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.

“Keana was amazing!! She loved our fur babies, sent updates and pictures, left our home in perfect order and did everything we asked!! We are already setting up our next appointment. Keana is kind, attentive and transparent. Couldn't have asked for a better fit!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets since I was a kid. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own—an energetic Husky and a sweet Aussie Doodle we rescued. I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to be attentive and present with your pets. I’m looking for a part-time opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with animals is at the top of that list! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I’d love to be that person for you. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work remotely, so I'm home throughout the day to provide attention, walks, playtime, and affection. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to easily care for other pets around my own dogs’ needs. Whether it’s early morning walks or midday check-ins, I can adapt based on the pet’s routine. When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routines. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully I’m mindful of things like secure leashing, feeding schedules, and medications—trust and transparency are essential for me in every pet-sitting experience.
“Amy was absolutely fantastic!! I could tell my boy was being super well taken care of while we were out of town. She communicated with us throughout the day and shared videos and photos of him. Would highly recommend!!”


“Monica was fantastic! Our pets were well cared for as was our home. She sent pictures daily along with a text as to how things were going. It really put our minds at ease while we were away to know that our fur babies were in loving and capable hands. We prefer in home care as our senior cat does not board well and the dog prefers her own turf too. Monica took care of our home and left it in perfect condition. We have found someone we have complete confidence in and our pets are comfortable and happy with. We will be using her in the future for our pet sitting needs.”


“They did a great job looking after my sweet boy while I was out of town, I would definitely recommend them. They stayed in contact and gave me regular updates, which really put me at ease about the whole thing. My boy has separation anxiety so I was worried, but he was absolutely fine with his new friends.”

“If I could give more stars I would! Raven is an absolute dream to have watch your furr- babies! She is very attentive and communicative. She sent me lots of updates and I received lots of photos and videos. She also was very respectful of my home. It was a GREAT experience and I am so thrilled she worked out! Not to mention that my dogs loved her!! Thank you, Raven! We will def be seeing you again!”

“Hannah was sooo phenomenal truly! We unfortunately had AC issues while we were gone and she was supportive and ready to help wherever. Our pups & home were well taken care of! 🫶🏻”

“Layla and Gracie were incredible! We came home to some very happy boys and a very well taken care of home. They were very communicative and kept us updated with pictures, which we absolutely loved. We (and our pets) are very much looking forward to working with them again!”

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.
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”

“Aaliyah was awesome! Our dog, Gracie, absolutely loved her. Aaliyah took Gracie on daily excursions and was very good at matching them to our dog’s physical abilities. Aaliyah’s communication skills are excellent. She texted me often with updates and pictures. Gracie needs daily medication and Aaliyah had no problems managing her complicated schedule. I will definitely call her again the next time we go away and feel comfortable recommending her to others.”

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m great with routines and can follow any specific instructions you have—because I know every pet is different. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with time built in for play, feeding, and companionship. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time through regular walks and supervised potty breaks. Safety is my top priority—I always keep dogs on a leash outside and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside, pets have a calm, secure space to relax, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels at home.

“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!”


About: Hi! I’m Madi — a lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a senior cat and a dog, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, routines, and care needs that pets can have.I’m especially comfortable with cats (including shy or senior cats), but I also enjoy spending time with dogs who love walks, playtime, and outdoor time. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend meaningful time with pets rather than rushing through visits.

“Norm was great. Peaches loves him even though he smelled like other dogs. He took good care of our dog and house. I would recommend him to everyone. He did an extra long stay for a once in a life time trip. My Great Dane was his blanket every night.”

About: I have rescue for 40 years and really connect with animals. Sad to say, my daughter said sometimes better than people. They are people to me! Trust is always the most important for me with the animals I care for. I fit into their schedule mostly. So they can return home with out to much adjustment if at all. The dogs and cats I have been watching tend to like the fact that I can meet their needs as they should. I am semi retired and work at home so I like to keep there routines as much as I can. So that the owners do not have to go through all the transitions. I very active as well. I like to create a trust/bond so the owners that I have been helping to date tend to like that I am ready available because like consistency for they animal, they do not like to switch sitters. That I would prefer and so do most of my clients. They need to feel at home. Also would prefer to have knowledge of pets doctor. Never have needed. Also any personally traits on need to know basis. Every Pet in different. I have not had many bookings on the rover site to date, but always been 100%. Only because I have a lot clients that I have had for a long time on my own and at the complex I at. Lots of word of mouth for me. I only watch one on one at a time. I believe in giving my full attention one at a time. I like to keep with there owners schedule as best I can. So that is makes the transition of coming and going easy. Animals just seem to get attached to me. Trust is the most important for all animals I care for.

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.
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
