Highly-rated overnight sitters - West Gate
“I can’t thank Gol enough for taking such amazing care of my dog. Because of my student situation, my dog lives with me in an apartment and isn’t very social, so this was the first time I was leaving him with someone else. I was honestly very anxious. But Gol completely changed that. She took him out to her large backyard every two hours for playtime, and she kept me updated with videos. Seeing those videos made all the difference — I could clearly see how happy and relaxed he was. Even from the way he wagged his tail, it was obvious he felt safe, comfortable, and emotionally cared for. I’m truly grateful. She went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. I’ll definitely be a regular customer from now on.💚”
“Aine and Jared are my go-to sitters here in Austin. Their attention to detail and communication is unmatched. Stella loves spending time at their house and playing with Fionn!”
“Denise was a communicative and thoughtful host to my 9 year old Corgi, Gus. She watched him over July 4th weekend and administered meds/ cared for my nervous pup as if he was her own! Denise gave great updates and was flexible with drop off and pick up. Will definitely reach out the next time we need a dog-sitter. Thanks Denise!!”
“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!”
“Savannah and Gabriel have been fantastic caregivers for Gus! Their communication is quick and consistent, and the photos they send each day show what a great job they're doing at keeping the pups in their care very happy. I'm grateful for the peace of mind I had while traveling, since I knew my dog was in such fantastic hands.”
“Gail was amazing with our dog. The photo updates were precious and my dog really bonded with Gail. She would be so happy to return the next time we are out of town! Thank you Gail!”
“Sarah took excellent care of our Jackson while we were away. Her communication was great, and she sent the kids photos of our pup when they were missing him. We will definitely use Sarah again, the next time we need a sitter!”
“Patches was the absolute best watching our Gomi for 2 weeks! She was gracious to allow Gomi to stay a little earlier after I realized there was a timing mistake. She kept us updated regularly and had no problem taking care of our very anxious boy. Gomi also isn’t usually the type to hang around other dogs so I was pleasantly surprised to see he was doing just fine with the other dogs boarded or in residence ! Definitely will be taking Gomi back to patches again!!”
“Bassam and Adam were absolutely INCREDIBLE with my high energy, anxious, co dependent Belgian Malanois named Roman. I can't even believe how well this went. I left him for 4 days the first in his life and when I came back he was well fed, exercised and not anxious AT ALL. Actually he was quite chill. I feel totally safe leaving my dog with them and so so grateful!”
“TIno always loves to come and play. He loves to snuggle with Cyndi and start the party play with the other pups. I can't tell if he's tired or sad when he comes home?!? :)”
“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!”
“Lauren is an incredible caregiver! She looked after our long-haired dachshund, Copper, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Copper came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s always a relief to know your pet is in good hands, and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her attention, kindness, and professionalism. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Our toothless dog Coco loved Michelle! Michelle communicated with both my wife and I, which made her so happy. She made so many accommodations and was extremely patient with us since our dog is kind of high-need and just came out of a surgery. I don’t feel like Michelle is charging enough for what she did for us watching our Coco.”
“Jared was wonderful with my 6month old puppy! He was so loving to him. He sent me lots of photos and updates which made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with him. Teddy had a great time and I will definitely use Jared again!”
“Elijah was amazing! He took excellent care of my pups, ensuring their special diet and medication needs were met. When I picked them up, they were happy and looked fantastic. Thank you again for taking such great care of them!”
“María Luisa is amazing! She is very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable with dogs and cats, and her house is welcoming and super clean. She sent many updates and videos, and was very communicative. Our dog had a great time with her and her pets! We hope Mingo can stay with her again soon. Wonderful experience. Thank you!”
“I believe they took care of my senior pup well and sent me lots of photos and videos every day. They were very responsive to my messages. I would recommend Maura and Shawn, and I would use them again.”
“Ziggy loved his stay Amane & her husband. They took him on lots of walks, and adventures in town. There happened to be another dog there and Ziggy seemed to enjoy having another dog to play with. Amane sent photos & detailed notes each day, which we appreciated. Ziggy was so calm when we picked him up. I think he truly enjoyed his stay! I highly recommend Amane and will book again.”

“Lillian was great — highly recommend! She was very kind and responsive, and played with our cat so well. I felt such peace of mind knowing she was checking on them and getting cute photos :)”
“I definitely recommend Dale for peace of mind when leaving your furry friends. He took excellent care of my senior fur baby and even got my nervous cat to warm up. He sent great photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond tidying their litter and eating areas. I would absolutely have Dale back to care for my guys!”
“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!”

