About: I’ve babysat and taken care of a blue heeler for the past few summers, but the kid is old enough now to take care of himself and his dog! I have a 10 yr old maltipoo who has a few medical conditions, so I’m great with giving medication along with food. I love to walk and try to walk at least 8 miles everyday, so I’d love to walk your dog! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m really available any time of the day. I’d be more than happy to stay for however long you’d like and play with them! Since my dog is little, I usually carry her outside just because of other animals that are sometimes out because she likes to chase them (foxes, deer, vultures). When I walk her, I’m very aware of cars passing by or other large dogs that might scare her.
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.
“Jenny did an excellent job taking care of my cat! I really appreciated all the pictures she took and the descriptive notes she left after each visit. I felt completely at ease while I was out of town knowing she was in good hands! :)”
“We had issues with our key working and Caroline made a return trip in the same day once the problem was solved and willing to add day(s) when we thought we may have to extend our trip?”
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!
“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.”
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lakeway is $20

Tricia was so great for us and took great care of our kitties! We have a bit of a unique situation at the moment with very specific instructions and Tricia was so accommodating and caring. Will absolutely have her check in on our cats again if she is able to. Thanks again, Tricia!
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. 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.
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. .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lakeway on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,578 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 91% 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.
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.
