“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
About: I work from home, so I'm home all day with our mini Labradoodle—and I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as well! I walk Luke twice during the work day and have a fenced yard where your pet can play safely. I look forward to the chance to meet your pup! I work from home during the week, which gives me the flexibility to take your pet on regular walks and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a nearby dog park in our neighborhood, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and socialization. I know how important it is to keep them active, happy, and engaged.
“Sive was great! They took the dogs out for walks, runs and sent tons of pictures. I think my dogs like her more than they like me!! I would definitely let them take care of my dogs again.”
“Stephanie and her family took fabulous care of Tuxedo! Their house is setup amazing for an active dog like Tux. Huge background. Can come in and out 24/7. I couldn’t imagine a more ideal environment for Tux! Stephanie is also great about sending picture updates in the morning and evening. It made me feel very comfortable while I was away for 6 nights!! Would highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for families for almost 5 years now in all capacities from their home to my home, and pop-up visits! Experience administering all kinds of medications and nurturing sick dogs post surgeries or in their old age. I’m a huge fan of cuddling and love, but will also abide by any training habits and routines you have set for your pet! I’m currently unemployed and can dedicate maximum amount of my time to your pet! As many bathroom breaks and walks as needed with maximum attention given! I have a back yard that is unfenced but very private up on a hill. I have my own 2 year old dog as well and never leave her or any other dogs unattended outside. We love to go for as many walks as needed and will spend ample time cuddling and playing. My dog is very friendly and loves having company in the house, she play really well with all dogs!
“As always… we loved having Zhian watch Bo and all the pictures and communication, made our time away from him so smooth because we can tell Bo was always so happy and enjoying and feels right at home. Thank you so much for all the love and care. Bo misses you already and is looking forward to next time!”

“Maegan and her daughter were fabulous! I was worried my dog might be a lot to handle. Maegan assured me she was familiar with the breed I have. Updates and pictures were sent. I could see my dog was attaching herself to Maegan’s daughter. And I knew she was getting a lot of attention. It was great!”

“We are so glad we had our dog Kylo stay with Holly! She’s very responsive, sent us lots of updates and photos, and was incredibly flexible and understanding when we needed to push out our flight and have Kylo stay one extra night with her. We recommend Holly to anyone who is looking for a reliable caretaker.”

“My dog had a great time overnight at Denise's house! Denise was very communicative and sent photos and updates of Duncan during his stay. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Her backyard was great for small dogs - plenty of space to romp but no way for them to escape. I would leave my pup with her again! Thanks Denise.”
“My pup got lots of cuddles and attention and didn't seem to have any agitation when we arrived home, which means she felt safe and comfortable with Jeremy & Marshall. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeway
What a great family to leave our furry loved one with. There were 2 other canine friends to play with built in as well as a charming young human friend. Our Sheltie was taken on walks to local parks and had all the outdoor time she wanted. Drop-off and pick-up went exactly as planned, which is very important for those of us on our way out of and back into town. 10/10 highly recommend
Lucia was wonderful! I could tell that our pup was being well taken care of and loved from the updates and photos she shared. She even accommodated our last minute need to add in another night of care. I'd highly recommend her and we'd happily use her again and again!
Our girl Charlie has stayed with Merideth & Lance a couple of times. Each stay has been great! Merideth always sends updates and pictures and gives Charlie lots of love! We can tell that Charlie enjoys her stays because she’s always so happy upon her return! I highly recommend Merideth and Lance!
Can’t say enough good things about the experience with Mercedes! She and her daughter are so kind, communicative, and patient. This was our first time leaving our puppy and I could tell that he had the best time with them. They sent us daily photo updates which were so fun to have while we were away. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Rover and we will definitely be booking again!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lakeway is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lakeway can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakeway home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lakeway.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeway. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lakeway sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
