Highly-rated overnight sitters - Briarcliff
“Ollie had a great experience with Julie and Michael. Communication was great and they truly showed care and comfort for my pup. He can’t wait to return. Thank you!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Erica took such thoughtful, attentive care of my two senior dogs, both of whom need daily medication and a little extra TLC. She was incredibly patient and gentle, making sure they got their meds on time and giving them all the cuddles they needed to feel at home. Her updates and photos gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear they were comfortable, relaxed, and well loved in her care. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, especially for my older pups. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Lucia. She was so nice to watch our girl last minute. We received several pictures of our pup throughout the stay and it looked like she was having a great time. We would definitely have Lucia watch her again!”
“Malu and family are excellent caretakers. They made sure Odis was happy and active during his stay with walks and even a run! The house, yard and neighborhood set up are a dog’s (and dog owner’s) dream. Their dog Shadow makes for a great companion and Malu’s communication is spot on. You will not regret hiring Malu to care for your pet.”
“Nikki is our go-to host. Our dogs simply love spending time with her family and dogs. Nikki is super communicative and takes great pictures to show us how much our dogs enjoy their time.”
“Michael took such great care of our Annie. Our Annie had some tummy issues during her stay with Michael. He went above and beyond sending pics, cleaning up tummy messes, vet visit, keeping us informed , extra day stay due to airline delays and checking on Annie post stay. I would highly recommend Michael!”
“Leilani was awesome! She sent me plenty of updates and took care of my dog! She worked with me on my budget and was flexible when my flight was delayed by a few hours. Highly recommend!”
“Two-week stay that went perfectly. Lady received all the attention and care that we would provide at home, perhaps more! We will definitely be using Holly & Brady again in the future.”
“Kristina and her household were an incredible extended family for our dog, Bailey! She was kind, informative, affectionate, and kept us up to date with plenty of pics, videos and messages every day. As we left Kristina’s house, Bailey was genuinely sad to leave, and I get the sense that she can’t wait for next time! Highly recommend Kristina as a crucial part of anyone’s dog care family!”
“Our dog, Shiner, had the best Christmas Ever with Judy and his new friends. I wasn’t quite sure he was going to want to come home. A big thank you for taking such good care of him. There is nothing better than being able to leave town and know that your dog is in the best care.”
“Yisel and Victor were outstanding with our dogs, providing great care and sharing pictures with us frequently. They even gave us beautiful pictures on film of the pups after their stay. I would highly recommend trusting Yisel and Victor with your pups, they’ll be in great hands.”
“Bethany was great. She sent me frequent pictures of my dog. She looked very comfortable. And I feel very comfortable with her as a sitter and I will use her again.”
“Katy is great! We felt very safe leaving lilo with her. Throughout the stay she kept sending us updates and pictures of how lilo was doing. We are very happy with the care she provided, I highly recommend her.”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
“Lacy was the best. She gave lots of love and care to our precious little Balu (Shi tzu). she would send us pictures and Videos to us frequently so that we could have a peaceful vacation”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first booking on Rover! Jimmye Sue and her husband Tom were amazing hosts. From the initial meet & greet at their home and the comprehensive questions they asked to ensure they could provide the specialized care we needed, we knew they would be the perfect hosts for our pup. They provided daily updates with several pictures and treated our pup like one of their own. They are certainly our first choice the next time we need someone to care for our fur baby. Thank you Jimmye Sue and Tom! We will see you again soon!”
“Lisa and RJ took great care of Sunny while we traveled over the holidays. They followed all of our directions and kept us updated via daily texts and photos, which we enjoyed and appreciated! I’m so happy to have found them and will definitely leave Sunny in their care again during futures trips.”

