“Erik G and wife did an amazing job caring for my dog! They sent pictures after each drop in and followed instructions throughly. I would definitely recommend and book with them again!!!!”
“Prayas did a fantastic job caring for my dogs. He gave them cuddles fed and watered them and was super attentive. He had no issue handling both dogs and was a great communicator”
“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”
“Nuith took excellent care of my cat and dog while we were away on a weekend trip. We requested very last minute and she was able to work with us and come meet our pets. We received pictures and updates and had no worries about leaving our animals for the weekend!”
“Amiah was very friendly, communicated with me during each visit, and took wonderful care of my dog! She sent pictures, played with him, and gave him his medication at the requested times! My dog got a small cut prior to Amiah taking care of him and she ensured that it stayed clean while we were gone. I highly recommend Amiah and will definitely be asking her to care for my dog in the future.”
About: (New to Jonestown, from Houston!) I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals from a very young age. I realize I had a knack for caring for animals and also training animals. I dove into dogs psychology, and just kept learning more about how dogs communicate with each other and the boundaries that dogs set that goes unnoticed by humans and the respect that each dog needs to be given to earn their complete trust I am currently work as a realtor who just also really enjoys spending time out doors and with my dogs. So I decided that why shouldn’t I make others peoples lives easier by helping care for their dogs, I am already outdoors or just out an about. Let me care for others pets the way I would like my pets to be cared for. I have a completely fenced yard 8ft high. All gates are have a self shutting mechanisms. As an added layer to the protection of my yard. All gates have signs that indicate dogs are in the yard and gates MUST be shut at all times. I also carry a doggy fanny pack with an extra leash and treats to ensure comfort for the pets and their parents at all times when transporting them.

I have worked in a doggy daycare and at a vet clinic before so I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am able to crate any dogs if necessary and I’m happy to bring them to my fenced in back yard to play with my dog if the owner allows it
“This is my second time booking Kayla to watch my dog, and she’s truly amazing! The first time I was out for vacation and booked Kayla to watch my dog overnight for a few days. She was the first River sitter I used, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She is incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs and gave him the right amount of love and cuddles. She cleaned my apartment and sent several updates on my puppy while I was away which made me feel so much better about being away from my dog. I booked her again for a drop in visit and will be booking again as needed! Can’t recommend enough!”
“Sarah was great...she provided detailed information, sent amazing pictures and overall the dogs seemed to have a good time. Will definitely request her again, and suggest others do the same!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lago Vista
Melissa did a fantastic job and we will definitely hire her again. We went on vacation and did not want to worry about our dogs and Melissa did such a great job we didn't have to worry and were able to enjoy the vacation. She is punctual and followed all directions and was sure to keep in touch with us. She somehow was able to pet my chihuahua who is very leery of people so that was a huge plus! One of my dogs had an "accident" and she took the time to clean up as well as wash all dogs bowls and other items used to take care of them. THANK YOU MELISSA!
We absolutely love her! She’s always on time, takes amazing care of both our dogs and our home, and truly treats them like her own. We really appreciate the thoughtful updates and all the pictures she sends—it gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lago Vista stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lago Vista choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lago Vista with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
