“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!”
“Wow! Alison made this experience so easy from the start. The communication was always prompt with constant picture and message updates. I trust her completely with my whopping 5lb little boy. I will definitely be using her again!!!”
“Aine and Jared (and Fionn their lovely pup) were just wonderful with Nala! They were super flexible with pickup and drop off and very responsive throughout the entire stay! They sent us photos and videos and ongoing updates and we received a happy dog that loved her stay there! Thank you guys again and I’m sure we’ll be back for our next getaway!”
“Fern had a wonderful time playing with your dogs. She will definitely stay again in future. She got lots of snuggles and I received updates with photos during her stay.”
“My baby, Archie, had a fantastic stay!!! This was the first time I’d left him with strangers and he and I felt right at home. I loved receiving my daily pics. To be honest, I think he’s now a little lonely without his friends to play with. We’ll have to go back soon!”
“Thank you, Robyn & Desmond, for taking great care of our pups. We never worry about them while we have to be away. We appreciate you guys being a second home for them.”
“If I could give Andrea 10 stars, I would. She was so sweet, extremely communicative, and I absolutely loved how she sent daily photos/videos. I will without a doubt be requesting Andrea again:)”
“Amanda and Jared are absolutely amazing. It was my first time leaving my pup with a dog sitter and they did an amazing job at making her feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Scotch had an amazing stay with Rachel and Justin. I really appreciate the daily updates and care that went in to make my pup comfortable at their place. Thank you for giving such love and care to Scotch and being flexible with the timings. You guys are amazing!”
“My sweet but high anxiety little Maltipoo was so happy staying with Lilia. Lilia has a great yard for little dogs and was very accommodating to our drop off and pick up times. Loved the pictures she sent us too. It was a great experience and we will definitely use her again!”
“He was great! He sent a lot of updates and pictures! My dog even cuddled up to him on day one, which is huge for him. If I need to board him again, I would absolutely leave him with Ryan!!”
“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!”
“Denise was amazing! My pups are repeat visitors and she always maintains great communication. Pups come home clean and happy. Even took this booking last minute for a work trip I had to make. 10/10”
“This is my second time using Brett and he was fantastic. My older dog had hurt her paw 2 days before our trip and it didn’t phase Brett to give her medication and help keep her calm and resting. It’s very clear the dogs are happy staying with Brett. I would definitely recommend him over and over.”
“This was my first time to use DogVacay and I had such a wonderful first experience! I felt so comfortable leaving Reilly with Cynthia. We went for an initial "meet and greet" and I could tell Reilly was 100% comfortable with Cindy as was I, with her, her home and yard. The set up is perfect for dog sitting - her backyard is lush and green and her back door is able to remain open for the dogs to come and go. Cindy sent us pictures and updates that put us at ease and took Reilly for walks - we were VERY pleased!”
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic watching our little 2-year old chiweenie for 6 days. She and her husband were very attentive and thoughtful with our dog’s needs and quirks. They made sure to play his favorite games to get all his energy out and sent daily updates (complete with pictures!). He had a big smile on his face. She will be our go-to sitter for future stays! 🐶👍”

