“Kate was very friendly and our dog Masie felt comfortable with her immediately. Kate kept us updated with photos which we really appreciated. Although she kept other dogs, the house was organized and all the dogs got along well. When my daughter pickup up Masie, all of her toys, food etc was organized. We definitely recommend her.”

“Yan accepted my same day request when I was in a bind. I really appreciated the several photos that she sent. I was able to see how our dog behaved once we left her with Yan. Photos showed my dog explore Yan's yard, then meet the other dogs outside and then to explore inside Yan's house. I felt good knowing/seeing that my dog did not stress, that she got along with the other dogs, she ate all of her food and that she felt comfortable and happy. Thank you Yan and I will gladly reach out to you again!”

“I’m so thankful to Mercedes and her family for taking care of my little Izzy. It was my first time using Rover and I greatly appreciated Mercedes’ communication and photos throughout the stay. I was at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. She was also very flexible when it came to schedule changes which was super helpful. Izzy and I will be happy to use her services again in the future 🐶”

“We were so thankful to have found Tabitha. It was so nice to receive her pictures, and we felt secure in knowing that our Baby was with a family that was playing with her and holding her while we were gone.”

“My pup always loves staying with Ashley and her boys :') I almost feel bad taking her home with me LOL. Ashley is always so communicative keeps me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Always grateful for her and her family!!”


“Stephanie was amazing! From the initial meet and greet I knew that she would care for Daisy as if she was her own. She communicated with me and sent pics while I was out of town and Daisy had a blast. I will definitely be using her services from here on out”

“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!”

“Thank you, Robyn & Desmond, for taking great care of our pups. We never worry about them while we have to be away. We appreciate you guys being a second home for them.”

“Mariana was fantastic! Honey came home from her stay happy and healthy. She even had a little bandana and a goodie bag for dogs! Mariana was a good communicator from the beginning and throughout the stay. We look forward to our next visit!”

“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”

“My baby, Archie, had a fantastic stay!!! This was the first time I’d left him with strangers and he and I felt right at home. I loved receiving my daily pics. To be honest, I think he’s now a little lonely without his friends to play with. We’ll have to go back soon!”

“Just moved here and needed someone trustworthy to watch Gobi for five days. He’s shown a bit of separation anxiety in the past, especially with new sitters, so I was definitely nervous. Denise and her family were amazing — they welcomed him like part of their own family, sent regular updates, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. Gobi had a blast playing with Raya, their sweet young golden retriever. Couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“I recommend Edwin and family to anyone! They take such amazing care of my dog, Layla, who is pretty anxious without me. They send photos and make sure she feels at home. I never worry while she stays here!”

“Where to begin? Youna and Nick were fabulous hosts for our kitty! They followed my kitty’s routine to a tee and sent excellent updates with the most beautiful pictures of our baby. I HIGHLY recommend these two and will definitely be booking again with them in the future 😊”

“Kelly was great with my dog Opal. She was very communicative and sent me pictures of her every day while I was on my trip which gave me such a peace of mind. I’m always appreciative when I can see what my lil pup is up to. She loves to sunbathe and Kelly had a very nice yard that she could run around and play in the sun. She was very attentive and took great care of her.”


“Jade is so sweet! She had our 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. My dog loved playing with her dog Hiccup and they did lots of fun activities together. Will be booking again!”

The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lockhart is $47
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.

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, we recommend 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.

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 .
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.