“Annie was incredibly responsible, responsive, thoughtful, so loving and sweet toward my new rescue cat, Shadow, and went above and beyond. I was nervous to leave town for the first time since adopting him, but Annie alleviated all stress just by how thorough she was every step of the way. I cannot thank her enough, and will definitely be booking her for any future sitter needs.”
“Raven is the best! She is very professional, and went above and beyond my expectations when checking on my two cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.”
“John was an awesome sitter! I mixed up booking dates — meant to book for Thanksgiving but accidentally booked the week before — and John graciously helped adjust the booking and was still able to take care of my cat over the holiday. He sent great daily updates with lots of photos and got my sometimes timid fur baby to warm up to pets and being brushed right away. I’m also a freak about shoes in certain parts of the house & he kindly obliged my request! I’d love to book with him again in the future.”
“Taylor was so communicative and sent so many great pics of my Marty! It was so reassuring to know that someone was being attentive to him while I was away. Thank you!”
About: I have several years of experience cat-sitting for friends and am comfortable with a range of personalities. I’m patient, respectful of boundaries, and good at building trust with cats while keeping routines consistent.
“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”
“Samantha was awesome with our two cats! She was so kind and playful with them, and even extremely helpful when one of them had an accident on our bed. And so communicative with us every day. We can’t wait to have her help out again next time!”
“Kelly was great! My cat was very happy when I returned home and was well taken care of while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed Rover cards and photos she sent after each visit. Kelly was quick to respond to every message I sent. I would highly recommend Kelly and will definitely be using her again!”
About: My entire childhood (and adulthood) I grew up with animals. Cats, dogs, turtles, ducks, geese, rabbits, you name it. I used to work at a doggy day care and in college I nannied for a big family with a few dogs. I personally have 2 cats myself. I love animals so much and truly wanted to start pet sitting because I just wanted to spend time with animals. I’m totally good with giving medicine, walks, park time, car time, whatever your baby needs. I’m here for it all! I’m in field sales so my schedule is super flexible! I make my own schedule so can fit in any time to see your babies! I drive all over town so can make anything work. I love to make sure your pet gets the care they need - so if that’s outside time for 20 minutes then we will do that. If it’s playing around for 20 minutes then we will do that or if they just want pets, of course we can do that. I currently live in an apartment so all visits would have to be in your home.
“Bianca was amazing with my dogs. She was very responsive throughout the whole process, keeping me updated every step of the way with texts and photos. She is very good with dogs and able to handle them even though they have a lot of energy. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Casey has stayed overnight with my cat three times now! He absolutely loves her. She keeps me updated and and gives him a ton of love. She makes me feel comfortable being away for the weekend.”
“Mia took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town. She provided us with plenty of updates and pictures and was overall just a fantastic sitter for us! I absolutely recommend her and will request her again when we need someone to watch our pet. Thank you Mia!!”

“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.”
“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”
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!
About: I was a pre-vet major with experience handling large and small animals. Now I work in child welfare and have a great home to board pups. I have two of my own, so socialized pets only please. My home is a dog vacation for sure. They have free roam, supervised yard time, and are rarely left alone. I prefer smaller dogs but can take larger ones. My cap is 2 dogs at a time as 4 dogs is plenty to care for. I have been boarding dogs privately for about five years, but will now board via the Apps. Looking forward to helping care for your pups as well as I care for mine! I have a flexible schedule with my full-time job that allows me to take the time to help others when they can't get to their pets. I only board 2 dogs at a time as I have my own two. Gates are sealed, outdoor time is supervised, pets are allowed free roam.
“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!💕🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

For daycare or overnight stays - I have a small fenced in back yard and walking trails nearby. No other pets in the home. Will take your pets on regular walks based on their needs.
“She takes care of my deaf and partially blind puppy--what more can I say?! He gets lots of walks with her and thrives on her one-on-one attention. I know it's a good day when he comes home tired, which is very hard to accomplish with him. :) I was worried about him being in an apartment, but they go outside so often, it really isn't an issue for him. Vivien is attentive, responsive, and extremely patient with my high energy (and sometimes high needs) puppy. Thanks Vivien!”

