“Cheryal went above and beyond while taking care of my 3 cats while I was out of town! She sent daily updates and pictures of my kitties and they seemed quite happy and well taken care of when I returned home! She even brought my Amazon packages indoors without me asking her to! I will definitely be booking her pet care services again!”

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!

“The BEST! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily! I’m pretty sure our fur children love her more than they love us but all kidding aside, she is attentive to all details and truly loves our animals. We have a wild English bulldog who is still living his best life on a high level of puppy energy and she is so wonderful with him. I do not worry about them at all when we are away and love all of the updates and pictures she shares. Not to mention our house is usually tidier than before we left. Truly a wonderful sitter!”
“Alexis R took care of my timid cats and was able to find Indy (the Ghost cat) hiding in a different closet than usual. Alexis is professional and sent pictures of the cats showing that they're in good hands. I'll be using her services in the future.”
“Yuqing was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took such great care of my pets and was flexible with her schedule which we really appreciated! She gave us lots of updates and was a pleasure to communicate with.”
About: I've never have not had pets, when friends go out of town, I'm their go to human to watch their babies. I am not anxious around animals either, they tend to respond well to my energy. I do work full time but only work until 3, so plenty of time to tire my cats out once I'm home. I walk one of my cats regularly to, which is a bit different but she loves it. I know you know your pets best, I will ensure any direction given is followed. I also am very communicative, so if I ever have questions, I will reach out.
“Ashlyn is great! She’s always on time for her walks with my little guy and she’s very communicative and sends cute pictures. She respects the commands I give her to use with him and reports in how he’s doing!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I can first remember picking up my first dog from the shelter. Even as a young kid I loved taking care of animals and that has carried through to my adult years as well. I've cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. From small to big, I've loved them all. I have experience giving medicine as well for yhe ones who need it. I'm currently taking some time off of working to focus on my goals. I am available all day and can focus on my goals with just my laptop. I love animals, but don't have any of my own, so I would love nothing more than to spend my free time making your pet(s) happy! I'm very good at following instructions and I'm detail oriented. I will care for your home just as well as I care for your pet.
About: I’ve owned 5 dogs, pet sat for a dogs including a senior dog, trained and taken care of my own puppies, and don’t forget also cats! I am fully free to watch any animal at any time, I want this job to benefit me in my career but also as a human being helping you feel comfortable for someone watching your pets. All my dogs are crate trained, knows tons of tricks, and of course spoiled because they deserve it! Although my dogs don’t enjoy little kids very much, it is because they are very protective and unsure, due to my dogs all having a mix of border collie in them. Very protective
“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.”
About: From looking after a Leonberger throughout his life to now loving a Goldendoodle and Coton du Tulear, my pet care experience spans dogs of all sizes. This diverse background not only deepens my understanding of their unique needs but also enhances my ability to connect with dogs of all sizes, ensuring they receive the most attentive and loving care. I’m currently home from college, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for morning walks every day of the week, and for drop-ins most mornings and afternoons. When caring for pets at a client's home, my top priority is ensuring a safe and trusting environment. I follow all owner instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to specific care routines, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I conduct regular check-ins and updates to keep owners informed. My approach is to treat every home with respect, maintaining cleanliness and order during each visit, and focusing on providing attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals. I've taken care of dogs, cats, goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. I have a particular soft spot for rats because I kept them as pets for over a decade. I also rehabilitated a couple of red-eared sliders growing up, have had some experience caring for bearded dragons, and had a pet tarantula many years ago. As of recently, I've started volunteering with a Texas wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility in Kendalia, Texas. Suffice to say, my love of animals runs deep. My experience is relatively varied, and whether you want me to farm-sit or dog-sit, I am both excited and prepared to do either. I volunteer weekly for Kendalia Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, where I am surrounded by many different kinds of animals, and I am constantly learning new things about their care needs. Over the summer, when I return to my family, I resume my usual responsibilities and mix pig feed, feed out hay to our goats, put up the chickens, clean as and where it's needed, and make sure that everybody's water is always clean and topped off. The routines surrounding these animals are second-nature to me, and I'm very comfortable around them, and find time spent looking out for them to be very fulfilling. I think it's very important to engage with the animals under my care, and I understand that that can look a bit different for each animal. If I'm going to be caring for cats, then I'll be sure to take the time to wiggle a cat wand or wave a laser pointer around. They will also absolutely get an occasional Churu as long as that's an acceptable treat. For dogs, I'm going to make sure I take ample time to play fetch with them, and that they get a nice long walk each day at least once.
About: I am a 20 year-old college student living at home with my two dogs and would love the opportunity to help others out! I have always been an animal lover and love caring for others pets! I mostly work on the weekends this time of year, and my school load is much lighter right now. I would love to be able to help out on week days any time! I am hoping to help out with drop ins and checking on your pet. I am also open to house sitting which is what I have done for past families.
About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home
About: My wife and I have cared for dogs and cats throughout our lives, and pets have always been a big part of our families. Between our immediate families, there are currently six pets that we’ve regularly helped care for and pet-sit over the years. We especially love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. We recently lost a dog who was deeply loved, and caring for pets through Rover became a meaningful way for us to continue sharing that love and attention. Since then, we’ve adopted a corgi who has been part of our family for over three years now. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we strive to provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where they feel right at home. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree online, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, visiting local parks, and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’ve had my home dog-proofed for quite some time for my own pet, so I’m very mindful about creating a safe and comfortable environment. I understand that some dogs may chew on things they find, so I make an effort to keep the home clean and free of anything that could cause issues. I also like to keep toys available to help pets stay entertained, and I have a nearby park where they can enjoy walks, playtime, and exercise.
“Deonna was a blessing to have sitting both of our cats! She was very thorough following my care instructions and bonded with one of my more shy and timid felines pet 🐈. I loved the daily reviews from the visits and pics as well kept me from any worries. I would definitely have her care for my cat's again!”
“Grant did a great job! He stopped by my place to walk my dogs. My one and half year old pit mix Luna has a ton of energy and he didn’t have any issues with her. I would totally use him again if he’s available.”
About: I have grown up around cats my whole life. I have helped take of them but recently I adopted a 3 month old puppy so I am learning there. My professional experience is limited to dog sitting friends pets! Which I have done 10 or so times in the last 5 years I am working part time but during the school year I will not be working. I am a masters Student at UTD so I am available all week expect for when I am in classes Tuesday and Thursday. For my puppy I have set up the bathroom to be a play room. I have a crate for her where she sleeps at night that. Other than that I take her on walks so when she is ready to go to the dog park I will take her. I will be able to crate anyone’s dogs!

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
