About: I've got lots of love to give to pets of all shapes and sizes! I have taken care of dogs since I was young and I know the basics of taking care of a cat. I'm hoping you'll let me into your life to give lots of love to your furry friend! I currently work full time with the elementary school as a paraprofessional! Due to this, I am typically only available on holidays but I love getting to spend them with your furry friends. Looking forward to working for you! I have one friendly dog to keep your friend company and can easily crate his if need be. I will always put your pets safety first and will keep any plants not safe for pets in a space that they cannot access.

“I requested Katy’s services on short notice and couldn’t be happier. She asked all the right questions and was communicative and reassuring. My cats are a tad shy but she was able to coax them out of their shells for play time and pets. She was thorough and respectful and I will absolutely be booking with her in the future! Thanks, Katy!”

“Kathlyn was great!! So easy to work with and her communication was fast and clear. Even our older cat who never comes out for a stranger made an appearance for her! :) We will be using her again. Thanks again Kat!”

“Kayla is amazing. This is the second time she has taken care of my two dogs and they get so excited to see her. She’s reliable, prompt and communicates really well.”

About: I have taken care of dogs in all stages of life since becoming an adult, and have room in my heart for taking care of your pets as if they were my own. I've administered medications of all sorts, as well as late stage organ failure care (subcutaneous fluids). Pet care has the ability to be my entire day, and I am willing to take pets on outings as well! Let me love your pets and take them to their favorite places. I cannot care for pets in my home at this time in life because I am living with a roommate whom has a dog that doesn’t make friends hardly ever and likes it that way. While there are plenty of times she has shared space with others and could there are other reasons to not introduce more dogs to my home outside of that. Therefore, my care would be given in the home of the pet owners and their space respected and maintained.

About: I have had the pleasure of growing up with many animals all my life (Dogs, Cats, fish, turtles, guinea pigs, horses, etc.). Any animal that I ever had, their care was solely my responsibility (Bathing, feeding, exercise, grooming, medication, entertainment and cuddles). I was taught to respect and value the space of creatures, and to never compromise their comfort or safety for the entertainment of yourself. From petting a dog on the sidewalk, to being entrusted to taking care of others fur babies, I will always live by that rule of thumb with each and every animal under my care. I’m currently only ‘Rovering’, on days I know that I could be available all day for your pup! I make sure I am available to take MANY potty breaks, and I like to take at least one good walk a day just to get some good air! Especially before going to bed or right after waking up in the morning! Parents: Please pack a few toys, or blankets so they can feel comfortable with their own little items from home! The toys will be put to good use! I will feed them to the times that you normally would, just as if they were at home. I don’t believe in changing the way you have always cared for them! I have a gated backyard, to be able to fetch and have some runaround time. I never introduce other dogs, unless permitted to do so with your pup. I board one pet/family of animals at a time, to avoid any unnecessary conflict or harm that might come from two animals not knowing each other. I will not invite other individuals to meet or play with your puppy, if you do not allow it. During my hosting, I will NEVER invite strangers into my home, or allow them to look after your pet in any way. (Respecting the owners wish of care is my top priority).

“Grateful for Nessa. Our 3 fur babes were happy and well fed when we got back from our trip. We were able to book Nessa on short notice and she was fantastic. This was the second time we book her because we had a great first experience. We have 3 cats and they all eat different food and its a mix of wet and dry kibble, Nessa knocked it out of the park. Thank you again.”

About: I was a vet assistant in my 20s and had a regular client roster of dogs and cats that I would watch, walk, and care for. Now that I’m back in school, getting my master’s, I’m looking for opportunities to make extra money and this seemed like the obvious answer. I have 6 cats and a dog at home and have been regularly taking care of animals my whole life. I’d love the opportunity to take care of yours! I have experience giving medication, and caring for skittish cats and elderly animals. I am currently going to school part-time (remotely) and working part-time, so I have plenty of availability to care for your furkids—plus the break from studying is always welcomed. In your home, I will follow the directions you provide and ensure that all safety precautions are taken. My own dog is an escape artist, so I’m well-versed in taking extra precautions for pups that like to try to make a run for it whenever the door is open.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—since the day I was born, they’ve been a constant part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with them, whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to help with feeding, grooming, walks, playtime, and even caring for senior dogs who may need a little extra attention. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I can visit your home for walks, feeding, playtime, or drop-in visits as needed. My schedule is open on weekdays and weekends, so I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as I do my own. I follow your specific instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medications, or favorite toys—to keep your pet feeling safe and happy. I always prioritize your pet’s well-being and will ensure they’re secure, loved, and looked after in their own familiar environment.