“I recently hired Zoey to watch my two Maine Coon cats and she was absolutely wonderful!! So communicative, responsible, and caring. I came home to two very happy cats 🦁🤍 I would 100% book Zoey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in ATX. Thank you so much, Zoey!”
“Jenny did an excellent job taking care of my cat! I really appreciated all the pictures she took and the descriptive notes she left after each visit. I felt completely at ease while I was out of town knowing she was in good hands! :)”
About: Hi my name is Hunter, and I’m here to watch your precious pets :) I have grown up with animals my whole life, I have a dog of my own, and when I was 18 I worked at a doggy daycare. I plan on getting my dog training certificate and becoming a certified dog trainer! I currently have no job, and will be free to watch your pets any time, and don’t plan on working another full time job for a while, so I should be free whenever :) I can take your pet on walks, of course feed them, you may catch me and them becoming best friends, and I’ll make sure your pets have the best time of their life!
About: I’ve had pets since I was a little girl and have passed the love I have for them down to my dog loving kiddos too! I currently don’t have any pets, so my time at home with my daughter is pretty free. We volunteer at APA, but would love a dog at home too! We make sure to have fun with them and give them lots of love. We also always make sure that they are on the best behavior and don’t miss out on being polite around furniture and such. Movement is a big factor that we love to encourage dogs to do even if it is a little walk!
“Pamela was very thorough with her care for our cat. She took the time to try to play with her, which no other cat sitter has tried to do with Jade. Unfortunately, she is one of those cats who is only comfortable around us. We would feel comfortable with Pamela caring for her in the future and would ask her to return.”
“Lilyanna was amazing! Even though both of us had hectic weeks going into my time away from home she was communicative and she sent so many pictures of my girls. When I got home they were happy and relaxed and I could tell they had been well cared for. Thanks Lilyanna!”
About: We had many cats of our own as my kids grew up. They are the best and i look forward to sitting experience along with house sitting is going to be great Your preferences and boundaries will be well respected

Payton was extremely professional, attentive, and loving towards our fur babies. She provided us tons of updates and adorable pictures during her visit.We will definitely be booking Payton again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thanks again, The Miller Fam”

“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”

About: Hi, I’m Alena — a mom of four wonderful children, a travel enthusiast, and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and spent much of my childhood wishing I could be Dr. Dolittle. For more than a decade, I shared my home with three cats, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I previously fostered dogs through Austin Pets Alive and have spent many vacations caring for pets through TrustedHousesitters. I’m comfortable administering prescription medications to both cats and dogs, as well as handling basic grooming needs. Today, I share my home with two cats and two dogs. For the comfort and safety of all pets, my dogs live separately from any boarding guests. Boarding dogs stay on the upper floor and do not interact with my pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets, get to know their unique personalities, and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available to board your pet any day of the week. I would love to take your dogs for a walk, too! For boarding, I provide a safe space and a pet bed in my bedroom, separately from my own pets. Dogs have free reign in the fenced backyard and enjoy walks around the neighborhood twice a day, ranging from 10 min to 2 hours, depending on their needs.
About: I work from home, so I'm home all day with our mini Labradoodle—and I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as well! I walk Luke twice during the work day and have a fenced yard where your pet can play safely. I look forward to the chance to meet your pup! I work from home during the week, which gives me the flexibility to take your pet on regular walks and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a nearby dog park in our neighborhood, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and socialization. I know how important it is to keep them active, happy, and engaged.
“I had an excellent experience with Alexandra. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home very happy. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: I host dogs for several neighbors and friends regularly. I have had several dogs over the years, but lost my older golden retriever 3 years ago. I work from home and spend most of my time in the kitchen and outdoor space. I like to go on walks and hike on neighborhood trails. I have a large fenced yard for playing. Pets sit with me and follow me around the house to my work desk or my kitchen when I cook. They are my snuggly family member while in my home, since my teens don’t want it :)
“Tinker had a wonderful day with Carinne and Rocky while we were at the F1 race at COTA! Carinne and Rocky are such gentle, caring souls, and Tinker felt right at home with them. He clearly enjoyed his time there—and I think he may have even picked up a thing or two from Rocky 😄. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book with Carinne again!”
About: We are a family of 5 - Erika (Spouse) Me (Patrick), Cailen (Little boy of 3yrs), Cherie (Boxer) and Chiquito (Chihuahua) always 5 in same room, love at all time and caring having fun in yard, water and running! Nobody cares about dogs like we do... provide treats, care and very loving towards dogs. Dogs travel with us, dog follows us everywhere, shaded back yard so they can run, they swim with us in the little kids pool they take sun or simply chill.... very easy life here and plenty of place to run or relax as needed. No furniture in house is off limits. You break or chew then we lose that privilege. Simple, dog fun and be reassured we will treat your dog as we'd expect you treat ours.
About: IttyBittyPups under 15lbs will have fun and be safe with me! I have only two spots for IttyBittyPups at a time, so you can feel safe knowing your babies are given plenty of one-on-one attention. No young children in the house, no cats, no larger dogs; just my two tiny Yorkies for your baby to play with! Doggie door stays open all day (weather permitting) and they have a full, securely fenced back yard to play in! I monitor them closely to make sure don’t get overheated, which small dogs are more apt to do. I’m glad to help continue any potty training that you are currently doing for your IttyBittyPup…Come play! I am happy to schedule a one-hour free playdate here for your reassurance; you can stay and watch the pups play while we have coffee ☕️🙂 I am home all day, so your IttyBittyPup will never, ever be left alone (except in case of some sort of emergency, and in that case, I have emergency backup people in-house, secure crates, and I will contact you immediately!) In case of any emergency requiring evacuation, I will protect your baby like my own family! I am all about dogs, so they will get plenty of playtime and cuddles from me and my two tiny Yorkies 💕💕 They will also be allowed on the furniture, which is fully protected with waterproof / washable covers. IttyBittyPups arriving before 8am will get a group leash morning walk. IttyBittyPups staying overnight will get a second group leash walk around 7pm or later, to avoid the heat. I have a doggie door that stays open all day, weather permitting, and a securely fenced in back yard with netting above to protect IttyBittyPups from birds of prey! My two tiny Yorkies LOVE to run and play and wrestle raucously, but gently, with other small dogs. The largest total number of IttyBittyPups here at any given time will be four dogs. So you can be sure your little dog gets the cuddles and attention they deserve!

