About: Hi, I’m Paige. I’m 39 years old and a homeschooling mom of two (ages 11 and 9). My children may accompany me on visits, but I am solely responsible for all pet care and supervision. We currently have two cats, a hamster, and a dog named Ted. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. My family also helps a local farm feed and care for their animals on a monthly basis — it’s something we genuinely look forward to and enjoy being part of. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or extra attention while you’re gone, I treat every pet with the same care and thoughtfulness I give my own. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals. Over the years, I’ve helped care for cattle, horses, goats, buffalo, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and even sugar gliders. Animals have always been part of my life, and their well-being has always been a priority. Puppies are welcome and will receive patient, attentive, and loving care. Medication Experience I am comfortable administering oral medications, eye ointments, and injections. I have experience caring for a diabetic cat and understand the importance of consistency and attentiveness when managing medical needs. As a homeschool family, I have flexibility during the week to incorporate pet care into our routine while maintaining a structured schedule. Visits are planned thoughtfully to ensure reliable and consistent care. Advance notice is appreciated, as same-day requests are generally unavailable. Weekly Availability: • Monday – Not Available (Early morning emergencies only) • Tuesday – Not Available (Late evening emergencies only) • Wednesday – 11:00am–2:00pm • Thursday – 6:00am–9am • Friday – Available (please message to confirm availability) • Saturday – Available (please message to confirm availability) • Sunday – Available (please message to confirm availability) I will ask that we have a meet-and-greet prior to booking for all first time clients. This allows us to review your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any specific instructions to ensure consistent, reliable care. For safety and comfort, I’m unable to accept dogs with a bite history, aggressive tendencies, or dogs that are not comfortable around children. My goal is to provide a calm, attentive, and loving environment where pets feel secure and truly loved, and owners feel confident leaving them in my care.
“Erica does a fantastic job. It's great knowing my dog is well cared for by Erica when I'm away from home, which makes a huge difference. My dog is always happy to see her and I highly recommend her.”
“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.”

“Haley should be your #1 gal to walk and care for your dog while you are away. She has a genuine love for dogs, is professional, courteous and cheerful. Our dog was so happy the minute she walked in the door. I highly recommend Haley!”
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!
About: I have three years of dog training under my belt, I've trained and cared for hundreds of dogs and animals of all varieties. From puppies, to senior dogs, to anxious dogs. From cats, to birds, even to snakes. I currently work in marketing at a 9-5 but am home all weekends and will be remote very soon! I am a homebody and will have 24/7 availability to the animals I am boarding. I have a beautiful dog park behind my place, along with plenty of inside room and cozy beds and blankets, as well as a safe outdoor route to walk them on.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for five years and regularly care for dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as cats. I also have nearly three years of experience working at a vet clinic, including giving medications and caring for pets with special needs. I focus on calm, reliable care and treating every pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work with the owners in order to find a time that works for both owner and sitter. I provide attentive care in both my home and my clients’ homes, following each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Owners are welcome to visit my home beforehand if they’re considering a stay. I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and all visiting pets are safely kept separate to ensure a calm and comfortable environment.
About: I have owned and taken care of cats and dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable meeting different animals’ complex needs. I am also a teacher on summer break, so my current schedule is incredibly open and flexible. My weekly availability is Monday-Sunday whenever I am needed! I have my own pets at home so aside from taking care of their needs, my schedule is very open! I have done a great amount of house sitting along with watching pets so I am happy to meet any requirements for taking care of your space when I am occupying it!
“Marcela, the cat whisperer! Our kitty is shy and usually takes a while to warm up. But he warmed up immediately to Marcela. She went above and beyond, even sweeping up litter and bringing packages inside. I'll definitely be re-booking with her whenever I can!”
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 :)
“My babies love Rachel so much!! And she shows them so much love each visit. I’m very appreciative of her and can wholeheartedly recommend her as the Best pet sitter! ☺️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeway
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.

Myo (Seth) was so consistent and took such great care of are pets. So happy with the service and all the great updates he gave. Really worked out great and pets are safe and very happy. We will definitely use Seth again. My dog and cat responded really well to him right away. He came to my home on time everyday and consistently gave us a photo showing how each pet was doing. Put us ( my kids ) at ease so we could enjoy our vacation. Definitely recommend using him to care for your pets. He obviously loves caring for animals. .

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 .
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 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.
