“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”
“We left our dog & we came back to her wanting to stay with the other dogs. And she has done nothing but sleep since she got home. Except she acts like a dog in between.”
“Awesome pet sitters and thank you for keeping me informed what’s going on while I was gone. I would definitely use this service again and now I see how my dogs really love you guys. May God bless and continue for you to prosper”
About: Hi, I'm austin-native Amanda! I've had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Bug, since he was a puppy. He's now 8 years old, so I've experienced every stage of a dog's life from energetic puppy days to establishing routines and adapting to changing needs as they get older. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys playing, exploring on walks, or simply relaxing, I'm happy to tailor their care to what makes them happiest. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, shaded fenced dog park at my apartment for safe outdoor time, and during the Texas summer I plan activities around the heat with shorter walks, shade, water breaks, and indoor play when needed. I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about Bug. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, dependable hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home, so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My own dog, Bug, keeps me on a consistent routine, and I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I'm available for daytime care, walks, drop-in visits, and can often accommodate evenings and weekends with advance notice. I have a secure, fenced dog park at my apartment with plenty of shade, so dogs have a safe place to go outside without spending too much time on hot pavement during the Texas summer. There's also plenty of space and toys to play with in my nice airconditioned apartment. :) I know every dog has different routines and needs, so I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, or any other care preferences. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll treat them with the same attention and care I give my own dog, Bug.
“Alison was awesome! She took him on walks, played with him incessantly and sent lots of pictures. Super easy to communicate with and flexible. Our dog Max came home so happy! Would 100% recommend :)”
“Marissa was a wonderful host to my girl. I get frequent updates, pictures, and videos of my pup playing and looking happy as a clam. I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!”
“Great communication and response time. My dog can be picky about being away from me but seemed to have a great time. Would definitely come back for further services!”
“From the moment we met Rachel and Justin we felt so thankful it was them we were leaving our doggo with! They are incredibly genuine and warm and truly care about your pet as their own. They send multiple updates and lots of photos and our dog is always so excited when we pull up to their home. We try and use them every time we leave town if they’re available :-) Thank you!!”
“Alyssa is communicative and accommodating. And, importantly, my dog is always calm and happy when I pick her up, which I take to be a great sign of being well cared for. Would rebook!”
“Sarah watched my weenie dog Doug over the weekend. We did a meet and greet a few days in advance, so I knew Doug would be in good hands. She took the BEST care of him and sent me a picture with how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how caring and sweet she was with him. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”
“Michelle was so great with Bailey! Bailey is 14 years old and Michelle took great care of her while we were away which gave us peace to enjoy our trip. Michelle was quick to respond, which is great because when you’re away from your older dog. (Those with older dogs, you know.) When I picked up Bailey, Michelle already knew Bailey’s personality just from a few days, which was awesome, which made Bailey more comfortable while we were away. If you have an older dog, Michelle is a great choice and will be with your dog all the time. Her dog was great with Bailey too. No issues when meeting and shared space with each other well. Thanks again Michelle!”
“Second time with Maura and Shawn and she was happy as can be! When I dropped her off she was instantly comfortable and remembered them. They shared pics as always and took her on walks and played fetch, her two favorite things to do. Thank you again for taking such good care of Sophie!”
“I moved to Austin with my Golden Sandi June 2025. Tasha is by far the best that I have experienced on Rover. Many on Rover do not disclose up front they have multiple pets being cared for with your pet. Tasha gives the best care I have experienced in Austin to date.”
“I am so amazed how Sunny has quickly taken to Lilia. It was his second time staying with Lilia and he look like he was at home and comfortable. I'm so excited to see how Sunny gravitates to Lilia. I see how he melts in her arms. Thanks Lilia for taking good care of my little man. Oh, and he just loves his playmate, Paisley! See you soon!”
“Bassam took great care of Sunset, my golden retriever. He accepted to take care of him almost last minute. Kept me updated through Sunset’s stay. Also sent pictures of him playing with other doggies. Overall great experience will definitely rebook with him again.”
“Outstanding Care! Finding an exceptional pet sitter for your furry family member is not easy so we felt incredibly fortunate to find Jared. He took care of our Frenchie, Halo, for 17 nights, and despite the initial stress of leaving him for so long, Jared immediately put our minds at ease. He has a calm, confident presence so Halo warmed up to him immediately, even though it normally takes him a bit. Jared was incredibly diligent with all of Halo's specific instructions, including feeding him his fresh food diet, putting on his bug collar before walks, and using his cooling neck gator when the weather was a little too warm. Jared even took it upon himself to eliminate any chance of Halo running out the front door by putting up a puppy gate. Jared’s communication was also outstanding – we received daily and detailed updates that included photos. What truly set him apart was how he handled things when Halo unexpectedly got sick. Not only did Jared take Halo to the vet and later drive back to pick up his medication, he also prepared special meals for him and ensured he got all of his medication right on schedule. On top of the incredible care, Halo had a blast playing with Jared’s dog, Maui! It was clear Halo was not only safe and well-cared for, but genuinely happy, which made our trip worry-free. If you are looking for THE BEST pet sitter, look no further than Jared. He is truly amazing!”

Megan was fantastic with Slim! She was warm, attentive, and incredibly communicative, with plenty of photos and updates that made it easy to relax while I was away. Slim clearly felt comfortable with her and came home happy, relaxed, and completely himself. I felt like he was in excellent hands the entire time. I’d absolutely trust Megan with him again and highly recommend her.
Kara was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two pups. Having a nervous Cattle dog and an accident-prone pitty always makes us anxious to leave them, but Kara was extremely responsive and sent tons of photos and updates, keeping our minds at ease. She stayed on top of complex medication schedules, feedings and was extremely accommodating to their individual needs. She was so good at reading and responding to the dogs- we will certainly be rebooking in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Sunset Valley 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 Sunset Valley.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sunset Valley 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.