“I am 100% sure that there is not a better place for Maggie to be than with Claire. Maggie was waiting for me in the mornings to be ready to leave the house and go to day care with Claire and her dogs. Claire sent me pictures and video showing me what a good time Maggie was having. She even took Maggie for long walks. Claire has a very nice property that is perfect for dogs. I can't be happier that Claire can take care of Maggie.”

About: I was raised with Labs, German Shepards and had an active, large extended family with various sized pets to love and keep safe! I will keep them exercised, fed and sleeping well when they are not playing! I work from home and live on 3 1/2 acres on the Pedernales River in Spicewood. Just off Hwy 71 and Pace Bend Road.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. Most recently, I cared for my Goldendoodle, Jaxon, through a long battle with cancer. During that time, I managed medications, post-surgical care, appointments, special feeding routines, and the day-to-day attention needed to keep him comfortable and happy. That experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how important it is to follow each pet's individual routine. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need extra attention, including senior pets or those with medical needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or sleeping in bed, they'll be treated like part of the family in my home. I believe pets deserve plenty of love, affection, and personalized care while their owners are away. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll provide regular communication and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. Because my family owns our business, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work pet care into my day with ease. I can adjust my hours as needed for walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and medication schedules. I'm home most weekends and enjoy spending that time with pets in my care. I know pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. If I need to leave for a short time, I can set up pet cameras so owners can feel confident their furry family member is safe and comfortable. The safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. Before a booking, I am happy to schedule a meet-and-greet so I can learn about your pet's personality, routine, preferences, and any special needs. I believe this helps create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. My home is a clean, smoke-free environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs are welcome on furniture and can sleep in bed if that's what they're accustomed to at home. Since I do not currently have any pets of my own, your pet will receive plenty of individual attention and care. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised to ensure your pet's safety. I take pet safety seriously and always follow leash and security guidelines provided by owners. Having cared for my own Goldendoodle through surgeries, cancer treatments, and medication schedules, I understand the importance of attention to detail and following care instructions carefully. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets that may need extra attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I work to maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of love and companionship, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Hunter is punctual. He made friends with Almond quickly. He took her on a good walk. He is willing to learn the skills Almond has learned from her trainer. He is helpful. I highly recommend Hunter.”

I volunteered at an animal shelter where I would bathe, train, and walk dogs. As well as play with the cats as well! I have a dog who I take on two walks a day and play with other pups when we can!