About: Hi, y’all. My name is Claudia. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes. Let me know your pet’s specific needs, and I’ll make sure it’s done with great care and lots of love. Many of my clients have been with me for several years now. They’re not on Rover, so the few reviews you’ll see here are not indicative of anything. I don’t only sit cats and dogs. I feed some herds of pigs and flocks of chickens too. If the vibes are right, the answer is yes. I do it all. Also, I’m bilingual. I speak Spanish. Hablo español! I just started a page (CCTX Pet Sitting and Dog Walking) over on FB. I post information about my current schedule and lots of pet photos and videos. Check it out! Although rare, there are times when I simply cannot accommodate. When I can, your dog(s) will be my priority. I will walk your pet frequently (if you want), and I can make sure they get lots of playtime and love. Please make sure the hours are correct on your request. —start and end. My schedule is constantly changing, so please make your request(s) as soon as you think you may need a sitter/walker. As previously stated, the majority of my clients are not through Rover; I haven’t been using the app. very long. I’ve had many people, already this year, who have waited too long, so I have had to decline bookings. You can never book too early. —Even if it’s just a heads up, I’d appreciate it. Also, I think it’s important to note that Rover takes 20% of all bookings. This is why my clients are off the app.. I know it seems like a lot when you’re adding it all up, so I think it’s important for you to know that. If a service is $55, I only keep $44. I love what I do. I love dogs, and I promise when yours are with me, I’m giving them the best care. I will do as you ask while pet sitting in your home. Let me know your pet’s schedule or needs, and I will accommodate accordingly. If your dog is okay with nail trims and needs one while in my care, let me know. I usually have my nail tools with me. As far as walks go, let me know if they like other dogs/cats/people, if they’re reactive to anything, or any other important details. *Please let me know if your dog is reactive to anything. It’s not an issue at all. I have a dog that’s reactive, so I completely understand. I just want to know what it is so that we can avoid it. I want your pet to be happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care.

About: I love dogs. My past pet experience are amazing dogs are the most pure-hearted animals I know. One comment I get a lot of that I attracted a lot of animals, cats too. I love cats as much as dogs, one think that will set me apart from other sitters is that I want the dog to trust me. I want the dogs I take care of to see me as someone that they are ok with and not someone that is just there to watch them. I want them to enjoy the time with me as much as I will enjoy my time with them. Cats as well I want your animals to trust me as much as you will trust me to take care of them. i’m currently in school with no job but i will work after and on weekends, i love animals and don’t mind spending most my time with them. i live with my mom and we have a big yard(1.8 acres) so they live running out side and i have a big room with lots of space and a big bed so animals can lay on it.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember, growing up with more than 4 dogs and my most recent jobs being in dog training, Dog grooming and animal nutrition.

I am dedicated to taking care of animals for the rest of my life wether that be training dogs, Grooming or taking care of your pups! I’m currently working on building my own at home Dog grooming business so I’ll have plenty of time to handle all of your pups needs! I love taking care of animals and putting your mind at ease while your fur baby’s with me. Trust is a foundation in any relationship, and with your animals I’m determined to earn it!

About: Hello! My name is Yari and my husband is Colby! We both are Army veterans who just moved to Lockhart last December and we are so happy to be here. I’ve taken care of my parents elderly dog (Nacho the pug) for all of his life (all of 16 years) and my Luna for 12 years. I dog sit/ in-home check-ins for my friends and family’s dogs when they go on vacation a few times a year. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have a BIG fenced yard with 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house and yard.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I dog sit for friends and family and figured I would try to go outside of that because I love it so much I am available Friday morning until sunday evening. Feeding, walking, bathing. I do it every day with the 3 puppies of my own. I love them all I have a small fenced front yard but also am able to take them on a walk on my acre backyard. I am also ok with the pups sleeping in bed with me.

“I don’t deserve you!!! Sylvia is the absolute best!!!! Going above and beyond always with Xolo!!! We love her!”

“Corina did such a great job taking care of my kitty and home while I was away for a while. She sent photos daily and offered updates on things happening around my house too. She cleaned up her linens even though I’d told her not to worry about it, so that was unexpected and nice. A great caretaker for sure!”

Melanie H.

“Lianne was very easy to communicate with and she took great care of my dog, Clem! She was flexible on timing and adjusted as I changed things. I am sure my dog loved having her drop in to our house to play with her and let her out and she shared photos and useful info after her visits.”

Chelsea W.

“Mary was great! We were very nervous about leaving our kitty for the first time. Mary took excellent care of her and kept us updated with photos and a report of each visit. Highly recommended!”
