“Hugo throughly enjoyed his stay with Susan over Christmas. She updated me daily with their many excursions- hikes, dog parks etc and Hugo came home exhausted and happy. Our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t fly out until the following day, Susan was accommodating and able to help us out of a tough situation. Thanks for taking such great care of him Susan!!”

“Lily was awesome with our little boy, Bando. She constantly sent us pictures and updated us on how Bando was adjusting. Bando will definitely be seeing Lily again next time we leave town!”
4. Manuela Diaz H.
“Manuela is a FANTASTIC rover - great communication, wonderful with my dog Cooper, and flexible when my plans changed. She sent multiple pictures/videos a day and Cooper came back happy and tired after playing with their dog Morgan. I was nervous leaving Coop while I traveled but Manuela really gave me peace of mind. I’ve already booked another stay for Coop and would highly recommend Manuela!”
5. Chris N.
“Chris was a GREAT host! Was able to keep our little buddy during a busy spring break week with not a lot of notice. Sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated! Even gave him a bath and brought him to our apartment when we got back. Very nice guy and a very good host!”
6. Rose V.
“Rose and her home are a great place for Paxton! Rose is attentive and kind. Paxton loved staying with her and making friends with her little chihuahua. Rose was very helpful with making sure Paxton ate his medicine daily. We can’t wait for Paxton to stay with her again the next time we are traveling. Thank you, Rose!”
7. Alexa M.
“I had a great experience with Alexa! Quick replies and clear communication throughout the whole process. She also sent pics during the stay which were appreciated. My dog seemed very comfortable with her and came back tired from lots of play. Highly recommend for a seamless Rover experience.”
8. Brandy C.
“Brandy was amazing with Garfunkel, sending pictures and updates. It was obvious he was very comfortable with the stay and had a blast (and passed out the entire first day back from all the fun he had).”
9. Regan & James R.
“Regan and James did a wonderful job taking care of my boy while I was away! He can be anxious in new spaces and they were very patient and sent me many pictures. Thank you both so much!”
10. James T.
“James was great! I could tell Apollo was having a good time and was in a great mood when I picked him up. It seems like his dog and mine became best friends. Would be my first choice for dog sitting services”
11. Lisa B.
“Lisa was a great sitter! She watched our pup Blake for 7+ days, and he had a great time with her. Her yard was perfect for Blake to run around and I appreciated all of the picture updates while we were out of town!”
12. Catherine E.
“Catherine and Nelson took great care of Adler while I was out of town for three nights. I knew when we first met that I could trust Catherine - she knows how to handle dogs and understood my dog's "special needs". She sent regular updates and pictures to reassure me that Adler was in good hands. I highly recommend Catherine!”
13. Tyler E.
“Tyler is great with my Stella. He sends me photo updates and she’s in good spirits when I pick her up. It’s comforting to know she’s with Tyler when I’m away.”
14. Noelle & Angel H.
“Fran had the best time ever at Noelle and Angel’s house!!! We could not have asked for a better situation. We got so many videos of her playing in the yard with their pups and getting so many cuddles. She will be back to stay sometime soon! ❤️❤️”
15. Jean-Paul & Andrea H.
“Jean-Paul was so communicative and so very helpful! Edison (who can be pretty grumpy) seemed very content and happy while he was at their house, and i got load of photos and information. I would absolutely use these guys again to watch our dog!”

17. Ryan P.
“Ryan and Val watched our furbaby while we were out of town. They sent plenty of photos and updates. They were also super flexible for pick up when our flight was delayed. We feel so lucky to have found them in Austin. Will definitely use them the next time we have a trip.”
18. Ryan U.
“Ryan was amazing with my little chihuahua. She was so thorough making sure she knew every detail and need. She sent TONS of photos and videos which made me feel so comfortable and confident he was in great hands while I was away.”
19. Melissa M.
“Melissa was AMAZING! I can’t say enough how happy we were with her. Our dog, Arya, got along well with her sweet pup, Mika. Melissa sent me daily updates - once in the morning and once in the evening - letting me know how Arya was doing. Melissa went above and beyond to make sure Arya was comfortable during her stay. She took Arya on daily walks with Mika, and I loved hearing how the two pups had plenty of play time. She’s become a quick favorite. I know Arya already misses her, and we can’t wait to book with Melissa again!”
20. Chris R.
“Chris did a great job caring for my puppy Charlie while I was on vacation. He sent me frequent updates, photos, and videos. I will definitely be using Chris again in the future!”

Why do dog owners love Austin?
The capital of Texas, the 11th most populous city in the United States, and the home of keeping things weird, Austin is a unique and vibrant city that attracts people from all over the country. Home to the Texas State Capitol, the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium, it's got plenty of great landmarks to enjoy. And with tons of great parks, amazing Tex-Mex and Texas barbecue restaurants - plus over 1,000 operating food trucks - and an eclectic live music scene, Austin is a destination city not just to visit but to live in, especially for dog owners and pet parents. This city of 931,830 people regularly shows up on lists of the most dog-friendly cities in America and features great dog boarding options like Rover available throughout the city.
Why choose Rover dog boarding in Austin?
In-home dog boarding in Austin is a great option for most dog owners. With Rover, instead of going to an unknown large facility, your dog stays in the comfort of your dog sitter's home. Your dog gets to spend one-on-one time with a loving sitter who'll treat them like part of their family.
What are some great parks in Austin for dog walks?
Austin is absolutely full of great dog parks. With at least 16 parks to visit with your pup, there are acres and acres of green space and off-leash areas to explore and enjoy. Parks like the 13-acre Red Bud Isle feature a wide expanse of open area where your dog can play with other dogs and swim off leash. The park at Mills Pond, accessible from the north end of Wells Port Drive or off Bratton Lane, offers a chance to take your dog for a lovely stroll and watch the locals do some fishing in the early morning or evening. Also, be sure to check out Auditorium Shores (between the former Palmer Auditorium and the shores of Lady Bird Lake), and not just for the doggy showers after your pup takes a dip. The park is also a place for outdoor concerts, and you can even find a memorial statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
What Austin neighborhoods are good for dogs and pet parents?
There's so much to enjoy in Austin, including a quirky collection of neighborhoods, each with their own appeal. Take Central Austin neighborhood Hyde Park, which dates back to 1891 and is considered Austin's first suburb. You're more likely to find cute bakeries - including the Eater.com-approved Quack's 43rd St Bakery, home to massive cookies and incredible cakes - and nice neighbors than noisy bars or loud nightlife there. Same for Barton Hills, which might just be the best place in Austin to raise a dog. Bordering Lady Bird Lake, the neighborhood features Zilker Metropolitan Park and tons of lush green spaces to spend time out in nature with your pup. Barton Creek runs through the whole neighborhood, lending a feeling of always being out in nature. You can check out an authentic corner of Austin in Clarksville. West of downtown Austin, right near the always entertaining 6th Street and bordering the Johnson Creek Greenbelt, it's home to Treaty Oak, a state landmark as well as the first Whole Foods Market, originally opened in 1979 as the Clarksville Natural Grocery.
