“Wren was responsive during the booking process, and came to our place to meet the pups to ensure it was a great fit. Our dogs seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. She sent pics which we always appreciate. Additionally, she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (which was not expected or necessary!). Overall, it was a really positive experience, and I would rebook in the future.”
About: Experienced in caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Hands-on experience with my own pets as well as family and friends. This is what I do full-time and therefore I am very flexible with helping where and how I am needed with your furry family member. I take my dog for a walk, make sure there is plenty of fresh water, take out for frequent potty breaks and clean up after.
“Jorden was super great and communicative and most importantly had great patience with such a young puppy. Highly recommend and will contact her again for any dog/house sitting needs in the future.”
“Tabbatha watched our two dogs for two weeks in our home and she was truly amazing! It was clear that she really cared about our dogs and she went above and beyond for them, including sending lots of pictures of how they were doing! She was also flexible enough to stay an extra night when we had unexpected travel issues. Overall, we highly recommend Tabbatha!”
“Very pleased with the extended stay coverage while we were traveling internationally. Anastasia was understanding and adaptable. We appreciated all the dog walks too! Will use Anastasia again in the future!”
“It's always a challenge finding someone to stay in my home that I can fully trust to not only care for my animals, but also respect my property and belongings. Paige took ALL those worries away and we are so extremely grateful to have found her! She is responsible, clean, and most importantly - Caring, loving and kind. She immediately bonded with my dogs upon arrival, sent daily updates of what they were up to and left a clean house for us to come home to after a long day of traveling. If you want to take a vacation and not have to stress over who's taking care of your life - Paige is your girl!”
“Nicholas was awesome house sitting for our dog and cat. Very good communication from the start and took great care of our house and pets. Our dog is shy and he was very good with gaining her trust without stressing her out. We would be very happy to have him house sit again.”
“Amber was lovely! Sat for the day in my home on a last minute request, checked in frequently with updates and pictures, and followed all care instructions ❤️ Thank you for the great care!”
About: I have never boarded my own dog because he is the most spoiled dog in the world and he loves the comfort of his own home! I believe all fur babies should have the same comfort! I also have walked my dog every day for the past 10 years! Puppies need daily exercise and play! I enjoy walking and being outside. I currently do not work and my kiddos are now in school full time! I love dogs and cats, as well as helping others, so I figured this was a great fit! I can be available after the kids go to school, until the time they come home. I would prefer drop in visits and dog walking. I don’t plan to care for dogs in my own home, but I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Also, I would follow any instructions you give.
About: Hi my name is Hunter, and I’m here to watch your precious pets :) I have grown up with animals my whole life, I have a dog of my own, and when I was 18 I worked at a doggy daycare. I plan on getting my dog training certificate and becoming a certified dog trainer! I currently have no job, and will be free to watch your pets any time, and don’t plan on working another full time job for a while, so I should be free whenever :) I can take your pet on walks, of course feed them, you may catch me and them becoming best friends, and I’ll make sure your pets have the best time of their life!
“Stephanie did an excellent job in taking care of our pups & our home. She is very outgoing and friendly and put our feisty chiweinie at ease right away. Our other dog followed her around the entire time. We will definitely book her again soon!”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Makaehla was absolutely incredible while we were away. She stayed at our house and loved on Raven and Rasco like they were her own. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which says everything about how well she takes care of both pets and home. She went above and beyond, communicated perfectly, and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve had several types of dogs in my life, from tiny 3 lb ankle biters to a 250 lb mastiff, so I’m comfortable around both small and large dogs. I also adopted and cared for an orange cat for 2 years, which gave me experience with cat routines, litter care, playtime, and respecting a cat’s space. My personal sidekick was Growlithe, my mini schnauzer of 14 years. He was way too smart for his own good and taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and how unique every pet’s personality can be. What sets me apart is that I care for pets with real attention, not just basic check-ins. I pay attention to their routine, comfort level, behavior, and safety so they feel secure while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m used to being responsible for animals and adjusting my day around their needs. I have experience caring for dogs, a cat, and freshwater aquariums, so feeding schedules, cleaning, playtime, walks, and check-ins are all things I’m comfortable managing. I do my best to keep pets on the routine they already know, whether that means morning walks, evening feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or quiet company. I understand pets feel more comfortable when their schedule stays consistent, so I follow owner instructions closely and communicate clearly if anything comes up. My goal is to make pet care feel dependable, calm, and stress-free for both the pet and the owner. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and comfortable before anything else. I pay close attention to doors, gates, food, water, leash safety, and any instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I do my best to match their comfort level. Some pets need playtime and activity, while others need space, quiet, and gentle attention. I always follow feeding instructions, medication notes, potty schedules, and house rules carefully. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep things clean, secure, and organized, and I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment. I also believe communication builds trust, so I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so owners know their pets are being cared for properly.
