs celebrating our own wedding! After we made our booking, Lacey reached out and immediately began to inquiring about our Luca. She was very responsive and gave us peace of mind going into that weekend. On the day of our Wedding, Lacey came and picked up Luca with no issue right on time. Now I didn’t have my phone on me for majority of the night but to my surprise Lacey had been updating us constantly about Luca and how he was doing with pictures and messages! It was truly so amazing knowing our boy was receiving the best boarding experience ever! He went on walks and laid with her watching TV and even fell asleep in their bed. Lacey also dropped off our dog at our Airbnb the next morning and we couldn’t thank her enough. If you will be in Dripping Springs visiting or celebrating an event and you have your dog, please look to see if Lacey is available, she is the best. Thank you again Lacey!

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Dripping Springs can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Dripping Springs home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Dripping Springs.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dripping Springs. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dripping Springs 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
