I can’t say enough how amazing Paige was. I went out of town for 10 days which is the longest I’ve ever left my pets and she made me feel so much more comfortable with leaving them! She made sure to find time to do a meet and greet before hand so they knew her and my anxious pup warmed up to her right away! She also laid out her schedule for every day I would be gone with times she planned to come over. The whole time I was gone, she sent updates and pictures so I could see how happy they were! She went above and beyond, even brushing my cat and dog which they both love! She will definitely be my go- to for any future needs.

Christina was able to help me on very short notice and stayed at my home for an entire week. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease knowing my animals and home were in such capable hands. She was excellent about sending photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and all of my animals were happy, healthy, and well cared for. One of the biggest challenges for me is finding someone who is experienced with a variety of animals—not just cats and dogs, but also goats, chickens, guinea fowl, and geese. Christina handled all of them with confidence and care. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I am beyond happy with her services and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and home as if they were her own, Christina is the one! ❤️🐾🐐🐓🪿

Leia is definitely a cat with a big personality. She usually doesn't let strangers get close to her, so I was honestly amazed that Alina managed to earn her trust. She was incredibly patient, never pushed Leia, and let her come around at her own pace. To my surprise, Leia even allowed Alina to pet her, which almost never happens. It's clear that Alina truly understands cats and knows how to make them feel safe. I couldn't have asked for better care for my little princess. Thank you so much! I would happily book with Alina again 🩷

Alex is amazing with animals and was great with my dog daisy. I have a 2-year old mountain feist that still has a lot of energy and Alex was able to give her the exercise and attention that she needed while I was away.

Kerstin was a wonderful house sitter for our goldendoodle and cat. We used her for the week of thanksgiving while we were out of the country and felt that our animals and home were in great hands! She sends daily updates with photos as well! We arrived from a long trip and travels to a very clean home and gifts for our son. What a pleasure. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 7 years old, and from that moment on, I understood the incredible bond between people and their pets. I have loved, cared for, and shared my life with dogs ever since. Over the years, I have rescued and fostered dogs of all ages, each with their own unique personalities, needs, and stories. Whether a playful puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or a dog simply looking for comfort and companionship, I have always treated every dog with the same love, kindness, and attention I would give my own. After losing my beloved dog a couple of years ago, I realized how much joy and purpose dogs bring into my life. While I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own just yet, I would love the opportunity to spend my time caring for yours — giving them affection, companionship, exercise, and the love they deserve. To me, dogs are not just pets; they are beautiful souls who become part of our families. I would be honored to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they are with me. Pet care is something I would love to make a meaningful part of my daily life. After a lifetime of loving and caring for dogs, I am excited to dedicate my time to providing the same affection, attention, and companionship to other people’s pets. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to prioritize walks, playtime, feeding routines, medication needs (if applicable), and plenty of one-on-one attention. I truly enjoy being around dogs and want this to be more than just a side activity — I want to spend my days caring for, loving, and appreciating the wonderful personalities that each dog brings. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, patience, or simply someone to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away, I am happy to make their care a priority. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and relaxed in the environment they know best. I understand that many dogs feel happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, sleep in their own beds, and have their familiar surroundings while their humans are away. I have a comfortable townhome with a small yard and access to a wonderful walking trail, but I truly enjoy the flexibility of traveling to your home and providing care where your pup feels most secure. I am happy to follow your routines, keep up with their favorite activities, and give them the love, attention, and companionship they are used to receiving. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible by giving your dog a safe, happy, and loving experience while you’re away.

About: 🌱Since a little girl all the way up to now I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience in caring for both cats and dogs alike as I have fur babies myself; 3 cats and a Pharaoh Hound. 🌱 🌿I will gladly follow special care instructions and supervision advisories as needed to ensure your pet is comfortable in their own home.🌿 ✨Have an Exotic/ “Unconventional” pet? I’ll care for them too! 🐠🦜🐁🐍🦎( this excludes Insect pets.)✨ All I ask is that if I am to pet sit to please allow me to bring my dog if it is overnight stay. I am typically available full-time on the weekends only as I have all day off on those days. Weekdays I am available after 5pm. After I get off of work I typically care for my own pets before relaxing myself. I like to follow instructions provided by the owner. I typically prefer to give pets their respective space unless they show to be needy with affection or hyperactive and need an outlet for their energy via playtime!

I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!

SHavonna is one of a kind! Her demeanor and reaction to my Lulu's growling at her the first time she met her was perfect. She and her 7-year-old son were the perfect house guests. My home was clean and ordered and Lulu greeted me happily and in fact did not want to leave shavonna! That right there is the best recommendation anyone can give!

Jojo is fabulous all around. She spoiled both my dog and cat rotten. She sent us pictures and videos every single day and was extremely communicative. My Frenchie Luna even had an allergy outbreak and jojo gave her a bath for us with her medicated shampoo. I was blown away by her kindness, responsiveness and how she really went above and beyond.. even taking out the trash and cleaning up around the house before we returned home. 1000000/10. Will definitely be booking her for now on.

Linda was so attentive to Max. She walked him, played with him and knew just what to do to get him to eat his food. We were out of town at a wedding and she sent us pics of our dog while at the dog park, eating all his food and cuddling on the couch. She was on time, responsive and dependable. Cannot wait to use her again!

About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lockhart

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 282 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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
