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.

Alex is the best! Highly conscientious, a great communicator, and a real animal lover! Our dog's digestive challenges didn't faze him and he worked hard to develop a connection with her. (she's very shy and wary of strangers). At his suggestion, we had two meet-and-greet sessions and Alex took careful note of all the information we gave him. Alex left the house in perfect condition, even washing and changing the sheets on the bed. We would ask Alex back anytime! Thank you, Alex!

Corina was absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend as a dog sitter. We have two larger/mid-size dogs. We received updates and photos at least twice a day. Communication was smooth and proactive. We know everything was being handled with care and as if we were home with them. The girls had the best time!

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 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.

We were so nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger. Epiphany was so professional and came and met our dog beforehand to calm our nerves. She came into our house and immediately sat on the floor, loving on our dog. She was fantastic. Our dog had a small bruise on his ear. She was so attentive it was monumentally better when we returned. She was flexible, calm, attentive and professional. Your pets will be in great hands!!!

She was amazing! She sent me pictures and made sure to let me know what was going on when I asked. She was also very understanding when I couldn’t answer sometimes due to being in a no phone zone. She left my apartment how I left with I deeply appreciated! Best sitter I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I have over two years of experience working as a kennel technician at a cat/dog boarding facility. I’m able to care for pets of all ages with all different kinds of health issues, including administering shots and medications. Talk to me about any questions or concerns you might have, and we can figure it out from there. Pet care is my priority right now, so I will have plenty of time to care for your loving fur baby. This includes play time! Allowing pets to stay in their own environment while owners are away is an excellent way to reduce your pet’s overall stress. I’m able to check in on your pet as many times as needed during your time away. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is my number one goal!

About: In addition to pet sitting, I also offer a convenient pet transportation service—perfect for safely getting your pet to and from grooming appointments, vet visits, or even a fun day out. It’s all part of my commitment to providing full-service care for your furry family member. As a special thank you, the first client to complete 7 consecutive days of pet sitting with us will receive a free pet transport and free grooming service on us! Your pet gets pampered—and you get peace of mind. As a dedicated pet sitter and loving pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care like family. I prioritize safety above all else, making sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you're away. With strong relationships with local groomers and vets, I’m well-connected and prepared for anything your pet may need. I offer personalized attention, dependable service, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in trusted hands. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because it’s not just a job—it’s my lifestyle. As a pet owner myself, I’m already on a consistent schedule of walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks. Adding another furry friend to the mix fits right in, and I’m always happy to give them the same love, attention, and structure I give my own dog. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with access to a secure backyard for play and potty breaks. I also take them on nearby trail walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. They’ll have companionship from my friendly miniature schnauzer, Luna, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine closely—meals, walks, and favorite activities—to help them feel secure and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect.

Gihan watched our baby for the first time and was wonderful with him. Very patient with his fussy quirks and really taking the time to get to know him better. We appreciated her sending updates and plenty of photos to keep us posted on how things were coming along throughout the day. We already have her booked again for our next time away!

Amy is Such a Great Petsitter I cant say enough about her! She took great notes and asked a lot of questions. She sent cute videos & even played with the cats. (Which is unusual unfortunately!) My house was clean & vacuumed upon my return! I felt a little bad when I got back, all 5 acted like they didn’t really miss me… which is what you want when choosing pet care! She also has a sense of humor. One of the first things I said to her was “oh, you’re a grown-up.” She responded “Why yes, thank you for noticing” 😂 if you don’t want to worry, and you’re looking for a grown-up, I highly recommend Amy!

Sydney did a great job taking care of our cats and our home. Our cats require a bit more TLC than what’s probably typical, and Sydney was very receptive when discussing their needs. Expect lots of pictures!!!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lockhart

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lockhart on Rover is $88.93 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,779 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
