Doggy Day Care West Gate

“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: Dog owner for 15 years, professional treat-giver, and expert belly-rub provider. I'm comfortable administering medications and have many years experience with puppies of all ages. I will care for your pup like they're part of my family. I work from home so it's very easy for me to take your pup on as many walks as needed. I also have a huge backyard for lots of games of fetch. I have a dog of my own, so doggie care is ingrained into my lifestyle. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a crate available if requested. I’ll always follow your preferences and your dog’s individual needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s okay with you! My home is very small-dog friendly, as I have a dog and cats of my own. For everyone’s comfort and safety, your dog should be cat-friendly.

“My dog Tuxx had a wonderful stay for daycare. Rachel and Justine were super kind, welcoming and even took adorable photos of Tuxx. Thank you for taking care of him - would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Amanda and Jared were super sweet people! Amanda took great care of our dog who has separation anxiety. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and assured our dog received the best care. I would 100% book her again!”

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 have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8, whether it was my own dog, one in the neighborhood, or in shelters and I love it! I just graduated college and am hoping to do some pet care while I look for a job, because of this my schedule is very open! I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs in my home and in others’ homes. The safety and happiness of a dog in my care will always be my top priority, and I know that looks a little different for each dog parent!

“Honey felt right at home, and I was able to relax and know she was happy and safe. I appreciated the updates throughout the day. I will definitely be happy to use Sam for her dog sitting services in the future!”

“Jackson came back and slept for hours! Happy he got some play time in. We are in town to watch my son race at COTA and with the Austin temps so high couldn’t bring Jackson to the track with us. I didn’t want to leave him in the hotel room all day. Great communication.”

Michelle D.

“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!!”

Mackenzie C.

“Her pets were nice to my dog.”

Billy Z.

“Jeany is the best. She cared for my 13 year old doodle who had just had his toe removed. He had a cone and needed medicine. She provides top notch care!”

Bethany W.

“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.”

Sarah P.

“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!”

Heather W.

“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 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.

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.