“Julia is amazing! My cats are typically very shy with new people and she got them to come over to her on her very first visit with them. She also sent lots of helpful pictures and took care of the cat boxes without me asking! Highly recommend!”
“MIsha has been a great cat sitter for me. He is very punctual, reliable, takes great pictures, and reports everything he did each day. I have used him more than once and will continue to ask him to return. He is good at asking questions when he has them, also.”
“Laura was our first Rover pet sitter, and we’ll definitely book her again. She checked in on our cat every other day for 10 days, provided updates after each visit, cleaned up any messes, and took time to play with Aubergine. Booking and coordinating logistics with her was also very easy. Highly recommend!”
“I would highly recommend Samantha! I left my cat with her for about two and half weeks which is a long time for me to be away! From the beginning she was super kind and sent plenty of updates that reassured me that my cat was happy and well cared for! I would definitely rebook her in the future!”
“Kayla was very attentive with chicken, chicken enjoyed her treats and pet pets. Everything went according to plan. Will request Kayla to visit kitties again in the future.”
“Malina took care of our cat for a week. She showed great communication skills, and our cat loved her. It meant the world for us when we accidentally missed our return date, and she was keen and willing to show up on short notice. She calmed us when we were worried, took great pictures and videos, and just great overall.”
“Tiffany truly went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of and loved. I cannot begin to express how much happiness and peace of mind her daily update messages brought to us while we were away. If I could give a 6 star rating I would! She is absolutely fabulous!”
“Antonio had great communication from the start. He came over to see our place and meet Zoey before our vacation. I felt very comfortable with his help. He even brought in a package on our porch for us that had arrived late. We will definitely use him again as Zoey seemed like a very happy cat when we got home.”
“Ashley went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was happy and healthy while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates and photos and she was incredibly helpful and communicative when our kitty got an upset tummy and needed extra meds. She is kind and caring, and did a great job with the feeding and med schedule we had set up. We came home to a content kitty and clean litter box and will absolutely book Ashley again next time we go out of town!”
“Definitely the best experience I've had on this app. Olivia sent tons of photos, wrote helpful descriptions, and even helped bring in my packages while we were away. She went above and beyond, very much recommend.”

“Penelope was very easy to work with - communicative, sent so many pics, and spent good time with my cats when she checked on them! Will absolutely work with her again.”
“Page has been such a huge godsend! My mom is in hospice care so I am having to go out of town often and it makes me feel so secure knowing that Page is here with the animals when I can not be.”
“Annie was an amazing pet sitter! She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy and well taken care of. I really appreciated her updates and the extra care she showed.”
“Abigail was the best!! I was worried about doing Rover again because my last experience wasn’t great. She was accommodating and even did a meet and greet before I left. It made me feel so much safer leaving my girls in good hands. She actually spent time with my kitties which I know cats are not the most exciting animals but one of my girls loves pets and Abigail provided that. I will definitely use her again!! Also loved all the photos and feedback.”

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.

