Dog Boarding in Leander

I have always loved animals and have had dogs since I was a kid. Just recently my beloved Rusty passed at the age of 15 years. He had problems walking at the end, but seemed happy otherwise. I had bought a special walking harness for him which supported his back legs, so he could continue to enjoy getting outside and sniffing around. It was hard to travel anywhere as I didn't want to leave him with just anyone. That's when I ran across Rover.com and later decided to offer my services to others as I'm generally home throughout the day. Relax and enjoy your time away knowing that your furry friends will be treated as a family member...not some number at a kennel.

About this sitter:

I love animals of all types, and I enjoy having them around. My dog Rusty went everywhere with me and was very much part of my family. I will take care of your dog as if he/she were my own.

Why I love dog sitting

I have been a dog owner/lover all my life. Up until the passing of my latest dog Rusty, I've always had a dog.

About my yard

I have a small to average backyard where the dog can be let out as needed.

My experience administering medication

I used to give Rusty medication in his later years, so it's usually not a problem.

Hello, My name is Maggie and I've been a dog mom all my life. We've had everything from poodles to pit bulls. Our own pups have crossed over the rainbow bridge and that left our house a bit quiet, except for when the grandkids come over!

I'm retired now and ready to spend the day at home with your pup. We go on walks, play in my big backyard, watch a movie in the heat of the day, and even squeeze in a jog and a ride in the car. I am available almost every day of the year and many times on very short notice.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon !

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have

Howdy Y’all, we have recently relocated our home and dog boarding business from Northwest Austin to the Georgetown/Liberty Hill area. We now have a 4.5 acre ranch with over 2 acres of fully fenced play yards for the pups! We are happy to keep serving our clients from Austin, Cedar Park and Leander and look forward to meeting many new clients from Georgetown and Liberty Hill!

Ryan is a native Austinite and a Certified Dog Trainer who has owned and dogs my whole life. Ryan understands how to treat our clients in a professional way and believes in running a business based in honesty and integrity.

While at the Longhorn Dog Ranch your dogs are allowed to be dogs... they play, cuddle, and nap while being supervised to ensure safety and happiness. Ryan runs the boarding operation full time so dogs are rarely left for longer than 2 hours. When we leave the ranch for the big city the dogs are always kept inside and carefully organized based on the group to ensure safety and comfort for each and every dog.

We conduct meet and greets with all new clients before booking a first stay. This is a great opportunity to meet you and your dog(s) and for you to see the ranch, ask questions and share important care instructions. We are always happy to answer any questions before scheduling a meet and greet as well, especially concerning special needs or concerns you have.

We offer rate discounts for extended stays (over 7 nights) and for multiple dogs. We recommend confirming pricing with us on any stay that includes dates during a holiday. The price originally shown by Rover may not be accurate as we only charge holiday rate for certain days around the major holidays but Rover defaults this holiday rate to every night of your stay. For example: if you booked for Dec 20th through Dec 28th Rover would generate a quoted price at 8 nights x holiday rate where the actual price would be 4 nights x holiday rate (23rd,24th,25th,26th) and 4 nights x standard rate (20th,21st,22nd,27th)

Thank you for considering our home for your four legged family members, We look forward to meeting you and your sweet pups!

***please note: I had a baby in July of 2018, so there is a toddler in the house now***

***If scheduling works out, I may ask to watch your dog for a few hours after the meet and greet without the owner to ensure the dog will be comfortable in my house. Some dogs temperament changes when the owner is not present and I do not want your doggie stressed out (better to know prior to a potential stay if my house is not a good fit!)***

Hello! I am a college educated professional who loves and cares for pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for other dogs in my home. I only work 20 hours a week in the neighborhood so I am home a lot!! With Covid, I WFH now. My home is a clean 2 story large house with a fenced in back yard in a family neighborhood in Cedar Park. My yard has lots of small trees. There is one other doggie living in the home. He is an 11 year old fixed lab that loves to sleep and eat. He is very calm and submissive. He gets along with all dogs and loves having the extra company. I’ve had him since he was 1 1/2 years old.

Why I love dog sitting

I have loved dogs my entire life. My first pup was given to me when I was in 3rd grade and she was my best friend for 13 years. I have had 3 dogs since then. The center of my universe is the pup that lives with me, Harvey. He is an 11 year old fixed male who loves nap time and treats. He is calm and quiet and gets along with all other dogs. If your dog is playful, Harvey will sometimes play, but his idea of tug-o-war is more bite the toy and lay down :) Harvey is on prescription medications for a car accident he had before I rescued him, so his mobility is slow... Unless he sees a cat... then he can run fast for a very short distance.

The reason I started doing Rover is to help offset the costs of Harvey’s medications and he had a tumor removed at Christmas of 2015. That surgery was expensive. I love dogs and am always taking care of my friends dogs, so why not get paid for it? :) Also Rover has this awesome feature that allows me to automatically donate a percentage of my earnings to the Austin Humane Society, so I do that. So if you book with me, please know that your furry friend will be well loved and taken care of, as well as giving back to other furry friends that aren't as fortunate to be adopted as Harvey, Brock and your pups, yet.

About my yard

It is a large flat fenced in yard with lots of trees and bushes. We have a large patio with lots of shade and is level with the yard so it is easy to get to the yard.

Dogs LOVE our property! With almost 3 acres of fenced in property, dogs can be dogs! They chase each other, and deer, until they are worn out! Our backyard is fenced in and we have a smaller fenced in area near the house for the smaller dogs that we feel more comfortable keeping a closer eye on. We have a total of 4 separate outdoor areas, in case someone prefers their own space. The fence surrounding our property is a combination of 4 foot, 5 foot and 6 foot fence. Please ensure your pup will not jump a 4' fence prior to their stay at our home!

