“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!”
“First of all, I must say that Brenda and Dwain are great ambassadors for Dog setting. Prior to us going on vacation our dog Molly suffered two seizures in one day and we were about to go on vacation in a month and a half, having Brenda and Dwayne taking care of Molly and ensuring she got her medication while we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. There was a point during the vacation. Molly didn’t want to take her medication with the pill pockets. Dwayne and Brenda got some peanut butter and insured that Molly had her medication the entire time we were gone. I plan on using Dwayne and Brenda more often because of the care that they gave Molly, also they took pictures and gave us daily reports and how she was feeling while we were on the cruise. I would highly recommend if you have a pet that you love very much hire Brenda and Dwayne.. I want to thank both Brenda and Dwayne for taking care of our puppy. I highly recommend them. David & Denise. 🙏”
“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.”
“Logan was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Leaving them behind is never easy, especially because they are highly active and each have their own unique personalities, but Logan made the entire experience stress-free. He gave them plenty of attention, kept up with their energy levels, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving updates and could tell our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s clear that Logan genuinely cares about the animals he watches, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We would gladly have him watch our dogs again!”
“Noelle was fantastic with our babies! We will definitely reach out to her again for our next weekend getaway! She was attentive to their needs, patient with our pug's disability, cognizant of their comfort throughout the weekend, and kept them on their schedule/routine. She checked in often and kept us informed of their activities, leaving us to a stress-free, mostly unplugged weekend. We are very happy to have found Noelle!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Ashlee. She is very good to my dogs and they love her too. Ashlee is very communicative and always lets me know when she’s coming and going and how the dogs are doing while I’m gone. I appreciate her taking care of my dogs and my home.”
“Christina was absolutely amazing with my boys. Very caring and considerate. Thank you for taking such good care of them. I'm so glad to have found such a trusting sitter for my dogs.”
“Valerie is the perfect sitter. She really is dedicated to her job and goes above and beyond for our dog. She is great with our dog. That means everything to us!”
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.
About: As a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of showing love (or attitude! 😸). I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them with someone else, so my goal is to make you feel just as cared for as your pets. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and believe communication is everything. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you can actually relax while you’re away. Whether your pet wants a long walk, a game of fetch, a quiet cuddle, or simply someone to respect their space, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every pet like family and every home with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day while house sitting. Your pets won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily fit walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, medications, and cuddle sessions into my schedule. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine. I’m happy to schedule meet and greets to make sure everyone (especially pets) is comfortable. I know that keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. If you have a schedule, I’ll stick to it! Whether it’s feeding times, medications, walks, bedtime routines, or favorite playtimes, I’ll follow your instructions closely. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and the peace of mind that everything was well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Makensy. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a natural love for caring for them. I personally trained my two standard poodles at home, working on obedience, leash manners, and crate training. Since I moved away for college, I’ve really missed being around dogs, and that’s what inspired me to start offering dog walking and drop - in visits. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or still learning, I adjust my care to match their personality and needs. I love sending photo updates, spending quality time, and making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently do not have any pets, but when I did, I walked my dogs multiple times a day. I am now starting to offer dog walks and check-ins. I worked with dogs in multiple types of homes and am used to letting them outside or taking them on walks multiple times a day.
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Under unexpected and difficult circumstances during her stay, Yelena cared for my dogs in an extraordinarily special manner…an effort I won’t forget and remain thankful for”
About: Hello! I’m Haileigh, an experienced animal lover with several years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in both rescue and veterinary settings. I spent 2 years working at Big Dog Ranch Rescue in South Florida, where I gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. After moving to Orlando, I spent 9 months working at a dog daycare located within a veterinary hospital in Winter Park. This gave me even more experience understanding animal behavior, providing attentive care, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I later transferred to the veterinary hospital’s pharmaceutical department, where I continue to be surrounded by animals and the veterinary world. My experience in these environments has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things, from changes in behavior and appetite, to making sure each pet receives the individual care and attention they need. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to two cats of my own. I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering a pit bull named Koa for 7 months before he found his forever home. Fostering him was incredibly meaningful to me and reinforced just how much I love helping animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, my goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pets are family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving, experienced, and trustworthy hands while you’re away. 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

Haileigh I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. Haileigh Is someone you can truly trust with your dog is incredibly important, and from the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. She was attentive, dependable, patient, and genuinely treated him like he was her own. She kept me updated, made sure he was comfortable and well cared for, and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. You can tell when someone simply watches dogs versus someone who genuinely loves and cares about them — and she absolutely does. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. I’m extremely grateful for the wonderful care she gave my dog, and I will definitely be using her again. Five stars all the way!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 3,222 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockhart. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
