“She took great care of Nudy while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed updates, photos, and notes after each visit. Nudy looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I could tell she gave him lots of attention. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Gabrielle did an amazing job looking after my pup Penny. She played with her and even gave attention to my cat! I will definitely book her again when I need a check in!”
“Thank you Christina for coming by to take care of our 5 girls. We loved the photos too. We appreciate you taking the extra time to ensure Jovi ate her dinner. We would definately have you care for them again.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through volunteering at an animal shelter, where I’ve worked with pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m also trained in dog handling and feline communication, and I have experience working in a veterinary setting. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I’m a college student at UCF majoring in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and also work part-time at a veterinary vaccine clinic. Since all of my classes are in the morning and only work weekends, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m available after 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays and have open availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My Fridays are mainly flexible but may change from week to week since I occasionally work pop-up veterinary clinics. Sadly no weekend availability but I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want them to feel as safe and comfortable as possible in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, or other care. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and boundaries, and I’ll always treat your home with respect. I also understand how reassuring it is to know your pet is doing well while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos during each visit!
“We had a great drop-in experience with Kayla! She is extremely responsive, we appreciated the timely and thorough communication. She easily managed our 3 dogs, big, small and a foster pup. She was patient with our shy little lady and seemed to gain their trust quickly. We will be booking again!”
“Megan is so reliable, communicative, and loves our animals so much! She is very understanding and happy to follow long sets of directions. She has watched our pets multiple times and I would highly recommend her!”
“Luisa is absolutely wonderful with our puppy! He gets so excited when she comes to check on him and she takes great care of him. She also gets the best photos of him during their puppy play sessions! She always makes sure he uses a ton of energy so by the time she has to leave he’s all tuckered out and ready for a nap until we return for more play time. I would highly recommend and trust Luisa with any pet!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little, friends and family rely on me to pet sit for their babies all the time! I have a dog and cat at home so I know how to handle both cuties! I’d love to get to know more animals and help out with your animal needs :)) I only have one class that's in the mornings (8-10AM) and I'm free for the whole day after that on Mondays and Wednesday! Thursdays I work during 5-11pm so I can do morning walks, Saturdays I work morning so I’ll be able to do evening walks! Tuesdays and Sundays are free all day! I can accommodate to any environment, if your dog would like to go out into the backyard that will happen, if they want to sit around and be lazy, that can also happen! In your home I will only be where your dog and will only touch things that are needed for your pet.
“Such nice people and took great care of our dog. Marco came to our house to give a potty break and exercise , then later to feed. Sent us pictures and updates. We will use them again for sure!!”
About: The passing of my beloved Birch, a 9-year-old shepherd x border collie mix, in February of 2025, was a turning point in my life. After losing my marketing job in August of 2024, I decided to follow my passion for animals and look for ways to bring in income while focusing on what truly brings me joy. Rover allows me to dedicate nearly unlimited time and flexibility to the care of your cherished fur family—and beyond. With over 15 years of animal care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs, cats, small critters (like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets), horses, goats, chickens, and I also specialize in cleaning and caring for aquariums and aquascapes up to 150 gallons. From puppy training and basic manners to providing senior care and managing multi-animal households, I have the skills and knowledge to cater to the unique needs of your pets. I’m experienced in recognizing animal body language, offering wound care, and performing basic grooming tasks such as paw trimming and nail clipping. I offer not only the essentials of pet care but also specialized services, including training, fun outings, and overnight stays (both in your home or mine). I believe in building a strong foundation of trust with your pets, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their environment. As a secondary passion, I’m also a baker and offer homemade dog treats by the dozen, as well as fresh food meal prep. For meal prep, I ask that you provide the ingredients, and there is a small additional labor charge for the preparation. I can tailor the meals to your pet's dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring they get exactly what they need to stay happy and healthy. My goal is to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, patience, and an unwavering commitment to their well-being. I look forward to meeting your furry, scaly, and feathery companions and providing the loving care they deserve! I work part-time with flexible hours, which allows me to offer tailored care for your pets. While I generally do not offer early morning visits on weekdays unless I’m already at your home, I am available starting at 11:30 AM and onward. I have the flexibility to accommodate midday, evening, and overnight care. As I do not currently have pets of my own, I’m able to offer both hosting and overnight stays at your home, either during the week or on specified weekends, ensuring your pet is in a comfortable and familiar environment. I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide the care and attention your pets deserve! