“Everything you could ever hope for! They were so kind, sweet, and understanding. Our GSD puppy had a blast with Sailor. It’s hard for us to entrust our baby to other people but as soon as we met the three of them our puppy and us knew it was going to be perfect. 100/10 without a doubt”

“The Best Dog Sitter I Could Ask For! I couldn’t be happier with Kimberly! She's been watching my baby boy every week, and her care and compassion toward him warms my heart. From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals and enjoys making them feel comfortable and happy. Each week, she goes above and beyond, ensuring Cooper gets oodles of attention. The cute photos she sends and text updates alway shows me he being so well cared for. She even brushes him when he visits, LOL! I love how quickly she responds when we communicate and how kind she is to me every time we interact. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, dependable, and loves dogs as much as you do, look no further than Kimberly. We’re so grateful to have found her!”

“We were so happy to find Priscilla. While we live in another part of Florida, we needed to board our pup while in the area where we were visiting with family and spending Thanksgiving Day at their house. My son's dog doesn't get along with ours, so it was wonderful to find someone who could care for him during our visit. Priscilla was so good with him and she sent us photos and a video of him running in her yard with the other dogs. He looked so happy to have this play time. We will definitely consider boarding him with Priscilla the next time we plan a visit to our kids.”
“Ivana was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entire booking process. She was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making sure Bougie would be well taken care of. Even though things didn’t go as planned, she remained flexible and understanding the whole way through. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“We needed a daycare spot for a few days with a nice yard for our high energy pup as our fence was getting replaced. When looking for a sitter, Jonathan and Jennifer checked all of the boxes. We are so thankful for you both welcoming Sailor into a safe and fun environment. We received regular updates with photos (some of those were hilarious). She came home happy after each visit and was excited to see them every morning we dropped her off. We will definitely reach out in the future!!”
“Jay and Steven were AMAZING!!! They watched all four of our dogs during the day while we were getting married and then honeymooning after. We did not have to worry at all while we were out and the dogs were so excited to come back to daycare every day. I can’t appreciate Jay and Steven enough for watching my babies and keeping them happy and healthy.”
“We had such a great experience and couldn’t be happier! He was an excellent communicator from start to finish, always keeping us in the loop and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We especially loved receiving the regular photo updates—it was so reassuring to see our dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear he genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, which says everything. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and thoughtful to watch their dog!”
“This was our first time leaving chandler with someone that wasn’t family and I’m very happy with the experience! Kelsey was very responsive and texted us photos throughout the day!”
About: I've been pet-sitting for friends, family, and referrals for the past 10 years. Yorkies, Doodles, Dachshunds, and other mixed breed dogs, cats, and birds. I love caring for pets, especially cats and dogs and keeping them on their routines, feeling safe and loved while their owners are away. I've cared for senior dogs and have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs for their walks ...I personally walk 3+ miles every day and will gladly sit for dogs who love a good, long walk. I typically do overnight stays from 2 nights to 6 weeks. I am now accepting dogs, one at a time, for day sits in my home. I have a big fenced in yard and currently no pets. As a writer and yoga teacher I work from home and have lots of time to play with, walk and provide lots of loving attention to your pets. I do not currently have a pet. I used to have cats and I love all pets. I have a fenced in back yard. I typically pet sit in the pet's home when owners travel and am now offering daycare for one dog at a time in my home. I love to send pictures of the pets to their owners to let them know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Mercedes did such a wonderful job with my puppy. I cannot thank her enough for being so flexible and accommodating for us on top of it being last minute! Got cute pictures of them snuggled up and he didnt want to leave!”
About: I've taken car of dogs my whole life! We have always had at least one dog in our house. Growing up my family was a very dog oriented house we had rat terriers, shih tuzs, schaunzer, golden retriever. Right now my family back at home has a couple of dogs from the shelter a beagle named Nikki, a yorkie/jack Russell mix named Bob and a cute one eyed shih tzu named Dee. Ever since I was old enough I was the one who trained our dogs. I taught them how to be potty trained, how to stay in the yard, as well as cute tricks. Bob is the best at this he even can play dead dramatically by walking around and rolling onto his belly after some dramatics. Since my family has always had shelter dogs we have had puppies all the way to mature dogs. I have learned through experience how to deal with many different types of dogs who have had many different personalities. I also had experience of giving our different dogs different medications on schedule. I miss my dogs at home and can't wait to give your pup lots of love and attention! I work from home part time and am a gig worker. I am home a majority of the time besides a little bit of errand running and when I have gigs. I'm pretty flexible and have lots of free time for walks, belly rubs, playtime and anything else your pup wants. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom luxury apartment that has a special pet area on site. I moved down to Florida six years ago and my dogs stayed with my family and I miss them a ton. This has been the first time in my life that I haven't had a dog, I was in college and didn't have the proper amount of time to devote to one. Now I'm graduated and work mainly from home so I have lots of time and love to give to your special pet.

Christina was great with watching my Lucy! We did a daycare session before a longer boarding request to make sure that Lucy would be comfortable in the space. Christina is very communicative and willing to answer any and all questions that I have! Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lockhart
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lockhart on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lockhart commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,284 sitters in Lockhart, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
