“Savannah and Gabriel are the absolute best! We have been using them well over a year for our pup Charlie and he absolutely adores them! My husband and I just had our first baby and don’t have family in ATX. These guys were able to watch him within hours notice of me going into labor, drove 35 minutes both ways to pick and drop him off and left flowers for me and baby. Thank you Savannah and Gabriel for the peace of mind, sweet gift and being there when we needed it the most! We can’t thank you enough.”

She kept us updated regularly and had no problem taking care of our very anxious boy.

Definitely will be taking Gomi back to patches again!!”

“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.

Huge thanks to her for helping me out my first week going back to my office for work after getting my pup!”
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.

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.
“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!”
“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: For several years, I've consistently volunteered at numerous animal shelters. My experience ranges from maintaining the health of puppies and kittens to nurturing and caring for older animals. On top of this, I am very cleanly so you can be rest assured your loved one will treated with the sophistication all animals deserve. As a financial planner, I have a hybrid work schedule that is highly flexible. Without delay or hesitation, your pet's needs will be at the top of my priorities! I frequently run so rest assured, your dog will have all the exercise he/she needs! On top of that, my apartment complex has a convenient dog walking environment so potty breaks will be often!
“Maria is awesome! My young doggies didn't want to leave her. They had such a good time and were exhausted from the whole day of play. I'm thankful for her and rover.com for keeping our animals safe and comfortable.”
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.
“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.

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.

“Having Bourbon board with Giovanna was an absolute delight. They got to meet ahead of time and he took to her immediately. He can be anxious and he takes time getting comfortable with strangers, but within 20 minutes they were already bonding. She was very responsive and communicative throughout this experience. She sent the right amount of updates, so I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries. After 5 days with her, he barely wanted to come back home with me! I would highly recommend Giovanna as a boarder if you are looking for a safe and loving environment for your pups.”

She took her for walks on the trail, around the neighborhood and played with her and her sweet dog in her backyard multiple times a day and sent the BEST photos of Willow continuously throughout her stay. I now have the cutest pictures of her in my photo album. Willow is worn out, she had so much fun. I’m obsessed. Thank you Emma! I’m SO happy we found you! We will definitely be hitting you up next time!”
