“We booked Amber to drop in on our dogs after a meet and greet. I am impressed with Amber’s professionalism from the moment we first communicated, to her punctuality, and patience with me as I learn Rover’s system for the first time. Amber also displayed appropriate knowledge of reading my dog’s behavior and treating my pets with kindness. I plan to use Amber’s services for our future needs.”
About: “Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I offer walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to send photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’d love to help!” “I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be highly available for pet care throughout the day. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, and attentive companionship, and I enjoy giving pets plenty of time, attention, and exercise.” “I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is important, and I take that responsibility very seriously every time without exception.”
About: I have a special place in my heart for animals. I’m always dog sitting for friends, volunteering at the shelters and fostering when it’s possible. I currently work part time as a nurse so I have time for daily walks and/or sitting when needed :) Love every minute I spend with fur babies :) I work along with the restrictions carried out by the owner. I understand that every home has different rules for their fur children to be cared for safely.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a little girl and have passed the love I have for them down to my dog loving kiddos too! I currently don’t have any pets, so my time at home with my daughter is pretty free. We volunteer at APA, but would love a dog at home too! We make sure to have fun with them and give them lots of love. We also always make sure that they are on the best behavior and don’t miss out on being polite around furniture and such. Movement is a big factor that we love to encourage dogs to do even if it is a little walk!
“Jordan did a phenomenal job with Ivy while we were away. She was prompt with her visits and we appreciated the detailed updates and photos. We will definitely book again for future travel!”
“Willow was fantastic! Both of my kitties immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her! That’s really all I can ask for but she also followed my feeding instructions to a T, and was very respectful of my space- even cleaned their food bowls for me before she left on her last visit! I will definitely be a repeat client 😄”
“Jessica was wonderful! Our two cats quickly warmed up to her and she cared for them exactly as I requested. The house was left in perfect condition and we came home to happy pets!”
“This was my first time to use a pet sitter. I was very pleased with Rachel, and my dog and cat really like her! Seeing them so happy and relaxed when I got home made me feel so much better about having to leave them. I would definitely book Rachel again!”
About: Whether your furry friend is a standoffish cat, a hyper dog, or an opera-singing bird, I am the capable caretaker you can trust to suit their needs and make them feel safe + loved! My schedule as a pet sitter is open to any client! On a trip to see family? Only gone for an hour or two? No problem! I can come over day or night. Whatever your animal needs, I can provide! I do not currently board at my own home, but am available to sit/walk your pet in your area.
About: I host dogs for several neighbors and friends regularly. I have had several dogs over the years, but lost my older golden retriever 3 years ago. I work from home and spend most of my time in the kitchen and outdoor space. I like to go on walks and hike on neighborhood trails. I have a large fenced yard for playing. Pets sit with me and follow me around the house to my work desk or my kitchen when I cook. They are my snuggly family member while in my home, since my teens don’t want it :)
About: I didn’t set out to become a dog sitter; it just happened naturally. A friend needed help with their dog, then a neighbor, then a coworker. Ten years later, I’m still doing it, and still loving every minute of it. What I’ve learned from caring for dozens of dogs over the years is that every single one is different. Some need a lot of stimulation and adventure. Some need calm reassurance and a gentle hand. I’ve worked with big dogs and tiny ones, young puppies and senior pups, social butterflies and dogs who take a while to warm up. The ones who take a while to warm up are honestly my favorites. I treat every home I enter and every dog I care for with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. You’ll always know how your dog is doing. I send photos and updates throughout every visit because I know that’s what matters most when you’re away. My sweet spot is Wednesday evenings through the weekend, that’s when I’m most available and love filling my schedule with new pups! I’m flexible and quick to respond, so if you’re not sure whether I’m free, just message me. Chances are, I can make it work! Good news, I come to you! All of my services take place in your home, which means your pup never has to leave their safe space. I bring the love, you provide the couch. During house sits, your dog runs the show; furniture, bed, all of it is fair game. I’m there to make sure they feel like nothing has changed, just with a new best friend temporarily in charge. I handle medication, special routines, anxious personalities, and everything in between without batting an eye. Your home gets treated like my own tidy, respected, and exactly how you left it. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I know where the nearest 24-hour vets in Austin are and will always prioritize your dog’s safety. The bottom line? Your dog will be so comfortable they might not even miss you. Almost.
