“I had a major plane delay and Olivia was able to help take care of Betty for another night which helped with my stress of getting back later. We love how much she cares for Betty!”
“Ashley is exactly who you want keeping your fur baby while you are away! She kept me informed with multiple pics every day of our trip, and it was obvious that our girl was safe and happy. This was our first time using Ashley, and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Yan is wonderful and always exceeds our expectations. We know that she takes such great care of our 2 fur babies during their stay. She sends photos and videos and it always appears as if the pups are having such a fun time there. We 🩷 Yan and will continue to use her for all our future needs. She truly is special.”
“Patches was wonderful with my pup! They were communicative, sent plenty of updates, and made sure she felt right at home. I appreciated the care and attention they gave throughout the stay.”
“We absolutely loved having Morgan and her sweet family watch Jack. We knew that he was in the best hands. Jack was cared for and had so many fun experiences going on walks, going to the dog park, playing in the yard, playing with Morgan and her family, and just being so well cared for around the clock. Morgan sent pictures, videos, and updates. She was always so encouraging, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and excels at caring for them. She entertained and played with our pup throughout the day, and she always treated him like part of her family. We are so blessed by her care! Especially since we inquired about same day care with only a few hours notice to be gone for ten days. She was gracious and worked around our last minute time frame. We had confidence that our dog was well loved and cared for the entire time we were away. I would absolutely recommend her and will seek her out immediately whenever our dog needs care. You will be grateful for Morgan’s constant care and kindness!”
“Rox seamed to really enjoy Michelle and her family. The walking video;s were very cute showing how well he behaved with Michelle's daughter at the helm ;) Already scheduled another stay in early October!!!!!”
“Nicole and her family were such a blessing for us! They welcomed our dog, with all his quirks, as one of their own and show patience and love to him while we were away on vacation. Cannot recommend Nicole enough!”
“Kyle has dog sat for us on two occasions now. He takes wonderful care of my girls and provides daily pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Kyle to look after your fur babies.”
“Marie was an outstanding sitter! Her excellent communication and regular updates including pictures were so appreciated. My dog requires medication with each meal and she ensured this was taken care of, and gave Lenny plenty of exercise between walks and lots of outdoor time while the weather was nice. I highly recommend Marie for anyone looking to have their fur baby cared for!”
“Marissa was a wonderful sitter for Goose! She gave daily updates and pics, and seemed to be super comforting and considerate of him during this weeklong, rainy stay.”
“Grace & John were the most amazing dog sitters. My two dogs were very loved and enjoyed their time with them. They took them on long walks every day. We had multiple photos of Wrigley & Ozzie everyday! They are top-notch dog sitters. I highly recommend them!”
“Denise is very sweet. She kept my dog, Wyatt, which I adopted from Austin Pets Alive a little over 3 months ago. She sent me MULTIPLE pictures every day, as well as a little update... just to let me know that he was getting along with her own dog, as well as another that she had to keep part of the time. She also sent me some videos at the end... but the daily pictures & updates put me at ease!!! 👍👍👍 😁😁😁 👏👏👏”
“Thank you Stevie for taking such good care of Mr. Cotton! I appreciated the pictures and updates during his stay. I know he had lots of fun playing with your dogs as well!”
About: I have dogs since I was 4 years old. Trained them to listen to commands in sign language. My longest lived dog was 17 years old. I’m at stay at home mom with 5 kids. I have the whole time in the world for the extra babies, fur babies and hairless! I have fenced yard. I know how to groom them as well. Clip their nails. If the dogs don’t get along I will let a dog outside for a hr then switch them with large bowl of water, of course! And keep them in different room.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lockhart is $48
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lockhart
I recently used Rover for dog boarding while my wife and I were out of town on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our trip was planned last-minute, but thankfully we found Kimberly — truly a star sitter! She was incredibly responsive, which made everything so easy. We quickly arranged a meet-and-greet that instantly gave us confidence. Kimberly was flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times since our travel schedule wasn’t fully set, and we really appreciated that. Throughout our dog’s stay, she kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Seeing our boy happy, relaxed, and having a great time allowed us to enjoy a completely stress-free vacation. Despite the heavy rain in the Austin area that week, she kept him clean and comfortable the entire time — impressive! When we picked him up, he was in great spirits and clearly had been well cared for and loved by her and her family. I’m so grateful to them for treating him like one of their own. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. It felt personal and caring — not at all like dropping him off at a kennel. We will absolutely book with Kimberly again and will be using Rover for future travels.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lockhart is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $70 per night. 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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lockhart can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lockhart home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lockhart.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lockhart sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
