“Denise has been wonderful with my puppy Luna for her first week at daycare! She really gets to know the dogs and has a nice yard for them to play in. She has been very communicative and sends pictures throughout the day. Denise was also fairly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I appreciated. Huge thanks to her for helping me out my first week going back to my office for work after getting my pup!”

“My dog Tuxx had a wonderful stay for daycare. Rachel and Justine were super kind, welcoming and even took adorable photos of Tuxx. Thank you for taking care of him - would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“Emma was amazing with my dog and her dog, Beau, is the sweetest boy ever! As a first time Rover user, my anxiety quickly melted away after meeting Emma and introducing our dogs. I knew I was leaving my boy in the best possible hands and would not hesitate to recommend Emma!!”

About: Looking for a calm, loving home instead of a crowded kennel? That's exactly what we provide. We're Rachel and Max, a French American couple who genuinely love dogs. We intentionally welcome only 1 or 2 dogs at a time so every pup receives individual attention, affection, and plenty of supervised play. As Rover sitters, we provide a safe, calm, and personalized home for every guest. Our home has a fully fenced backyard, daily walks, lots of cuddle time, and frequent photo updates so you'll always know how your dog is doing. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, never like just another booking We both work from home, with one of us home full time and the other part time, so your pet is rarely alone and always has company. Walks, meals, playtime, and breaks fit easily into our daily routine, and we’re used to giving dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We provide a calm, stress-free, and relaxed environment where pets feel safe and at home. We follow their usual routines for meals, walks, playtime, and rest, and adapt as much as possible to each dog’s energy level and personality. Whether a pet needs active time outside or just quiet companionship, we keep things easy, consistent, and comfortable, with lots of attention and care throughout the day.
“Amanda and Jared were awesome hosts they took care of all my dogs needs and he had a wonderful play date. I would recommend them at any moment you are in need while in Austin. Thank you Amanda and Jared”


“They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home! Extra special thanks to Katherine because our flight coming back was delayed several times and she was so nice being flexible with having to change pickup time. Would definitely recommended!!”


“Honey felt right at home, and I was able to relax and know she was happy and safe. I appreciated the updates throughout the day. I will definitely be happy to use Sam for her dog sitting services in the future!”

“Bassam was absolutely wonderful with Lady Guienvere. It’s so refreshing to find a sitter who is just as enchanted with my fur baby as I am. He was attentive, gentle, and clearly cared deeply for her comfort and happiness. I truly appreciated the care he showed my little one, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”

“My dog Otto had a fun day with Kristen and her family. Kristen has a nice fenced in yard for dogs and her house is across the street from a park where they spent lots of time. Kristen also has lots of dog toys in her yard that Otto enjoyed playing with. Kristen's dog Zoey is very sweet and would get along with any dog, and Kristen's children took an interest in Otto. Kristen sent pictures even though I didn't request them (thank you!), she was very flexible about drop off and pick up times, and her location in South Austin was very convenient for us. I recommend Kristen without reservation.”

“I literally can’t not say enough positive things about Laura! She accepted my booking super last minute when I really needed the assistance! She is sweet as pie and loves my baby Prince Ralphie as of it was her her own fur baby 💕💯”


About: I worked in the doggy daycare/boarding/training industry for six years, so I am very experienced with dog body language and behavior. I love every dog I meet, and am comfortable with any breed or size. I like to enforce and strengthen good behavior in positive, rewarding ways, and prevent unwanted behavior with alternate stimulation and distraction. All dog behavior has a reason, and I strive to figure out what the dog is trying to tell me through the behavior so I can help him or her succeed. The 11 years experience I listed was for my own dog, who recently passed away. I also have another dog who is 10 years old. I had each of them since they were 10 month old puppies, and they have taught me so much about how unique and special the human/dog bond can be.
“Maria was fantastic! We needed last minute doggy daycare and she stepped in and saved the day. I'm usually super anxious about leaving him with someone I don't know, but I left feeling confident he was in great hands. Maria sent videos and pictures while we were away, which really helped us be at ease and enjoy our time out. When we picked up our dog, he was happy and you could tell he had a great time. Thank you Maria!”

“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”

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 also always set up a short meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone starts off comfortable. 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.
“Leslie and her adorable doggo were the perfect sitters for my little Benedict. Sent me photos and videos all through the day and he looked so happy and comfortable there!”


“Absolutely recommend Daniel, My pet absolutely loves spending time with him and gets so excited every time he sees him. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, which gives me total peace of mind whenever I’m away. He is professional and very reliable. He also keeps me posted by sharing photos and videos!”