We have been fostering dogs for a local rescue since 2012 and started boarding for the 2013 holiday season. Tim works from home so there is plenty of human interaction throughout the day and dogs are very rarely home alone.

We have lots of repeat guests and we love getting to know each dog’s personality. We have received many reports of dogs going home after their vacay with us and sleeping the entire next day! We love to hear about tired and happy pups!

I have been pet-sitting and house-sitting since I was about 15 years old, right before I could drive. I love all kinds of animals, and when I started, one of my clients had two dachshund dogs, including one that was blind, a cat, and hamsters plus baby-sitting. I have dog sat a lot of my family and friend's dogs, just for fun. This has included watching their dogs for weeks, while they were on vacation. Some of the care I have provided for other dogs was administrating eye drops and giving oral medications. My boyfriend said I should download this app because I am so great with animals & get some income while I do what I love! I will be available full-time now that I quit my office job. I follow instructions well so if you have something extra that is needed, just let me know and should be able to do it!

If your dog stays with me, I have my awesome, and caring boyfriend (of 3 years), who loves animals, to help out as needed!

Hi! Thanks for stoping by! We're very active artists with lots of free time to love your pup(s). They will never be left alone. Most inns and rentals in the Austin area, don't allow dogs (or charge exorbitant fees!) so, rather than leave your pup(s) at home or a kennel why not have them stay nearby with us? You are welcome to visit them but we'll be sending lots of fun pics as they enjoy their visit at Casa Flo! Just, please, don't let them stay in a kennel!

Our beautiful home in the community of Teravista is in the bedroom community of Round Rock yet only 20 minutes from downtown Austin. It is filled with parks and trails to explore on walks. In fact, there's a lovely pond and park right across the street! Very dog-friendly year-round.

Our large dog-safe home is on a very private street where we will care for your pup(s) as our own. Our Dexter and Bodhi are super accommodating and welcome all canine playmates. We will never have more than two guest dogs in our home at any time.

Our rate of $50 per night is for 1 guest for 1 - 24 hour period. For 2 of your pups it's $100. Late pick-ups much beyond 24 hours (+/- 2 hours) are charged as a $40 daycare stay. Most puppies and unhouse-broken guests are $75 each per night. Un-neutered males who are regular markers are not a good fit.

If you are a first time user on Rover ask for my $20 off coupon code!

Just ask for a meet-and-greet! We hope to see you soon!

P.S. 10% of our revenue is donated to the K9s For Warriors Project. They are dedicated to providing service canines to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service post 9/11. Their goal is to give a new leash on life to rescue dogs and military heroes, empowering warriors to return to civilian life with dignity and independence.

Thank you very much for stoping by!

Why I love dog sitting

We are huge dog lovers and stop to chat anytime a pup comes near. We've each been accused of also being a Dog Whisperers. ;)

About my yard

Our property is fenced to provide a secure play yard. There is a large park area with a pond directly across from the house as well as numerous miles of trails throughout the community. On our street no one drives over 20 mph. We use leashes whenever we go for walks through the neighborhood.

My experience administering medication

We are not vets but will gladly give oral and injected meds. We've both self-administered injections with our own pets and will be happy to learn a specific technique if necessary for your and your pup's comfort and well-being.

I am a retired Grand-Mother,who has had a wide variety of pets,while raising my family.Now I have only "Grand-dogs" to enjoy. I enjoy dogs and would treat your pet,as if it were my own. Send your pet to my home where it will be loved, pampered,and safe during the stay. I have a fully fenced back yard,with easy access for your pet. My neighborhood has sidewalks,which makes a safe stroll with your dog. FYI, Because we are retired, we are committed to never leaving pets unattended. We have been pet sitters for four and a half years and added a lot of experience as sitters. We have kept a large variety of pets ( breeds, sizes and ages). Book with me and you will not be disappointed .

We love dogs. We have watched hundreds of dogs and it so much fun to us . We don't usually accept larger dogs but can make exception of your dog is not young and well behaved . We don't have any pets of our own. Our rate is one of the lowest Your dog(s) will be our pet when he/she stays with us. Our house has gated backyard. We all enjoy new pets or returning friends. We look forward to meeting your dog(s) and you. My wife,Sue, works part time and is home most time during the days. My kids are 14 and 16 and will love to play with your dog If you have any questions , please feel free to contact via Rover application. thank you Randy

Our home is shared by myself, my husband Mark, and our precious pup Kirby. I am a retired teacher and Mark is a retired govt. employee..

We have both owned and loved dogs with sappy overindulgence our entire lives. Kirby is a 14-year-old, 23 lb. Bichon-Fence Jumper mix. He loves to play, but tires out more quickly than he used to. He is the perfect host-playmate for your furry family member.

We provide a lovely home with a doggy door, an enclosed fenced pool (accessible to those dogs who swim) and a beautiful, grassy, fenced backyard. It is the perfect place for a nap in the sun or shade, or to chase a ball or a squirrel.

We love all breeds, sizes and ages of dogs and are willing to attend to most medical needs including shots. We have a special place in our hearts for our senior pets Aggressive dogs and energetic puppies are not a good fit for us. We ask that your pet be clean, vaccinated, free from fleas and ticks, and fully house-trained.

.

If you are looking for the BEST VACATION EVER for your beloved pet, the next-best-thing to home, with all of the love and attention they can stand, we are your Sitters!

We are looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog.

Mark and Janie