About: With 17 years of experience caring for senior dogs and pups who need a little extra support, I offer attentive, compassionate boarding for dogs who would benefit from being the only other pup in a calm, steady environment. I’m confident administering medications and have a long history supporting senior dogs and helping rehabilitate rescue pups. I live in a quiet first‑floor apartment chosen with senior joints in mind, with plenty of nearby green spaces for slow, comfortable walks. Your dog will share the space with my gentle 14‑year‑old chihuahua, Shelby, a former Austin Pets Alive! rescue and heartworm survivor who enjoys meeting respectful new friends. My background includes running my own dog‑walking and house‑sitting service, and I bring steady care and professionalism to every booking. My days move at a stress-free senior‑friendly pace. I’m home the majority of the day, so dogs aren’t left alone for long stretches, and I structure my errands and outings around my guests’ needs. I live in a centrally located, easily accessible gated apartment complex. Your pup would join Shelby and me on relaxed morning and evening walks along the trees and green spaces nearby. Indoors, we have comfy, Shelby‑approved beds in every room, along with hard floors and washable rugs for the occasional senior moment. I keep a toxin‑free home, using simple, pet‑safe products throughout the space. Dogs can also enjoy fresh air on the fully enclosed porch, which is a safe, quiet spot for gentle outdoor time.

“Dale was easy to work with for our last-minute dog walking needs, and he went above and beyond to ensure both my young and senior dog were taken care of. Thanks, Dale!”
About: I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care! My family has always had cats and dogs so I’m always happy and comfortable around animals. I’m very patient, calm and attentive. My cat was very sick when I first got him but his symptoms were very subtle, the vet said had I not been so adamant about getting him checked multiple times, he probably would not have made it. I love all animals and would bring that level of attention to any fur baby that I sit for. I know that each animal requires specific care and is unique in personality and I am happy to work within whatever sitting style would make your pet comfortable and happy. I am trusted sitter for friends and family and would treat your pet with the care and love that I would treat my own. I just graduated with my masters at UT Austin so I currently have a very open schedule! I drive and would be happy to come by whenever you need. I think that it’s really important for your pet to have the care that you think is best. Whatever your routine or situation I’m happy to accommodate to keep your pet on schedule. For example, I am very particular about how I take care of my own cat in my home. He has an automatic feeder and a water fountain so that he is always fed on time and has enough water throughout the day. Each night I play fetch with him for at least 15 minutes to get his energy out before bed. At night time he sleeps next to me the whole time. This is what works for us but everyone’s situation looks different. If you give me a step by step of how your pet likes to be cared for I can assure you I will do exactly that :)
“Thank you so much Aryanna for the meet and greet, the walk, the wonderful details and for taking the best care of our Sammie! So happy to have someone so competent watch her. We can’t wait to book you again and we really appreciate you! MANY THANKS!”
“Christine is a dog whisperer and truly amazing human being. She is so dependable and responsive, which is a big win and important to us when we leave town. She takes such good care of our dog Schlappen like he’s her very own. Thank you Christine for all you do! ❤️”
About: Growing up with pets my whole life, I understand the responsibility their care takes, and how important it is for pet owners to trust their pet care taker. I previously had a dog walker for my German Shepard, who always joked he was honored to be our boy's 3rd favorite person (after my mom and I). It always warmed my heart to know he was in such good and caring hands. It has inspired me to bring that same level of trust and love to you and your fur baby. I can't wait to become their 2nd or 3rd favorite person! I work remotely and love physical activity. One of my main drivers of becoming a dog walker and pet care taker is to bring some furry joy and movement into my boring work days while also being able to give owners piece of mind that they have someone reliable and trustworthy to help care for their furry family members. Pet care within a client's home requires immense trust and understanding. It is my duty to ensure I understand the boundaries between me being in your house and your pet's space along with expectations for pet care.
“I've got a senior dog with health issues who has been wearing the cone of shame. Jackson never gave up and continuously showed up to take care of my pup, make sure her needs were met until she adjusted just fine. Working odd hours is stressful, but knowing my pup is being taking care of with consistent care has helped me so much. Also, his communication is clear and he's very friendly!”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.
About: With 10+ years of caring for my own pets plus family and friends’ dogs, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for every pup. I’m committed to giving dogs the caring attention they deserve when their owners can’t be there. My schedule is very open right now, which gives me a lot of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care whenever needed. In my clients’ homes, I always follow their routines, preferences, and house rules. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable and cared for while I’m a guest in their space.
About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of pets and I have gained experience both in professional and personal settings. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats with all kinds of routines and care needs and have no trouble adapting! I am available during mid June to mid September 2026 since I’m an out of state college student and this is my summer break! I am available for most of the week and can be flexible. Caring for your pet(s) in your home won’t be much of a hassle for me! I’ll be keeping an eye on your pet(s) at all times and will keep to whatever routine you give me. If you’re worried about playtime and cuddles, there’s no need because I plan to give your pet(s) all the attention they deserve and more!
About: Hi! My girlfriend and I are dedicated and experienced Rover sitters with a true passion for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve spent years caring for pets through Rover and beyond, building a strong reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating a safe, fun environment for every dog I watch. One thing that makes my care unique is that my partner and I work together as a team. With both of us present, your dog gets double the attention, supervision, and playtime. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just keeping your pup company, we make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved at all times. I have experience with: • High-energy dogs that need lots of activity • Senior dogs requiring extra patience and care • Maintaining routines (feeding schedules, medications, etc.) We treat every dog like family and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away so you always know your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care with plenty of love and playtime, we’d be happy to help! I like to take the pups to zilker or just spend time with them at home. Don’t mind going on walks if it’s a nice day out. I make sure to play with them, feed them routinely and take them on walks. Open to any other suggestions if needed of course. Thanks

