“Cassandra and Jason took good care of Zamin and sent updates. The pictures are so adorable… everything went smoothly. I had requested a same day care with them as I made a last minute trip to Austin and needed a place for my pup for a couple of hours. They were really quick to respond and accepted, the booking process went smoothly. Thank you so much!”

“This is the second time Fozzie was with Kevin. I got pictures and updates during the visit and and well thought out breakdown of his activities when I picked him up. I would recommend him to everyone”


“Chris is always delightful and kind. Our little dogs Molly and Frankie love him and come home so happy. To find such caring professional like Chris is an absolute Blessing as both my daughter and I love very busy lives and have found such mental peace since meeting Chris and his team. The location is delightful and safe and every time the door opens, smiling faces greet us and we know our babies have been happy and well cared for. Thank you Chris for this gift of peace of mind’”


“Claudia was an amazing dog sitter for Nafas! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and responsible throughout the entire stay. She genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Nafas had a great time with her and also enjoyed playing with her dog—they got along so well! I felt completely at ease knowing Nafas was in such good hands. Highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”


About: I am the ultimate dog lover who will love on your baby!! I have had dogs my whole life, and never lived without one. We have two dogs currently, one is an XL Newfoundland dog who needs special care (hips), so I am well equipped to work with any type of dog. We have a massive fenced in backyard for playtime, and your pup will be included in our 2 pack walks per day. My husband and I work from home, so your pup will rarely be left alone during the day. I work from home full-time, so I am around the house for company and walks throughout the day. Our dogs typically get 2-3 walks a day plus playtime in our massive backyard! I have two dogs to keep yours company, so he/she will never feel alone or bored. I will treat your pup as if he/she were mine… lots of TLC and belly scratches!

“Jose is absolutely amazing with dogs. His dogs are very friendly and sweet and play so well with my puppies. I just moved to Austin and was hopeful to find someone I could trust with my furbabies and Joes exceeded my hopes. He is wonderful!”


“Ana was very friendly and sent consistent photo updates during daycare for Kolache! She is very accommodating and wants to make sure both owner and pet are comfortable.”


“Aisling was amazing with my puppy Milo! She sent me over 15 pictures with updates throughout his day and was very responsive and communicative! This was my first time ever using Rover and i’m absolutely blown away, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Aisling for any of your pet sitting needs!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence. I currently work from home, so I am immediately available to take them on walks, etc. I understand the importance of routine in our lives. I have quick access to lovely dog-friendly spaces downtown. I can accommodate your dog’s crate with ease. My lovely building is filled with great pets.

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.

“Van was very accommodating to our early hour drop offs and gave us lots of pictures/updates about our pups while we were at work. I felt safe leaving our babies in her care, I would definitely book again!”


“Jared had our dog in daycare for a day and he did a fantastic job. He went out of his way to walk down to our apartment to pick her up and drop her off for us which made it very convenient for us. I highly recommend Jared for taking care of your pup! :)”


About: Over the past 10 years, I’ve dog sat for many kinds of loving dogs ranging from small to big. I love to stay active and making sure your pet is getting the top supreme care it deserves! I’m currently working from home so my days are extremely flexible. I can accommodate more time for your dog which means more playtime and walks. I pay close attention to their needs and provide them with the right amount of exercise and love. Every dog is different so it’s important to understand what needs are necessary! I work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. Depending if your dog needs more time with me, I can arrange to do this! Every dog is different so I make sure your dog gets the best care based on his/her needs. Whether it’s more cuddles, playtime, walks, or alone time, I make sure to pay close attention and understand your doggies personality.

“First time using Rover… worked out great. After meeting Asha, I was very confident I had chosen the right dogsitter for my dog Brandi. Brandi is a senior dog and can get nervous if there is too much commotion. Asha provided a very calm space for Brandi. I was able to enjoy my day in Austin not worried about Brandi. Thanks to Asha and Rover”


About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets since I was a kid. I am timely, responsible, and detail oriented. I understand that pets are another member of the family and treat them as such. Growing up with cats and dogs has made me comfortable and confident in my ability to care for all kinds of family pets. I am the current cat dad of Shadow and dog dad to a 10 month old Golden Retriever named Nala with my fiancé. I’m currently an at home dog and cat dad meaning I have lots of availability on weekdays and can better fit into you and your pet’s schedules. I am accepting new clients, please feel free to reach out! If you have multiple pets I’m happy to work out a rate that works for you! 😊 I feel comfortable performing a variety of services including walking, feeding, crating, playing, and providing medication to your furry friend. I am very diligent about following instructions and making sure your pet is taken care of the best of my ability!

