Highly-rated overnight sitters - Colton
“Adriana was fantastic. She communicated very well and was consistently keeping me posted on my pup. She also was very flexible with pickup and drop off and is in a super convenient location to the airport. Will definitely be re-booking!”
“Artemis doesn’t typically have zoomies at home but when she was boarding with Lilia she had the zoomies. This was clear sign that she had a fun time with Lilia and the other small dogs. Lilia is amazing at taking care of all them and making them feel at home. This was the first time I ever left Artemis with anyone for an extended period of time and I’m so glad Lilia was available to watch her. I highly recommend Lilia and her services!!”
“Amanda was fantastic! You could tell she is a dog lover and took great care of my two boys. The daily pictures gave me great peace of mind as I was gone for a week. Will def use again.”
“10/10 every time! Will always choose Amanda and Jared to watch our pup. Our doggy is truly apart of their family and he loves them! He’s high energy and always comes home happy and exhausted.”
“Sossi goes the extra mile for our senior dog Scully. She needs extra care sometimes and Sossi is always reliable while we are away from our sweet beagle. Highly recommended.”
“Yesenia was absolutely amazing! My pup has a quirky personality, and she was incredibly sweet, patient, and welcoming from the start. She took wonderful care of him and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while I was away. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind and were always a highlight of my day. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time with his new friend. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Yesenia with my pup again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with my doggies! Super communicative, flexible, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally at ease knowing my pups were in great hands. I also appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay!!”
“Ashley and her family took such amazing care of Momo. She took cute pictures and sent me updates throughout the day which made me feel at peace. I could tell Momo had a great time at Ashley’s. He went for walks as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will reach out to take care of Momo again!”
“Stevie was very reliable, professional & kind. She provided a wonderful environment for my pup, Daisy. My pup had so much fun and I knew that she was well-taken care of. Will definitely be back!”

“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!”
“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!”
“River had a great stay. He’s a high-energy chocolate lab, and they handled him really well. We got consistent updates and photos without having to ask, which I appreciated. He looked comfortable the whole time and got plenty of playtime and walks. Communication was easy and they were flexible with timing and his collar setup. Everything felt really smooth. Already booked with them 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!”
“My pup Sadie loved her stay with Marc and his pup. She got exercise and attention and I got regular updates throughout her stay. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in boarding their dog and not sure how they will do to try Marc and his pup. Marc was great and if needed again, I would be happy to use his services again.”
“Elijah was fantastic and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog. It was our first time boarding and I felt confident leaving her once I met him and Zee.”

She’s so caring, sends many updates, and loves buying special treats for the dogs. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Finley is looking forward for his next stay with Aimee 🥰.”

I felt like I had no worries with her checking in and it was nice to come back to a clean house and a very happy cat.”

We recently lost our furry friend and I’m hoping to have more pets in my life through Rover I currently have a flexible remote job that easily allows me to work in pet care and frequent walks. I’m new-ish to Austin and love getting out to explore. My fiancé and I currently have no other pets in our home, and out of extra precaution, I only sit for one family at a time. We have a nice, big fenced in backyard for playing ball as well as multiple walking and park areas close by

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover (yes, my first email was animalluver4life@hotmail). I grew up with nine dogs — each with their own Christmas stocking — and now have two pups and one very loved cat at home. I’ve cared for senior dogs, special needs pets, and cats of all kinds. Whether your pet wants cuddles or space, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I do Rover full time, so your pet gets my undivided attention and lots of love while you’re away. They’re always treated like part of the family! I have been told I’m kind of a “helicopter parent” when it comes to my dogs but that comes in handy when dog sitting! I have a fenced yard, two little dogs, and animals are allowed on furniture! I am fine with separating my dogs, if that’s preferred - I have the space! Guests will have first priority, of course. I have experience with crated dogs and do have my own large crate here.
“They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home! Extra special thanks to Katherine because our flight coming back was delayed several times and she was so nice being flexible with having to change pickup time. Would definitely recommended!!”
“Jake came home happy and exhausted from playing with other dogs. Hurray! I trust Paul and Karina totally. Jake really likes them and I know he is safe, exercised and happy them.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time!

About: As a lifelong cat owner, I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from bottle babies and energetic kittens to senior cats over 15 years old. I’ve also cared for cats with special medical and behavioral needs, including diabetes and age-related cognitive challenges. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat enjoys lots of playtime and attention or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. My availability varies depending on classes and work, but I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and needs to help them feel secure while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving reliable and loving care.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a proud Great Dane mom to two gentle giants, I'm very comfortable handling large breeds, but I adore dogs of every shape and size. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or prefers to spend the day relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, attentive hands. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've volunteered with PVAC and Austin Pets Alive!, where I've worked with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. Their well-being, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know every dog is unique, and I'll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, my schedule already revolves around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I make sure every pet in my care gets the time, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. My dogs get a lot of love. Constant cuddles, pets and treats. 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.
About: I’ve taken care of 3 Samoyeds most of my life, after their passing i’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I am able to handle very large pups and very tiny pups!! I grew up learning how to take care of my oldest Samoyed (12) all the way to my youngest Samoyed (1). I love going for long walks and I know your dog does too!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, and other animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family had numerous animals over the years that I assisted in training and caregiving. I have two pups of my own that were both rescued and trained. I am familiar with dogs who are reactive or have behavior problems. I trained my dogs in basic commands, agility, and search and find. I treat all animals like they are my own, so please contact me if there is anything special about your pet that I should know! I am currently taking some time off from work, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies. I am always happy to provide extra pets and snuggles to those who love a little extra attention. If there are any specifics I need to know about you, your home, or fur baby, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.