“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’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.
“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medication, and of course, plenty of updates and photos. I have a pretty flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. I’m also happy to follow their usual routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with lots of patience, attention, and love. I’ll always follow your instructions and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I’m also very comfortable with shy or nervous pets and will give them plenty of time and space to warm up at their own pace.
“Sydney took great care of Bumble. She keeps a clean and secured yard for the dogs to play. I received photo updates throughout the day. Bumble came home tired but very happy. Will be back for sure!”
“My Aussie had his first daycare visit with Ryan. It went very well. Misha felt very comfortable with Ryan and had 2 long walks and came home tired and happy! Thank you Ryan!!!”
“Emma was the perfect host! My dogs were well taken of through out their visit. Emma was very flexible with the timing and worked to accommodate our needs! My girls loved their walks and everything was first class! Emma is my Austin connection! Thanks, Emma! Lucy Lou and Lilly Bug Love you!💕🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
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.
“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.”
About: I have a big heart for pets! I work remote, and I have a 2 year old golden retriever, Sibley! She’s the sweetest girl & loves to play! She has tons of energy, but is also a cuddle bug on the couch! She was gentle with our cat & didn’t mind her much! I have plenty of free time to care for your animals around your schedule & needs as I work from home! I wake up around 8 and I am a night owl! I do take last minute bookings as long as I don’t have another pet! I have toys & puzzles for dogs. My complex also has 2 dog parks fenced in! I will not allow your dog to play with other dogs other than my own. The park can be just so they can fetch, roam free & have outside play time! I love working on skills, & trying to train fun tricks!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, energy levels, ages and personalities. I've had pets for most of my life and have been pet sitting since 2005, providing dependable, loving care for furry family members as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, routines, and special needs requirements. Whether your pet loves long walks active playtime belly rubs or simply relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to tell her my care to their unique personality and needs. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. One of the things I enjoy most about pet sitting is having a wonderful animal companion by my side while I work. I truly appreciate the comfort, joy, and unconditional love that pets bring to our lives. I'm very active and enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, and engaging play sessions, but I'm equally happy to spend quiet time reading, relaxing, and snuggling with pets who prefer a calmer pace. I'm single, well traveled, reliable, kind, and an excellent communicator who understands how important regular updates and photos are for pet parents. I currently don't have any pets of my own, which allows me to give your pet my full attention during our time together. I also maintain five star reviews on The trusted house sitters platform, reflecting my commitment to responsible, attentive, and compassionate pet care. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion! As a remote worker in graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, making it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, play time, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. My study and work routine also means that your pet won't be left alone for long periods and can enjoy regular interaction, supervision, and affection. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a calm quiet environment, I can adapt my schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well carried for. Your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live alone in a quiet condominium community, creating a calm, low stress environment for pets who enjoy peace and routine. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus my full attention on your fur family member and their individual needs. My home includes a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and there's also a dog park conveniently located within the community for dogs who enjoy socialization and exercise. Whether you're pet loves activity or prefers a quieter pace, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I am a responsible caregiver, excellent communicator, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for added peace of mind.
About: I’ve been dog-obsessed since I was eight years old, when I would paper-clip the pages of my favorite breeds in a Westminster guide to dogs. Since then, I’ve helped raise, care for, and train at least five dogs of my own and within my family. I also volunteer with Austin Pets Alive! and have completed training in animal safety, dog handling, breed-specific care, behavior, and socialization. For more than a decade, I have cared for and walked dogs in Los Angeles, New York, and Austin. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal I meet with the love, dignity, and respect they deserve. My experience as a yoga teacher also shapes the calm, patient, and compassionate approach I bring to caring for each pet. I follow each pet’s established routine and provide regular updates so you can relax while away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I currently teach yoga and study for school part-time so I have a very flexible schedule and open availability to accept dog care opportunities. It’s just simply something I enjoy doing and it’s going to help pay for my masters degree in social work. :) My own dogs are part of the family and spend every evening sleeping in my bed. Attention love and care are central to a dog’s happiness, and I am constantly engaged with my dogs every day whether it be through various activities like fetch going for walks or at home to play, enrichment, socialization, and interaction is essential to building a healthy bond and supporting a healthy dog.
“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!”

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.
About: Working from home allows me to spend more time with my dog and give my clients’ dogs all the attention they deserve. Taking care of my bulldog daily requires applying nose butter, baby whites, dental wipes and more. I am happy to do this for my clients fur babies too! I currently work full time from home as an IT business analyst. This allows me flexibility to help care for other pets all day everyday I have a 4 year old English bulldog at home. I take him on walks daily (when it is not too hot). Due to bulldog’s health issues I clean his face and nose daily. I am very comfortable caring for clients’ pets and providing whatever service they may need.

I walk them everyday and always ensure they’re hydrated, I would do the same for other doggos. Not every dog is the same, adjustments can always be made.

“Gihan is the best. She was super sweet, and took great care of my pups. She also sent over a bunch of pictures which is always great. :) Definitely going to reach out to her again next time I need help with pups. Thanks again for all your help, Gihan!!”
“Danielle is absolutely amazing with Mishka! She is great about listening to Mishka’s cues when she wants to keep walking or needs a chill day to just play inside. It’s very apparent how much she cares about the dogs she walks. Mishka is so excited to see her each day and it shows in all the pics that Danielle sends! I’m so happy to have found someone I trust Mish with in Austin.”

I have been caring for dogs together for 6 years, watching pets for friends and family of all sizes and personalities. Since I don’t have pets, your dog gets my full attention, a calm environment, and lots of love. I am active, attentive, and committed to sticking to your pup’s routine whether that’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy downtime. I’d love to care for your furry family member! Because I work a hybrid schedule, pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I build walks and playtime into my mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings, and am fully flexible on weekends for extra attention, longer walks, or outings. Since I don’t have pets of my own, I am able to give visiting dogs my full focus and keep their routine consistent.

I will follow your feeding schedule, exercise preferences, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. For walks and drop-ins, we make sure pets get quality exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), and plenty of affection. We’re attentive to behavior changes and always send updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away. Our goal is to make your pet feel secure, loved, and right at home — whether they’re with us or we’re visiting them.

“Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a dog sitter in the South Austin area. Our dog requires daily medication and has been labeled a stage 5 clinger so we were a bit nervous to leave him without someone unfamiliar but Brian opened his home, and showed Leron all of the love we could have asked for.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5, cats and dogs. My fur loving friends and I help each other out when out of town. I’ve had a pug for almost 14 years and currently raising a 5 year old lab/retriever mix named Indiana Jones. My fiance and I live in a house with a fenced in backyard where your doggo can potty/sunbathe/sniff around. I’ll take your dog for walks and the nearby park where they can play and socialize with other dogs. Indiana Jones (our lab/retriever mix) loves to play fetch with the Chuck It so if your dog is really active they can play fetch together. I’ll care and show affection towards your pet as if they’re ours <3 I am a part time fitness instructor and my fiance works from home, and we are home most of the time so we won’t be away from your pet for too long at a time. A few walks and if high-energy, a big play/fetch at the park every day or every other day. My fiance and I live in a house with a fenced in backyard where your doggo can potty/sunbathe/sniff around. I’ll take your dog for walks and the nearby park. Indiana Jones (our dog) loves to play fetch with the Chuck It so if your dog is really active they can play fetch together:)
“Great to have a big place for Modelo to interact with other dogs and play for the weekend. Great communication and very convenient to Downtown Austin. Would highly recommend Bassam.”
About: Hi! I’m Brant, a 26-year-old professional who works from home in South Austin. I’m a native Texan from Houston, a proud Texas A&M graduate, and have called Austin home for more than four years. Animals have always been a major part of my life. I grew up caring for and raising dogs, and because my family raises horses, I also have experience around horses, Longhorns, and other farm animals. Over the past year, I’ve fostered several dogs to support local shelters, giving me experience helping unfamiliar pets settle into a new environment and feel safe. I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I frequently watch my girlfriend’s dog, Rafi, who quickly becomes my companion around the house and—when appropriate—on pet-friendly outings throughout Austin. I’m currently waiting until the timing is right to adopt a dog of my own, so Rover gives me an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while helping owners feel confident that their pets are receiving attentive, dependable care. I’m highly responsive, happy to provide regular photo updates, and committed to following each owner’s instructions closely. I work remotely from home and have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Pets staying with me will rarely be left alone for extended periods, and I can adapt my routine around their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep schedules. I live alone in a spacious 2,200-square-foot home in a quiet residential area of South Austin with a large, fully fenced backyard. This provides plenty of room for pets to play, explore, relax, or find a quiet space when they need one. Pets are welcome on my furniture and treated like members of the household unless their owners prefer that I maintain different boundaries. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, so I take time to learn each pet’s routine, comfort level, triggers, and style of care. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions and will never take a pet on an outing or introduce it to another animal without the owner’s permission.
“Elizabeth was amazing with my pup. She made sure he feels at home while we kept him with her. She also kept us updated on his activities and how’s he doing in general. I would definitely recommend her, she’s very trust worthy!”
“I can tell Cienne loves animals. Great energy. My dog seemed very at peace when I picked him up. I got lots of pictures which was appreciated! Highly recommend this sitter :)”
About: I have a big heart for pets! I work remote, and I have a 2 year old golden retriever, Sibley! She’s the sweetest girl & loves to play! She has tons of energy, but is also a cuddle bug on the couch! She was gentle with our cat & didn’t mind her much! I have plenty of free time to care for your animals around your schedule & needs as I work from home! I wake up around 8 and I am a night owl! I do take last minute bookings as long as I don’t have another pet! I have toys & puzzles for dogs. My complex also has 2 dog parks fenced in! I will not allow your dog to play with other dogs other than my own. The park can be just so they can fetch, roam free & have outside play time! I love working on skills, & trying to train fun tricks!
“Rachel and Maxine helped to watch Pippi last minute. I appreciate their curiosities to see if there’s anything else they need to know about Pippi before drop off. They were great at communicating and very flexible! I would book them again!”