About: I’ve had pets all my life from birds and rabbits to cats and dogs. I grew up taking care of 4-5 dogs into adulthood since my mom always was taking in strays. I have my Westie named Champ and he’s an anxious one but I’ve successfully learned how to manage and make him feel comfortable, happy, and challenged! I also take care of other pets and have such a joy to meet all the unique characters I come by. I currently work full time remotely at home. My schedule is pretty flexible and my job knows I do this work so it works out pretty easily. I can follow all instructions you give for the best way to manage and take care of your pet(s). I like to make sure the animal(s) are as comfortable as can be and minimize any stress that may occur in absence of their parents. If there are special requests I am totally open and want to make sure you are stress free when you are away from you pet. I currently work remote from home and have a flexible schedule. I live in south Austin and my services asee updated on the map. I have my own dog too so know what it’s like to really need a trusted and comforting person to take care of my own. I am more than happy to first have a meet and greet to get to know the owner and pet and to go over any special treatment or services. I always prefer to go to a clients home as this will usually be the most comfortable setting for most pets.
“Lara has been amazing! She is always on time to take our dogs on walks, and has been very responsive and flexible with any sudden schedule changes. Our dog gets super excited to see her, and I know she’s well taken care of with Lara.”

“Mindy seemed to have a great time with Amy! Amy sent pics everyday and made us feel reassured throughout our trip. She kept us updated and was super responsive over Rover text. I'm always hesitant to leave Mindy with anyone, but I knew that she's in great hands with Amy. Amy even took the time to meet us before the booking to make sure that we're all a great fit. We'll definitely reach out to Amy again if we need help in the future :)”
“Kind & professional. Vicki had a blast with Amanda & Jared—she’s totally exhausted in the best way! I messed up with scheduling the accurate pickup time but Amanda & Jared were very gracious about it. I feel terrible for throwing a wrench in their schedule. Other than my mistake, the experience was a joy, drop off & pickup went very smoothly, we received regular updates, and, most importantly, Vicki was happy & loved while we were out of town. Thanks so much for taking great care of her!!”
“The backyard gave Tucker lots of high quality play time and Desmond & Robyn were fantastic at sending me pictures of Tucker intermittently throughout the day. Next time I am in need of a sitter, Desmond & Robyn will definitely be my first choice. Highly recommend!”
“Mason did a fantastic job watching my dog, Oscar. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Oscar’s well-being. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away, and Oscar came home happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mason again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Reid and Sabrina were so communicative and took such great care of manny. He got so much exercise and lots of cuddles. He can’t wait to see them again!”
“We had our corgi Ben stay with Emma for a long weekend, and he came home happy and tired after a few days of fun and running around. This was our first time having Ben stay with Emma, and she was so communicative and shared tons of fun updates on all the activities of the weekend. We absolutely will be bringing Ben back whenever the need for a sitter arises!”
“Ryan was super communicative and send frequent photos and videos. She also asked really detailed questions about our dog's care which showed how seriously she took her responsibilities. She even took care to protect our dog during this mysterious doggie illness going around in the winter of 2023. She obviously loves animals and is extremely experienced taking good care of them. We definitely recommend Ryan to all pet owners!!!”