“Iva was able to help us last minute — on a holiday, at that! We did a phone call before our departure and I could already tell she’d be a great sitter for my cat. She spent ample time with her and made sure my shy kitty felt loved and safe. I have already booked Iva again! I highly recommend her.”
About: Austinite-I have had many animals as my children were growing up. Now i miss the connection and have the time to meet and care for your animals. Wanting to grow my sitting experience I work monday thru friday but I have plenty of time to be with your animal in the morning and afternoon and anytime on the weekends. I take the utmost pride in connecting with animal, i like to give them affection and care that they need. I am very clean and responsible with these precious creatures.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I give my whole heart to furry friends and love learning, communicating, and playing with them! I have great experience with both cats and dogs (big and small). Coming from Houston, I have great experience with organizations such as G.R.A.S.S where I learned to care for dogs with various needs. I have been part of the TNR program within my neighborhood in order to keep streets cat friendly! Within that, I have fostered cats (feral and domestic). I work remotely on my own schedule but spend a lot of time outside. I am flexible with hours and would love to discuss what works best for YOU! I understand that all animals have habits and needs of their own. From allergies to uncontrollable bladders, I can give my word that I will provide the upmost care for your pet.
About: Hi! I'm Ivi and I can't wait to take care of your pets! I am super into fitness/sports and I love dogs!:) |’ve been involved with Austin Pets Alive for years walking the dogs on Lady Bird Lake to get them the exercise and love they deserve. My precious lab Nellie is no longer around so I would love to share the love to your pup! :) I have flexible work hours and can easily fit a walk or house visit to my schedule. I am a runner too so I can run them if needed. Happy to send you lots of photos during my sitting in your home. Love giving them belly rubs, snuggles, play games and all the love they deserve.
About: I have had dogs all my life but currently don’t have any of my own. This allows me to have more flexibility to spend time with your dogs. I work out of my home and have a flexible schedule, 7 days/week. I can keep your pet at my house or I can come and go, or stay at your pet’s home. I have a fenced backyard and I can also crate your dog. I am flexible to do what is the most comfortable for your dog.
About: DOGS WITHOUT LOVE ARE LIKE HUMANS WITHOUT PURPOSE! I absolutely love dogs. I have a thirteen year old miniature Australian Shepard who thinks he is my third child and is treated as such. I am 47 years old and have a rewarding career in plastic/reconstructive surgery, but also realize that caring for fur babies is yet another true passion in which I truly enjoy! Fur babies need lots of love and attention as well as activity through play dates, park time, hiking, walking swimming etc. Additional Services Include: Groomer drop off and pick up, vet visit transportation and attendance, medication administration and bathing are also offered. I am also available for meet and greets preceding scheduled services. I am available on nights, weekends and holidays. I DO NOT board more than one family’s dogs at a time. Therefore, you do not have to worry about safety. It is in the best interest of your fur baby to not be exposed to others in which could result in physical injury and or harm and or contagious illnesses. Rest assured, your fur babies are completely safe with me. Pictures and reports of your fur babies are sent to you on a daily basis! Fur babies should feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners much like a doggie vaca! An experienced pet sitter that you can get to know, trust and feel comfortable with whom is much like family is a necessity! I work in the medical field and have the ability to adjust my flexible schedule to accommodate my pet clients needs and or requests on a client to client basis. At the present time-I am not offering boarding services in my home. I believe pets feel more comfortable and at ease in their own homes where they are familiar with their surroundings and specific care instructions will vary per client request which is discussed during our meet and greet session.

Nicole was fantastic with my dogs while I was away for a long weekend. She was right on time each day for all three visits and fed and stayed with the dogs exactly as I’d asked. My friend stopped by after one visit to grab something and she said the dogs were happy and didn’t even bark at her. I will definitely book again, thank you!
Vanessa has been fantastic—this is my second time booking with her, and it won’t be the last. Cyrus absolutely loves spending time with her, which says everything. She’s always punctual, consistently provides great updates with photos, and gives thoughtful feedback after each visit. Reliable, communicative, and clearly cares—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier sitter.
Carla has taken wonderful care of Cyrus, and he absolutely adores her. It’s immediately clear that she genuinely loves animals, and that care and attention shows in everything she does. She is very trustworthy, friendly, and professional, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

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 Lakeway 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 Lakeway 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 .

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 Lakeway with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
