“Michael did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs for 11 days. They came back happy and healthy and tired too. We so appreciate them. Our dogs are pretty energetic at 1 and 3 years old.”
“Our first time using Rover and it was a complete success. Allison was so easy to work with. Quick communication and kept us updated with pictures on our elderly schnauzer, Truffle. Truffle needed medication twice a day and Allison was happy to take care of that.”
“Sofía and her family took amazing care of Molkas! Great communication, attentive, and very loving. He was in such good hands. Without a doubt, I will leave Molkas with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Taryn was wonderful for our sensitive and anxious boy, Charlie! Charlie is a small yorkie mix, missing most of his teeth, and needing special care with feeding and infrequent potty accidents caused by his anxiety. Taryn was a perfect match for taking care of him for a week while we were away. She provided excellent care and was very willing to follow our instructions for what Charlie needed. We will definitely be using Taryn again when we need to go away for a trip.”
“Nikki is our go-to host. Our dogs simply love spending time with her family and dogs. Nikki is super communicative and takes great pictures to show us how much our dogs enjoy their time.”
“Erik and his family took such wonderful care of our pup. 🐶❤️They were attentive, kind, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a happy, well-loved dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care they provided.”

“Whitney has now watched my dog twice and he has really warmed up and gotten very comfortable in her care. She continually provides updates and pictures on how he is doing and what they are doing. She even took him to visit the Austin Botanical Gardens this time which he looked like he thoroughly enjoyed! I will continue to use Whitney's services for my dog's care and highly recommend her!”
“Chuck was very accommodating, flexible and a great sitter for my Lab. He communicated well, provided frequent photos and updates, and gave insightful recommendations and feedback. I would highly recommend his services.”
“Shannon and Ray are incredible!! we have two dogs, one of which is only one years old and a bit of a handful. They dealt with her antics with laughter and love, I cannot recommend Shannon and Ray enough! Best Rover ever 👏👏👏”
“Megan was a great dog sitter for Captain. She did a great job taking care of him and sending me updates. She was prompt in her responses and very flexible in terms of scheduling. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Wonderful petsitters! I know Franklin had a great time at this loving home. Will definitely be back if available when needed. Thank you Arie and Etty! I felt he was in great hands. Made it easier to leave him.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach, lifelong experience with both cats and dogs, and the deep sense of purpose I take in pet care. I’m highly reliable, attentive to subtle cues, and focused on creating a low-stress, loving environment, especially for sensitive or anxious pets. I treat every animal as an individual, not a routine. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I work from home 15–25 hours per week, which allows me to be consistently present and provide calm, attentive supervision throughout the day, rather than rushed or intermittent care. I also provide calm, in-home care focused on safety, structure, and individualized attention. In my home, I host only one cat-friendly dog at a time to ensure a peaceful environment for all animals, including my three resident cats. I maintain a quiet, low-stimulation home where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, with consistent supervision throughout their stay. For care in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. My priority is gentle, attentive care, clear communication, and a stress-free experience. Dogs must be well-behaved and cat-friendly for boarding in my home.
“Aine was a great sitter for Axl and her dog Fionn became besties with our dog :). We got lots of updates and pics all along. Our dog came back looking happy and healthy! Would highly recommend Aine!”
“Amy was wonderful!!! She took such great care of Teddy while we were away, kept me updated and sent pictures of his stay. Teddy was one happy dog, we will definitely use Amy again :)”
“This was our first time having our dog stay with anyone other than family. We were anxious about how this may go but after our first communication I knew Paula and her family would treat our guy like their own. Paula sent pics and shared text updates nearly every day. I was absolutely confident our pup was being very well taken care of. It was such a relief to have found her and her family! We’re hugely appreciative”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeway
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!!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.

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 .
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.
