“Kristina was awesome and went above and beyond! She cared for each of my dogs individually, one is very elderly and the other very energetic. She provided thoughtful updates and cute pics. Will definitely be calling her again!”
“Sydney was great to work with! I needed a last-minute sitter with very little notice, and she went out of her way to make it happen. Even though we only scheduled a quick drop-in, she still sent several pictures of the pups and let us know when one of them refused to eat their dinner. It was so reassuring to know they were getting care and detailed attention. Sydney will definitely be my first call next time I need a sitter.”
About: Hello! Welcome to my profile! :) My name is Yari, me and my husband are both Army veterans who just moved to Lockhart in 2024. We are so happy to be here. I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs like (Nacho the pug) for all of his life (all of 16 years) and my Luna for 13 years. I have over 15 years of dog sit/ in-home check-in experience for multiple families. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have a BIG fenced yard with 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house and yard.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and will naturally have a soft spot for your family friend. I have a little over 10 years experience. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and happy while their parents are away! I am always happy to send photo updates so you know how your doggo is doing each visit. I am currently a stay at home wife, meaning I have a very flexible schedule right now! I am available most week days and weekends, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding or check ins, I make sure that each pet gets the time and care they need. I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet friendly home where dogs can play and relax comfortably. I prioritize safety and will follow your dog's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks and any special care they may need. If you prefer your dog is crated for them to feel safe and secure, you will have to provide a crate but I can absolutely accommodate to that.
About: From growing up with my childhood dog, and multiple dogs at my grandmothers house, I’ve had experience with dogs since a very young age. I currently have three sweethearts. An American cocker spaniel, a rescue pup, and a rescue kitten. I have watched countless friends dogs and cats as well, and will never say no. I’m absolutely in love with any and all kinds of animals. Your babies will be treated just like mine! Just like family🩷! I currently am self employed and pick my own schedule. I usually work early am around 3 am to around 8 am. My evening shifts are around 3-4 hours long as well. My schedule is always available to be changed for your pet needs. All care instructions will be followed. Pets are also allowed on the furniture, and crates are also available. Daily play and walks are also provided
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.
“Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.”
“My very shy German Shepherd loves Tiffany. She is calm, gentle, and really knows how to approach dogs, even shy ones like Ernie. He always gives her kisses. She's also quite knowledgeable about training and gave me some great tips. She has visited multiple times and I will keep calling on her!”
About: I was raised on a farm, giving me lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds. I also foster and adopt pets, and I treat every animal like family. I provide dependable, loving care and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of affection while you’re away. I work remotely weekdays until 2:00 PM, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings for pet care. During the school year, I’m also available for morning visits after 8:00 AM. I have two young children who often accompany me on errands, so I’m best suited for friendly, child-comfortable pets. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard, pet-friendly dogs, cats, and children, and I’m responsible, reliable, respectful of your home, privacy, and your pet’s unique needs.
About: Just relocated to TX from Salt Lake City and we are doing this! Grew up in Northern California, oldest daughter of animal lovers--dogs, cats, pigs, horses--and had zig zagged across the nation before finally settling in Salt Lake City, Utah for 26 years, 15 of which was dedicated to growing my own pet sitting business, 10 of those 15 years going full-time at it. Over the 10 full-time years, I was the sole proprietor and employee, gathering all new family info, communicating about dates and making sure the calendar is 100% accurate, doing every sit and organizing my days for time efficiency, and reaching out to families to ensure they know all is wonderful so they can enjoy (to the highest extent possible) their time away from their pet. Being the sole sitter for a business of that size was intense but from the depths of that intensity came truly profound connections with these pets and their families, as well as a lot of good humorous times. Which led to another business but I digress. Before I left Salt Lake City for my new venture in Austin-ish in June 2026, I was still sitting for over 60 families, some of whom had been with me for at least a decade. I am conscientious, joyful, observant, and above all attentive to the language of animals (e.g., their behavior) so as to forever reach towards getting to watch them fully experience the sense of trust and safety they deserve. I plan to work part-time in the public schools come fall so: Summer: I'm available nearly any time with no conflicts. Fall and Winter: I'll be available early mornings (5:30 a.m.) to about 10 a.m., and after school starting at 2 p.m. on up to 9 p.m. I can only do drop-in visits rather than boarding because my resident dogs aren't so keen on other canines, if you catch my drift. Wouldn't be a good fit, so to speak.
About: With 10 years of hands-on experience in caring for animals, I am passionate about providing the best care and attention to pets. I thrive in environments where I can be surrounded by animals, and their presence genuinely enhances my day. My goal is to pursue a career as a veterinarian, where I can continue to care for and improve the lives of pets. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of all animals and am eager to contribute my expertise and love for pets to a professional setting. I’m currently on summer break and available full-time for pet care until school starts back in August. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide dedicated attention, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day based on your pet’s needs. I have a dedicated space in my home for the pets I care for, complete with toys for playtime and a designated feeding area. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. I always make sure pets are fed at the times requested and that they have fresh water available at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining your pet’s regular routine.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats. I've always had a passion for animals, especially after growing up with several pets, so I love seeing everyone's cute pets I have a completely open schedule at the moment. So I'll be free at any moment and won't turn down a request unless already doing one. I try to make it as seamless as possible since pets can usually get stressed without their parents. Just extra love and following the routine you have already set.
“Jenisa was wonderful! She was available on short notice, which we truly appreciated. She arrived on time, communicated well, and even sent us pictures during her visit. We were very pleased with how she cared for our three cats and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Ande was a great choice! She is very professional and responsive and provides great feedback and photos. Ande is also super nice and helps put nervous pet parents at ease. This was our kitties first time alone and I was completely comfortable that he was taken care of. Thanks Ande!”
About: Animals have been at the center of my world for as long as I can remember; I grew up in a family that owned cats since before I was born, and I’ve been learning how to care for them since early childhood—even hand-rearing a newborn kitten when I was just 12. Today, I care for my own two cats, look after four more for senior family members, and have regularly dog-sat a friend's Corgi for nearly two years. I'm currently working a flexible schedule. So I have plenty of opportunity to help out with your pets and whichever needs they may have. I have a great dog park at my apartment. I have all of the necessary skills and equipment to take care of your fur baby. I also have 2 cats that can keep your pet company, but I can easily isolate them if necessary.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lockhart is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lockhart
Kristina was able to drop in very last minute for our two pups when I got called out for a work trip. We have a crazy puppy and an anxious senior dog who both warmed up to her so quickly, you can tell she truly cares about animals. We are really grateful to have such a great sitter nearby!
I cannot recommend Katy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Frida, who is still adjusting after our recent move. Contractors showed up unexpectedly during the week, and she thoughtfully asked if they’d be back so she could plan her visits around them; just to help minimize stress for Frida. That level of care and consideration meant so much. Her visit reports were incredibly thorough. She detailed every litter box scoop (including type), and when Frida got into human food in the pantry, she not only took photos but also made sure the food was secured so it wouldn’t happen again. At one point we thought our auto feeder had failed, and she troubleshot it until she confirmed it was working properly. Frida, who is usually shy, warmed up to her instantly and showered her with affection at every visit. It was clear she has a natural gift with cats; she truly is the cat lady of Lockhart. I’d be thrilled to book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you want someone who treats your pet like their own and gives you total peace of mind, she’s the one!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lockhart stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
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.