About: TLDR: Goober is a 1.5 year old goober who is depressed when he doesn't get to play with friends. Sitter has 30+ year of extensive care experience with large and small animals. There is a 6 year old in the home but the times are blocked off that he won't be there because most dogs don't love younger kids. Hi! I'm Rhiannon and this is Goober. Goober is a 1.5 akita/pyrenees/super mutt mix who is playful, happy, eager to please and very energetic. He loves being our family dog but he misses playing with dog friends and would love a dog sleepover every once in a while. He's friendly, easily corrected by more alpha dogs, and can't stop/won't stop (till nap time in his crate). I'm Rhiannon, and I have so much animal care experience it's not even funny. I owned a horse for 30 years! (We just said goodbye to him this year at 33) and have cared for all aged animals for decades. I had a special needs pug and I used to rover all the time other special needs dogs when she was a live. We decided to get back to some Rovering so that Goober could show his true Southern hospitality to other active and playful dogs when their parents work long hours or are out of town. We've had wonderful times with our Rover sitters and wanted to provide affordable and quality care when we were available. This is for fun for us! We would be looking for other active and playful dogs to come over and enjoy our fenced in backyard, long walks in the nature preserve next to our neighborhood, South Walnut Creek Hike and Bike and Boggy Creek Greenbelt. Dogs are fed three times a day (Goober is on medication that has to be given three times a day) and have a relatively stable routine of eating, playing, walking, napping, sunning, eating, playing, napping, walking. While I have extensive skills in all types of animal care, we are looking only for energetic, friendly and playful friends and require a meet and greet before we commit to caring for your pup. I can give subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, medication, basic first aid if necessary, but again, looking for those fun playful idiots, er, goobers I mean. Our availability is up for when the child that occupies the home won't be there since most dogs don't LOVE younger kids (he's six) but if your dog is comfortable with kids and we've sat for you before, we are open to sitting longer than our schedule shows. But I'm very cautious with all dogs and kids since MOST dogs find being around children stressful (that being said, PLEASE leash your dogs when you are around children in public parks and playgrounds and always supervise kids and dogs :) I work from home so the doggie will rarely be home alone and if I do have to go somewhere, I'll schedule them to nap while I'm gone in between play sessions. Please ensure your dog is crate trained- I have a crate so no need to bring. Kongs will be given whenever I leave so it actually is an enrichment time for them. But I rarely leave lol! And if I do I often bring them for a car ride (to pick up or drop off my son from school). The safety of the humans are the utmost priority for our household, that is why we require a meet and greet. But we do hope to build long term sitting relationships with folks because we do really love dogs and Goober does get lonely. It is essential that you trust me to take the best care of your dog, and I think you'll get to know me quickly that the dogs truly have "the life" at my house. The environment is dog safe, with a fenced in back yard, and the house is kid/dog proof.

“Yulmu had really good time with Lindsey and his new friends! I received many pictures and video of Yulmu during daycare. Pick up and drop off time was very flexible. Will definitely book again.”

She is punctual and responsible.”

His face lights up every time I drop off my babies.”


Rhiannon B.
“The Pug Palace is the best! I have an 11 year old black pug named Silvie and whenever she stays with Rhiannon I know she is getting the very best care. Not only is the space well suited for older pugs, there is a ramp for the dogs to get in and out of the house! She takes daily walks with Silvie and sends photo updates of other daily activities. I highly recommend Rhiannon to watch your dog.”

Jose is the awesome! He takes such great care of my dog Ford—I totally trust him. He’s super attentive, sends me video updates (which I love!), and even works on basic training with the dogs. Ford is always happy to see him, and I can tell he’s in great hands. Highly recommend!

Daniela was great! She’s got a huge fenced backyard space and her backyard pup and my dog instantly hit it off! She sent me tons of photos and updates that made me feel happy to see my fur baby having a great time! She also has a pool ball pit for the dogs! How fun. Thank you again :)