“Adriene was a great sitter for our furry babies and our home. She was extremely kind and responsive, and was always willing to help out with that ever situation might arise. We will absolutely be re-booking with her in the future!”
“Iva was absolutely wonderful with our boy. We couldn’t have asked for more. For a shy skittish cat he was intrigued by her from the first meeting and was having cuddles in no time. Iva was so great she went above and beyond sending us pictures and checking in right make sure his comings and goings were inline with his usual behavior. She was just utterly wonderful with him and the house our absolute sought after cat sitter, she really loves her charges and is fantastic to work with - she’s the best!”
About: I have been a dog lover and pet owner my entire life. I do have morning shifts on Saturday & Sundays (8am-3pm), but other than that I am fully available. I have also been using the bambino app to provide Babysitting services for the past two years. I have cared for over 33 families and I would be happy to share some reviews with you if you’d like. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I’ll have plenty of time to play with your animals because I only work part time on weekends! I am currently out of school for the summer, so I’ll be able to spend lots of time with them and make sure they are having a great time. Caring for pets in my own home would look like playing with them, taking them for walks in my neighborhood, making sure they are well taken care, of and making them happy! My home has a yard for pets to play in or go potty. We have plenty of walking trails in the neighborhood as well. I also have a pet cube, so when I leave the house for my part time job, I can check in with your pet on the pet cube. I only work 2 days/week (7hr shift), so I will have plenty of time with your pet!

Payton stayed at our house for a week and did a great job. She earned the trust of our extremely shy rescue dog, sent daily updates, and left everything in perfect condition. She handled an unexpected situation professionally and communicated what happened right away. We came home to a clean house, a thoughtful handwritten card, and two happy pets :) We hope to use Payton again in the future and feel comfortable recommending her.
I cannot express our gratitude for how Carla looked after our two pups. Yeah, they're a little spoiled, and prefer a little extra love and attention, and Carla was here for it. It's always been such a challenge for my wife and I to travel together, but Carla made it possible, and we had the best time ever...made easier by seeing our dogs so happy while away. We joked they were bummed we came back. We also joked that now we have to plan our vacations around Carla's availability. LOL. THANK YOU CARLA!!!!
Paige was outstanding. Highly recommend her. This was our first time leaving the pups with someone other than a family member and doing so at our own home but Paige was professional and made the entire process smooth and seamless. She exceeded our expectations by her accessibility and communication while we were away (sending cute pics daily and putting our minds at ease), and went above and beyond to tidy up the house before she left, which was unnecessary but so appreciated. Thank you so much, Paige.
We had a fantastic experience with Chris as our pet sitter! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Her communication was excellent — she kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our flight was delayed coming home, and Chris was so flexible and accommodating, which we truly appreciated. It made a stressful travel day so much easier knowing our pets were in such good hands. We came home to happy, healthy pets and everything in great shape. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be hiring Chris again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
I have never seen my crazy dog so calm around a person. She clued in quickly that Thomas had treats. We were very nervous leaving our house full of pets for a week, but all was well when we returned. He sent us lots of texts with photos and the house was very clean when we returned. Definitely recommended!!
Tabbatha watched our two dogs for two weeks in our home and she was truly amazing! It was clear that she really cared about our dogs and she went above and beyond for them, including sending lots of pictures of how they were doing! She was also flexible enough to stay an extra night when we had unexpected travel issues. Overall, we highly recommend Tabbatha!
Aaliyah exceeded all expectations. She followed every instruction carefully, went above and beyond in caring for my dog, and provided consistent communication throughout her stay. I felt completely confident knowing my pets were in her attentive and capable hands. Highly recommend her services.
Rebecca was great. Despite having very short notice, she replied and arranged a meet and greet that occurred within a few hours of me contacting her. She was very communicative and asked a lot of questions and took detailed notes on what my pups needed for their routines. She stayed over at my house for 2 nights while I was out of town, sending pictures and videos frequently and showering my pups with attention. I would highly recommend you consider Rebecca for your pet sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lakeway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakeway on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,651 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakeway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lakeway walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lakeway maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