About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)
About: I am! ...an enthusiastic, yet calm, pet sitter. I take care to make pets as comfortable as possible. I have the patience to let doggie friends develop trust, while maintaining a safe environment. Engaging my doggie friends in activities such as walks, play, positive reinforcements for good behavior, and healthy treats / meals develops their full personalities. I pick up after them as well! Avoiding boredom and anxiety, I’ve found, is the best way to minimize behavioral issues in pets. Like us, they need a creative outlet for all their energy. That’s why I love sharing my walks with canine companions. Plus, a dog walker is far more affordable than a new couch destroyed by separation anxiety, lol. Remember, a healthy dog is a happy dog!!! Part-time ranch caretaker with flexible schedule. I’m available for evenings/ weekends/ and extended stays w advanced notice. Drop-ins within a 20 mile radius also available. Not currently boarding any new animals on the ranch. Focusing on in-home care within climate controlled environments to minimize stress on the animals and their humans. Happy to stay on site during both day & overnight. Pets are my priority. I try to keep them on the schedule they’re most accustom to. I’m not boarding at this time. There are livestock at my location; chicken, lamb, goat, cat, a Great Pyrenees, raccoon, a variety of snake and insects.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Erica took such thoughtful, attentive care of my two senior dogs, both of whom need daily medication and a little extra TLC. She was incredibly patient and gentle, making sure they got their meds on time and giving them all the cuddles they needed to feel at home. Her updates and photos gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear they were comfortable, relaxed, and well loved in her care. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, especially for my older pups. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Maura and Shawn are wonderful! They loved on my pup and provided multiple walks. He seemed to really enjoy his time with them. They also provided several updates throughout the day. I appreciate the open communication and flexibility. Thank you!”
“Malu and family are excellent caretakers. They made sure Odis was happy and active during his stay with walks and even a run! The house, yard and neighborhood set up are a dog’s (and dog owner’s) dream. Their dog Shadow makes for a great companion and Malu’s communication is spot on. You will not regret hiring Malu to care for your pet.”
“This was our pup's first extra-long stay and Chuck went the extra mile to comfort and support him..us. Our pup was happy when went to pick him up and probably would have stayed if we let him.”
“Nikki is our go-to host. Our dogs simply love spending time with her family and dogs. Nikki is super communicative and takes great pictures to show us how much our dogs enjoy their time.”
“Leilani was awesome! She sent me plenty of updates and took care of my dog! She worked with me on my budget and was flexible when my flight was delayed by a few hours. Highly recommend!”
“Two-week stay that went perfectly. Lady received all the attention and care that we would provide at home, perhaps more! We will definitely be using Holly & Brady again in the future.”
“Kristina and her household were an incredible extended family for our dog, Bailey! She was kind, informative, affectionate, and kept us up to date with plenty of pics, videos and messages every day. As we left Kristina’s house, Bailey was genuinely sad to leave, and I get the sense that she can’t wait for next time! Highly recommend Kristina as a crucial part of anyone’s dog care family!”
“Our pups Buck & Bella have stayed with Branden, Stephanie and family several times now and they are truly amazing. From prompt answering when booking, to easy and accommodating pick up and drop off, to caring for our pups. We receive daily photos, quick answer if we have questions during boarding, and pups are happy and tired when we bring them home. We also asked for our 12 year old to get daily walks as she has arthritis and Stephanie agreed to it without a problem. We love that the whole family is involved, the pups get a lot of attention! Thank you all for the peace of mind!”
“Gail is very trustworthy and went above and beyond caring for Rambo when he required extra attention after he sustained an ear injury the day before I left for my trip. This is my second time using Gail as a sitter for my dog and I would use her again.”
“Our dog, Shiner, had the best Christmas Ever with Judy and his new friends. I wasn’t quite sure he was going to want to come home. A big thank you for taking such good care of him. There is nothing better than being able to leave town and know that your dog is in the best care.”
“Nathan and his wife took amazing care of our two dogs and truly treated them like their own. They sent us daily pictures, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time — it honestly felt like they were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible, especially when we almost had a weather-related emergency. When we picked our dogs up, they were excited to see us but also clearly loved staying with Nathan and his wife, which says everything. We’re so thankful for them and will absolutely book with them again. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Yisel and Victor were outstanding with our dogs, providing great care and sharing pictures with us frequently. They even gave us beautiful pictures on film of the pups after their stay. I would highly recommend trusting Yisel and Victor with your pups, they’ll be in great hands.”
“Lily took EXCELLENT care of our dog Dez! She an amazing dog sitter and kept us updated during his stay. We will for sure be reaching back out to Lily for future stays! Thanks Lily!”
“Bethany was great. She sent me frequent pictures of my dog. She looked very comfortable. And I feel very comfortable with her as a sitter and I will use her again.”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
“We can not thank enough Swetha ,Venkatesh and family for taking care of Rocky and Ninja. Rocky has major separation anxiety but Swetha made sure he feels right at home and provided him much needed exercise. She literally hand fed him every day. We received regular photos and updates every single day. It was nice to see them happy and having fun. They took care of our pups like their own. You guys are the BEST!”
“Lacy was the best. She gave lots of love and care to our precious little Balu (Shi tzu). she would send us pictures and Videos to us frequently so that we could have a peaceful vacation”