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours. I live in a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, all on one level—no stairs involved—providing a comfortable and secure environment for your pets. My apartment is located in a complex that is extremely pet-friendly, with designated pet areas and a community that is welcoming to animals. The neighborhood is well-maintained and safe, offering plenty of clean and secure spaces for walks and potty breaks. While my home is cozy, I can only accommodate up to two pets at a time to ensure each one receives the individual attention they deserve. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, and I create a calm and relaxing atmosphere for pets to enjoy. They have plenty of space to move around, whether they prefer to lounge or play. I also ensure close supervision to help your pets feel safe and secure. When staying at your home, I respect your pet’s routines and environment to minimize any stress and ensure consistency. I take the time to familiarize myself with their daily habits, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would in their own home. Whether I’m offering overnight stays, hosting, or daily visits, I’m committed to providing a safe and trustworthy experience for both you and your pets. You’ll receive daily updates to ensure peace of mind, knowing your pets are in good hands.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carli was wonderful with our three pups! We have two large collies and a 16-year-old senior Chihuahua, and she was great with all of them. The pups really liked her and felt comfortable with her, which gave us such peace of mind. She was thorough, communicated very well, and sent us pictures while we were away. We would definitely recommend Carli and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”
“Melissa did a great job with my Sasha & left my home in mint condition. Care instructions were followed to the letter, took lots of photos & left notes on how Sasha was doing. At one point when I checked in on them, I saw Melissa was wiping Sasha‘s eye boogies🥹 I have another trip towards the end of the year, I know exactly who I’ll be booking with. Thanks Melissa! 💐”
About: Hi! I’m Devin, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of every size, shape, and personality. I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors — and now I’m opening my doors (and my heart!) to pups on Rover. Whether your dog is a high-energy goofball or a snuggly couch companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home. I've trained my own little pup from 8 weeks old and he's a Shiba (well known for their stubborn personality) I dont work weekends or holidays, plus my lunch breaks are typically on the longer side (1 to 3 hrs). Fitting in check ins, potty breaks and walks are a piece of cake. I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and keeping each pet’s individual comfort level in mind. I pay attention to body language and energy, and I always go slow with nervous or shy dogs so they can warm up at their own pace.
“Carolina did a wonderful job with Levi for his drop in visit! She kept me well informed and made sure my little guy was feeling relaxed before leaving him, and overall exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend her!”
About: High-energy pet sitter ready to keep your big dogs happy, active, and thoroughly loved! Whether it is floor playtime, fetch in the yard, or long neighborhood walks, your pup will get total attention. I also have a green thumb and am happy to keep your house plants watered and thriving while you travel. My schedule is flexible so I can visit your fur baby any time after 7am and before 8pm. My home is open for pet sitting 24/7. I have a fenced courtyard and a pet free home so your pup will feel comfortable staying here! The living space is on the first floor and the bedrooms are upstairs.
“Kayla is just the sweetest! My family and I moved here from Baton Rouge, LA only three days before needing an unexpected sitter for our sweet, elder beagle Otis. Kayla came to our home for our in-person meeting and we (& Otis) felt comfortable immediately. She cared for Otis 3 days in a row, and left us detailed notes and the cutest photos/videos every time. We will definitely schedule her again!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lockhart
Gabrielle was a prefect sitter. We weren’t able to schedule a walkthrough ahead of time but she was able to follow the instructions i left and take care of Milo. She was sweet and gave Milo all the attention he wanted. I would highly suggest for anyone looking for a dog sitter
Callie was incredible with my cats! She’s a great communicator and willing to help with whatever I needed. It gave me peace of mind knowing Stevie and Louise were getting taken care of while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality care!
This was my first time using Rover and the first time leaving my two cats alone, so I’ll admit I was a bit nervous and anxious. Patricia was amazing, she kept me updated the entire time and sent photos, which really helped me feel at ease. She was very professional and patient. One of my cats is extremely shy, and on the last day he even let her pet him, which truly surprised my husband and me. I would definitely rebook with Patricia without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lockhart is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,584 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lockhart. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Lockhart. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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.
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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
