“Lucia was amazing! Very reliable and professional, and went above and beyond to send us great photos and videos of our cats while we were out of town. We felt great knowing they were in such good hands!”
“Cristina was great! She came over a couple of times before hand for meet and greets with Penelope since she is skittish around new people. Penelope warmed up to her right away and we felt so comfortable leaving her with Cristina. We will definitely rebook in the future! Thank you 😊”
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’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience pet sitting, volunteering at shelters, and fostering. I’m a proud pet mom to Noelle, my sweet 5-year-old mixed breed rescue, and Milly, my 10-year-old cat. I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time registered nurse and lifelong animal lover. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend my extra time doing something I also enjoy, which is caring for animals! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your pets and home as if they were my own.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from small chihuahuas to large golden retrievers, and I understand how to tailor care. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, giving meds, or just keeping them company. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm presence, and flexible schedule as a recent college graduate home for the Winter. I treat every pet like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. As a recent college graduate, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for visits any time of day, as well as overnight stays if needed. Since I’m not juggling a full-time job or class schedule, I can give your pet consistent attention and stick closely to their routine. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, feeding, or playtime, I can easily build my day around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their routine, comfort, and safety above all. I take time to understand your pet’s preferences and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s consistent and stress-free. I always double-check doors, gates, and food instructions to ensure everything is secure and safe. I respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels loved and at ease in their familiar environment. I also believe in clear communication; I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at peace while you’re away.
“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.”
“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: I've always had pets of my own as well as taken care of pets that friends, neighbors, and family have asked me to help out with. I love taking dogs out on walks and cuddling new feline friends. I care for any pet just as lovingly as I do my own. I'm figuring out my next move in life and hoping to surround myself with things that make me happy, which definitely includes pets! I’ll be home here in Austin for at least 2-3 months. In my own home, we've always placed importance on our pets being active. If you have a dog that needs to get out on a daily basis or just needs to be played with around the house, I am so happy to be there for those needs. If your cat just loves to be given attention, I'm your girl! Consistency in a pets food and water routine is also a priority. Sending picture updates while you're away is something I love to do.
“Super reliable, great communication, and most importantly gives the love and care that my needy cat Robin needs. I’m so glad and relieved that we met Meredith and we look forward to booking in the future.”
“My little man loves Iva and so do we, so calm and caring with her charges, she lets them come to her and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable - I hated leaving him until we met Iva - thank you!”
“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: ccpetz247 on YouTube I travel frequently and provide petsitting services during my travels. I have petsitting references from the various states which include Texas, Nevada, Colorado, California, and Illinois. I've always had pets mostly dogs and cats. I know the importance of pets getting their needed attention and daily exercise or they could tear up the house or harm themselves. When I’m not petsitting I’m usually providing childcare or ABA services. I have been in the childcare field for over 20 years and have had numerous background checks. Since I created this account all our family pets have crossed the rainbow bridge from old age and I miss being around the company of family pets. Since I travel frequently, I may not be able to do a local meet and greet but will be available to do Zoom or FaceTime. My rover rate is negotiable if requested. Feel free to send me any questions. I look forward to helping you with your house sitting needs! I love to travel and am pretty low maintenance so I can provide full attention for pets while their owners are away. Would love to care for your pets while you are away or just do a drop in visit if needed. I can only provide care in pet owners' home. I'm pretty low maintenance and responsible and will care for home and pets with great care.

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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeway
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lucia was absolutely wonderful! From the very first meet and greet, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our kitties in her care. While we were away, she sent fantastic updates and fun photos that showed just how much time and attention she was giving them. It was so nice seeing our kitties happy, playful, and enjoying her company! We came home to a happy house and two very well-loved kitties! Lucia is warm, thoughtful, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to have her care for our kitties again. Highly recommend! 🐾💕
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.
Chris did a great job watching our floofs while we’re out of town! They loved her right away, and they don’t generally warm up to people that quickly. The visits were all at least the time we requested and sometime more, which I’m sure the cats loved :) 10/10 recommend!
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.

I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Maggie was amazing with our kitties! One of our cat’s has heart failure and is really tricky to give meds to. With a lot of patience to trying out different methods, was able to give him his pills without fail. She was kind and gentle with our cats during the meet and greet as well making us feel confident to have our cats in her care 🐈⬛🐈⬛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakeway is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,534 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeway. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