About: My husband and I absolutely love caring for dogs together, and we bring a warm energy to every pup we watch. Since we both work remotely, your dog is never left lonely for long stretches, there’s almost always someone around for snuggles, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. We’re a very hands on, tag-team duo, which means your pup gets extra love, extra supervision, and lots of consistency. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, what makes them excited, what calms them down, and how to make them feel completely at home with us. Whether your dog is high energy and loves adventure or more of a couch cuddler, we adjust to exactly what they need to feel happy and secure. And of course, you’ll get plenty of sweet updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. We treat every dog like part of our little household while they’re with us. Lots of love, attention, and tail wags included 🐾 Because we’re both home, we’re able to take turns or tag-team care depending on our work meetings, which means the dogs always get attention, companionship, and supervision. We love incorporating short walks and play breaks throughout the day so the pups stay happy, stimulated, and comfortable. In the mornings, we usually start the day with potty breaks and walks, followed by breakfast and some playtime or cuddles. During the workday, we naturally build in regular check-ins, outdoor breaks, and moments of attention. Evenings are more relaxed with longer walks, winding down, and lots of quality time. Our home is set up to be a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs can quickly feel settled and at ease. We focus on creating a predictable, reassuring routine so they know when it’s time for walks, meals, play, and rest.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, so I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pup. My goal is to give your dog a home away from home where they can feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you’re away. I currently work from home, which means I’m around throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and company. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends: a playful 1-year-old Dachshund and a 5-year-old black Lab mix. Whether your dog loves to run around and play or would rather curl up and relax, they’ll have plenty of companionship here. Our home is very dog-friendly, with a dog door that gives our pups easy access to a good-sized backyard for potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime throughout the day. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow the schedule and preferences that make your pup feel most at home. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is getting the same kind of love and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾 I work from home full-time, so caring for dogs is already a natural part of my everyday routine! With two dogs of my own, my days include plenty of potty breaks, backyard time, playtime, snuggles, and attention throughout the day. Having a dog door and a good-sized backyard also means the pups can easily head outside when they need a break or want to play. Since I’m home throughout the workday, your pup will have plenty of company and won’t spend their stay waiting all day for someone to come home. I love having dogs around while I work, and my two pups are always happy to have another friend join the routine! I want dogs staying with me to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a home away from home. I do my best to stick to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, routines, and preferences while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and time to relax. I have two friendly dogs of my own, a 1-year-old Dachshund and a 5-year-old black Lab mix, who love having other dogs around to play with. We also have a dog door and a good-sized backyard, so there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor time and play throughout the day. I know every dog is different, so I’m happy to adjust to what makes your pup most comfortable. Whether they want to play with the pack, hang out with me while I work, explore the backyard, or curl up for a nap, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re here.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Valley
Katherine did a great job with our puppy, Willow. She had the perfect place for her to play, walk around, and relax for the day. She asked good, thoughtful questions when we dropped the puppy off. Katherine was friendly, communicative, and flexible, and we would absolutely book again!

Rachel and Maxime were wonderful! They were able to accommodate my dog for daycare at the last minute and gave her so much attention. She had a small injury, and they made sure she was comfortable and well cared for throughout the day. They sent plenty of pictures, and it was clear how much they genuinely care about dogs. We had such a great experience that we booked with them again the very next day, and my dog’s excitement to return made it clear how much fun she had with them!

We had such a wonderful experience with Natalie watching our little Nelson! He had the best day playing with her, her husband, and all of their doggies, and it was clear that he was loved and well cared for while he was there. Nelson had a little potty mishap that left him needing a little cleanup, and he was understandably embarrassed. Natalie was so sweet and patient with him and did everything she could to make him feel comfortable and loved. That meant so much to us! We are incredibly thankful for the care, kindness, and attention they gave our little boy. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Amane! She took amazing care of Ari and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very responsive, flexible with my pickup time, and kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of photos and messages about what they were doing. Ari had such a great time—he went on a walk and visited the park and cooled off by the water! He looked so happy in every picture, and it was obvious he was having a blast and was well cared for. I really appreciated all the updates and the love and attention she gave him. I would absolutely book with her again!

I needed someone to watch Jude for the day while the movers came and I navigated moving logistics so they helped with Jude for a daycare visit. Katelyn and Joe were really easy to book with and tag teamed communication. They offered both a virtual meet and greet or an in person one, they were very accommodating. Jude felt very calm and peaceful in their home. They sent great pictures let me know how he was doing. It made me feel less stressed during the move. I would let them watch Jude again!

Marissa was great! She took great care of our pup Appa while we were out for the day. He had a lot of fun and was very relaxed when we picked him up. Unfortunately we moved to the other side of town, but if we were still nearby we’d absolutely be returning back! Highly recommend Marissa if you need a pup sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sunset Valley on Rover is $34.24 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Sunset Valley 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 2,840 sitters in Sunset Valley, 85% 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.
