About: I've had pets all my life and practically had a farm on the property growing up. I've taken care of cats, dogs, ducks, peacocks, horses, rabbits, bearded lizards, pythons, hamsters, and fish, with probably more I'm not remembering. I love animals whether it be cuddling with them, going on walks, heck just playing with them is fun! One of my earliest memories was taking the class rabbit home from school in the 1st grade. I was the only person the rabbit would let hold upside down without trying to flip itself over. I understand the language of animals and their needs and wants. I have also taken an extensive dog training program to better communicate with them and correct bad behaviors. I currently work from home so I have a lot of flexibility being able to care for your pet. With the free time I like exercise around town. I own one kitty and I give him lots of love and take him on walks as he isn't use to being an outside cat even though he wants to be. I find trust is one of the scarier and harder things to get use to on here but you couldn't be in better hands. I had stayed at multiple homes watching pets as well as doing drop in visits and have had no complaints. If anything your home will be exactly as it was or even more clean than when you left it. I love to cuddle on the couch with pets and go on walks. When I stay at your home I usually just watch shows with your pet and try to give them the same atmosphere as if you were home. My drop in visits are 30 minutes long. I usually will take your dog on a walk for their potty break even though Rover would like me to charge you extra for that. While I'm there I will do all that you need done in those 30 mins for your pets.
“Corina, was amazing watching our boys! She did an amazing job watching our pups and updating us as well as sending pictures. They were well taken care of and you could see that they were happy and comfortable around her. Very professional and communicative. She was also very respectful of our home.”

About: I’ve been my all of my friends favorite dog sitter for more than 10 years! They love feeling happy and safe when their pets are with me because of how much I care and love on animals. I also love sending photo updates! I am currently working part time as a real estate agent so I have plenty of time for your pups! I usually come home every couple of hours during the day and am always home in the evenings. I have a great big backyard and love playing fetch with all pups! I have a young golden retriever who is here some of the time to play with your dogs or can keep her at her other house if needed during your stay. My cat Trigger will happily spend your pups stay locked up in my sunny bedroom when I'm not home, so don't worry about her. Trigger is used to lots of fun pups coming through and will keep his distance! I am currently working as a real estate agent and can come home all throughout the day to visit with the pups. I also work from home half the time which makes the dogs very happy! :) I have a very large backyard which is rare for the downtown area, your dogs will have plenty of room to run and I love to throw a ball and play with them. If your dog is down to snuggle I am all about it! I keep a very loving home and guarantee them to feel safe and cared for.

“Monica did an awesome job while staying in our home with our 2 pups. She communicated frequently and sent photos and videos at least twice a day. Upon our return home, the house was in great shape. Highly recommend her!”


“Olivia is an incredible pet care taker! She is very communicative, sends updates and pictures, takes amazing care of our pets and our home! We feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.
“If you are able to book with Alex. Book with Alex! Professional,caring, detail oriented, kind, transparent, and skilled. We have been lucky to be able to get scheduled with Alex for a couple events so far and another coming up. Zero anxiety when we are away because we know the pups are in beyond capable hands. Thanks, Alex!!! Zep and LeeLoo had a ball!”

About: Hi there. I am a dog mom, and have experience with all types of pets and their care. I communicate with my clients with daily update and make sure to add a few pictures. I know being away from your babies is hard, and pictures are the next best thing. I love going on adventures, and tug a war is my favorite. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I work part time and am available to set my schedule and work around anything really. I am also off weekend. This gives me alot of freedom and flexibility to work with your schedule and your pet needs. I would keep your fur baby company while you are away. Keeping them as active as possible. Also taking details notes about rules, diet, allergies and feeding schedules.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets. My dogs are my absolute world, so I know firsthand how important it is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your dog needs high-energy play, gentle senior care, or a reliable drop-in visit, you can trust they will be in safe, caring hands. Pet care is my full-time job, which means your pets will have my complete, undivided attention throughout the day. I have total flexibility with my schedule to accommodate custom feeding routines, high-energy play sessions, frequent potty breaks, and comforting companionship whenever they need it. I provide a safe, secure, and welcoming environment tailored completely to your pet's needs. Whether hanging out at my place or checking in at yours, I am vigilant about pet-proofing, keeping routines consistent, and handling any special care instructions with total responsibility so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.
“Chanelle was beyond amazing! She was incredibly flexible and helpful when there was a delayed flight and stayed longer than initially planned. She’s super kind and sends daily updates which I really appreciated”


“Aaniyah took really great care of Cookie and Stella while we were away for a few days. She kept us updated with pictures and was very responsive. Very thankful she was available on such short notice. Definitely will try to book her next time. Thanks Aaniyah!”

“What an amazing couple of Pet Sitters! They send us pictures and give us updates, clean up after themselves wash their towels leave the house looking better than it was when they got here!!! they are responsive and caring!”

About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lockhart
We had a great experience with Sydney. She managed our young golden doodle perfectly, but the real surprise was her bond with our 14-year-old cat. She’s normally very standoffish, but she was sitting on her lap in less than an hour! Sydney is patient, professional, and clearly loves what she does. We will definitely be booking her again.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
