“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!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was very young. I would house sit for my neighbors until I was old enough to volunteer. I volunteered at an animal shelter where I would bathe, train, and walk dogs. As well as play with the cats as well! I have a dog who I take on two walks a day and play with other pups when we can! I live in an apartment, but I can house a crate as well or block them off if needed. I also have a crate for my dog as well. As of now I am a chiropractor with flexible work hours. I have a dog myself and I always make sure to take him on long walks and get him out and about! I can easily crate your dog as needed! I do not have a yard but I do constantly take them out on leash! I also have a turf area in my apartment and a dog park near by!
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.
“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!”
“Courtney took my request last minute when our prior dog sitting plan fell through. She was extremely responsive and made me feel comfortable that my two dogs would be well taken care of. I loved getting the updates and photos from each visit and being able to communicate between visits. My dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and were able to play, cuddle, and be themselves while I was gone. It gave me great peace of mind of my travels to know they were so well cared for.”
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 :)
“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.”
“Susan did a great job of taking care of our two cats while we were away for the week. Having never met her before, the cats warmed up to her quickly and she was good with communication with us and left everything in great shape when we got back. We would definitely recommend Susan and will choose her to pet sit again.”
“Tabbatha was the best pet sitter and made me feel really secure and confident that everything was taken care of while I was out of town for a few days. So happy to have found her! She showed up on time, every time, and took amazing care of my pets. I received multiple pictures at every drop-in and timely”
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: 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.
“Courtney was wonderful! She communicated clearly and consistently, providing thoughtful updates and adorable photos of the cats. I really appreciated her flexibility and how she kindly went above and beyond—even watering a plant for me. I’m so grateful for her care!”
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.
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: I have taken care of multiple different types of dogs. From small to medium size cattle dog. I have reoccurring clients as well. I currently live with 3 dogs so i’m not unaware of all things that go with taken care of those guys. I have also had dogs in my family my entire life and have been responsible for taking care of them while my family is away. I have experience staying at the clients home and walking the dog at least twice a day along with as many potty breaks as I can do. I don’t currently have a job so I’m pretty flexible! I just moved back to Austin from Portland, Oregon so I can be closer to my family. I grew up in Austin so I know my way around. I care for the pet exactly how the client does and shows me at initial meeting. I cuddle and play with the dog if they want it. I take them on walks and watch tv together in the evening or on weekends. For walks, I use treats to help with any triggers we might run into.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeway
Cindy is warm and calming - my youngest dog, who is generally skittish around new people for the first few minutes, liked her immediately. Cindy arrived on time and easily coaxed my two pups outside to do their business and head back into their crates. Exactly what I need. Thank you, Cindy.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
