“Dana was absolutely amazing with our pets. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced into our first experience with Rover. I feel so lucky that we were able to connect with Dana and that she had availability to watch our pups. Her communication was amazing. She was very easy to work with. She seemed very comfortable with both personalities of our dogs, which is something considering how different they are. The communication and pictures during our trip were outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Dana more. In fact, we have already sent her profile to some of our closest friends. Thank you so much for all the help!”
“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”
“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”
“Alexa was great with housesitting my 2 dogs! She is responsible and friendly, arrived on time, and kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos. I would definitely trust her to watch my doggos again!”
“Valerie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time having someone house sit and take care of our dogs, and she made the entire experience completely stress free. Coming home after multiple flight delays, it was such a relief to know everything was in perfect hands. Her care, reliability, and attention to detail were truly a blessing. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our home and pets. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child. My dog passed and since have focused on helping friends, family, and associates care for their beloved pets. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely if needed. I am an early riser but also happy to accommodate late night visits and over night stays. I currently do not pet sit in my home but am happy to make as many trips as needed to your location, work from your location during the day, or stay overnight if preferred.
“Noelle took the time to meet with our anxious pup multiple times before we went out of town. She was communicative, sent photos and left our house in great condition. Will definitely be booking Noelle again!”
“I cannot recommend Logan highly enough. From our very first interaction, he was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for. What impressed me most was the level of attention and care he provided. He was consistently reliable, arrived when expected, sent thoughtful updates, and clearly took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, needs, and routines. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. My dog absolutely adores him, which says more than I ever could. It’s obvious that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. Every walk left my dog happy, exercised, and excited for the next visit. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs, look no further. Finding someone you can confidently trust with your pet is rare, and Logan has earned my highest recommendation. I would not hesitate to book with him again and will continue to do so whenever I need help caring for my dog.”
“Mariia was absolutely amazing with lotus and coco. Thanks to her I was finally able to enjoy a vacation worry and stress free. I’ve used Rover once in the past and had an awful experience with two different people canceling on me a day and two days before my trip and then the sitter that finally agreed to watch them, canceling on me after I left for my trip. My dogs can be super crazy at first and need some time getting used to someone new. Mariia came over once to meet them for a bit and then came over early the day I was leaving to spend some time with them before I left and that really helped my dogs get comfortable with her. I definitely over worry any time I’m away from my dogs and stress about whether they’re being good, but she stayed in contact with me every day sending messages and photos and it really helped me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dogs. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone that I can rely on to watch them when I go on vacation. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Autumn was absolutely phenomenal! She stayed at our house over the Thanksgiving holiday and took incredible care of our two dogs. She sent daily photos and videos, kept them active with walks, and gave them so much love and attention. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. We’ll 100% be using Autumn anytime we go out of town — and the dogs give her all the tail wags! 🐾”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
“Tori stepped in to help with my two dogs at such a crucial point for me. She completely lived up to all of her 5 star reviews. Communication in meeting the dogs, leading up to the stay and during the stay was excellent. She sent pictures and gave me the updates that were so important to me. I will always be grateful to her for helping me out this weekend. Thank you Tori!”
“My girl got into some meds while I was at work. Dwain was quick to try to contact me when he stopped by the house and quick to action. They couldn't be in better hands and I'm so grateful.”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.”
“Phoebe was wonderful with our animals, kept us updated throughout our trip, and left the house looking great upon our return. Would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
“Lucia was lovely. Very friendly, punctual, and responsible. Also, the cats enjoyed her company. ;) There was a cat left outside in the hallway, and she helped them; that's how kind she is. I highly recommend her.”
“Danielle was amazing with Skai and very communicative. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and I felt very secured. She took amazing care of Skai and I would definitely book again!”
About: I worked at Big Dog Ranch Rescue down in South Florida for 2 years before moving to Orlando and working at a dog daycare at a veterinary hospital in Winter Park. I worked at the dog daycare for 9 months before transferring to their pharmaceutical department. I also own 2 cats of my own and fostered a pitbull named Koa for 7 months before he got adopted. I adore animals, and would love to be able to take care of them in my free time. I currently work full time, monday through friday 8am-5pm, however I would love to drop in on weekends or holidays if need be to walk dogs or take care of cats. I have walked many different dogs ranging from 5lbs to 130lbs, and have no issue walking them on a leash. I have experienced dogs with a variety of behavioral issues such as food aggression and toy possession.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lockhart is $45

Natalie went above and beyond caring for my pets. Shortly before my vacation my cat was diagnosed with cancer and I was nervous to leave her. However, that quickly dissolved with all of Natalie’s reassurance and my immediate confidence that they’re in good hands. She communicated in detail often and sent several pictures throughout my trip. I am so grateful for her compassion towards my pets and overall care for them and my home. I highly recommend Natalie and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
We had a fantastic experience with Aaliyah. Our dogs were well looked after, and she kept us updated with consistent photos and messages throughout the stay. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we truly appreciated after traveling. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Karena was great. She was professional, on time and the pets loved her. We got regular updates with pictures and she went above and beyond the things we requested her to do. I would definitely use her again for future vacations. So great to come home to a house exactly as you left it, especially when our pets can be quite the mess makers.
Many thanks to Dana for watching over our older baby while we traveled. She was in constant contact with us and ensured Nash had all he needed to be comfortable, safe and loved. While this was our first booking with Dana, having her stay in our home with Nash was the only option. Can’t thank Dana enough for putting her life on hold for 12 days to take care of Nash. You are a gift!
Patricia is so wonderful!! She took the best care of my three cats while we were away! She provided daily check ins and photos which helped ease my anxiety being away from my fur babies. I am so glad to have found her through Rover and she will be my go-to sitter for all future trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lockhart on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lockhart. 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 Lockhart 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 Lockhart 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 Lockhart 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.

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.
