But when she is here she loves dogs just as much I have a fenced yard with a huge area to run and play! When we are inside they more than welcome to cuddle on the furniture too.
“So glad to have Fanny as a sitter! She took care of my dog and 2 cats like they were her own babies. I felt relaxed knowing my babies were safe and well cared for. We have a high energy kitten, a high energy adult dog, and a senior cat and she gave them each the individualized care they need with lots of love and cuddles. My house was also well cared for. Absolutely recommend hiring Fanny for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I have always loved animals and looking after them! I have taken care of my family/friends fur babies for years now and used to work at petco (5years) and would dog/cat sit for some of the regular clients that I got to know throughout my time there. I’m energetic and love being outside and love spending time playing with animals! My schedule is very flexible and open, I can be available any day of the week and most times as long as I don’t have another commitment. I make sure the animals are well fed and hydrated. I stay aware of my surroundings when on walks or inside, making sure I’m keeping an eye out for other animals nearby or that the door is properly secured..etc I pay attention to the animals body language as well to make sure if I’m playing with them or interacting in anyway, that they seem comfortable and open to that interaction.
“Maria was great! She took great care of my golden (Wally), sent lots of pics, and provided excellent communication throughout her stay with him. I would fully recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with Wally again.”
“Julia is amazing! She really was a life saver!! We were able to relax on our trip knowing that our dogs were safe , she sent us updates and pictures. One of my dogs is not a fan of humans and she ended up loving julia! I would 100% call her again for the future!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love animals. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. My remote, flexible work schedule makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and quality attention. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, spending time outdoors, going for walks, and keeping them happy and cared for.
About: Many have said that I am a dog whisperer. I enjoy walking dogs or just being a companion for cats and dogs. I also have senior care training to include giving meds. Right now this is my only job so I am available at all times of morning, mid day and evenings. I always accept positions that leave enough time in between sittings. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I do have a Staffy and he loves making new friends. H had a small dog for 6 of his years in our home and he was so good with him.
“We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this service. Our sitter was professional, communicative, and took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. We received updates throughout our trip, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As an added bonus, our home was left clean and organized when we returned, which was greatly appreciated. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind, but this experience gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly use this service again and look forward to booking in the future.”
About: Since I was young, I have cared for animals big and small. I grew up with cats and dogs, but have also raised the occasional turtle, snake, lizard, mouse, and fish. I love animals and am not afraid of complicated instructions or a challenge. I have experience with accidents, medications, and clingy, anxiety-ridden babies. I have an educational background in psychology - paying attention to pets and watching for their cues helps keep them healthy and happy. I’ll be able to tell if something is an stress-reaction or “just that weird thing they do.” My current companion is my best boy, Teddie. I found him in the trash on the side of the road one day (true story!) and bringing him home was the best decision I’ve ever made. I currently have a full-time work schedule, with some remote days. I am unable to do mornings, but I can do night visits! I have full availability for Saturday and Sunday, so I can be the perfect sitter for your long weekend getaways! Each pet is unique in how they communicate. I pay careful attention to a pet’s cue or behavior to determine what they may need. By being observant, I can ensure that your pet is happy, safe, and well taken care of! Many pets that I have cared for needed medication or had special instructions for care. I am no stranger to potty accidents or stress reactions. I would be happy to care for your pet that may need a little extra patience or kindness. Unfortunately, due to my small apartment, I am unable to care for pets in my home.
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs most of my life. I had two cats that both lived to be 21 years old. I have friends and neighbors that trust me with their dogs and cats while they go on vacation. I enjoy providing pet parents with photos, videos, or text while they are gone. There is no worrying about your pet. Trust is the most important thing. I currently own two cats, so every day care and litter box cleaning is a must. I am happiest when I am taking care of my pets, and hopefully yours! You can trust me with your pets and the safety of your home. I will follow your instructions to the letter and on the schedule you request.
“Colleen was wonderful with our cats while we were away for the weekend! She communicated really well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she left our house spotless. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”

“We had the pleasure of working with Danna; who truly exceeded all expectations. Their level of care and attention to detail was exceptional. From the moment we met her could tell they had a genuine love for animals. During Danna’s time looking after our pup; she went above and beyond to ensure their well-being. She followed all feeding schedules meticulously and even took the time to play and cuddle with Luna. I received regular updates and photos, which provided immense peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets this Danna apart is her reliability and dedication. Dana treated our girl as if she they she was her own, and I could see the bond that formed between them. It’s not easy to find someone who cares for your pets as much as you do, but Danna certainly does. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy sitter. She made my time away stress-free, knowing our pup was in the best hands possible. I am grateful for Danna’s exceptional service and will undoubtedly be booking her again in the future. Thank you for being an outstanding presence. ?”

Haileigh was absolutely amazing! She cared for my fur babies with so much love and attention and sent me photos throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind. I came home to an immaculate house and the sweetest note with beautiful pictures of my babies. They were happy, loved, and so well cared for. Haileigh truly went above and beyond. I would trust her with my babies and home anytime! ❤️🐾
Natalie was very communicative & made sure to keep us updated daily. She sent lots of photos & took amazing care of our 2 pups. When our other sitter cancelled on last minute, she responded immediately & put our minds at ease. Will definitely use her again if she is available in the future!
We had a fantastic experience with Shauna! The level of care is 5 stars across the board. We extended our trip and she was even able to accommodate last minute. When we got home we can tell the fur babies and house was well cared for. So glad we found her and beyond grateful!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brenda, Dwain, and their family! They cared for our three dogs for 3 nights and 4 days, and from the very beginning, we felt like our dog children were in great hands. I was extremely nervous about leaving them—not because I was worried they wouldn’t be well cared for, but simply because we are never apart from them! Brenda and Dwain completely put my mind at ease. We received daily photos along with the best, most entertaining updates that made us laugh and helped us feel connected to our pups while we were away. What meant even more to us was seeing how comfortable everyone became with each other. They trusted our dogs enough to bring their children over to help and spend time with them, which made it feel like our pups were being loved on by an entire family rather than just being “watched.” Coming home to three happy, well-cared-for dogs was everything we could have asked for. We will absolutely trust Brenda, Dwain, and their family to care for our dog children again. Knowing we have people we can trust with them makes the idea of leaving them in the future so much easier. ❤️🐾 Thank you from Mark, Christina, Minnie the pack leader, Molly silent but happy, and Gus the part time construction worker!
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!
Mercedes was great and took great care of our dogs, cat, and house while we were away! This was our first time using an in-house sitter through Rover and we are very happy with the way things were handled. She send pictures daily, responded promptly to messages, left the house clean, and fed the animals and let them out as instructed. Definitely recommend.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
