“Iuliia was the absolute best with our boy, and she saved us with a last minute booking. The best rover we could have asked for, especially with our dog having separation anxiety. She was so good with him!”
“We would absolutely book with Olivia again! She took such great care of our mini long haired dachshund, was very friendly and prompt with communication, and was great about sending updates and pictures of our pup. Definitely highly recommend!”
“Grace took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She gave us updates, which we really appreciated, and was patient with him since he can take time to warm up and adjust. It was clear he was comfortable and happy in her care. We can't go wrong with Grace and will definitely use her again!”
“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”
“Yan took wonderful care of Midas as always ☺️ She sent tons of photos and videos of Midas playing and chilling with other dogs. Midas considers Yan’s house as his second home now and he loves being there! If anyone is in need of a caring, safe, and reliable dog sitter book with Yan.”
“My dog is old, deaf, has cloudy eyes and a bit of incontinence, but they said they could take care of him. He seemed to have a good time. I was sent photos of him playing, he ate all his food and there didn't seem to be any issues. Because my dog is old I worry, but I felt really good about his stay.”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Mercedes was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures! She took very well care of my Jackson and we were happy to have booked her! Will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Savannah and Gabriel have been fantastic caregivers for Gus! Their communication is quick and consistent, and the photos they send each day show what a great job they're doing at keeping the pups in their care very happy. I'm grateful for the peace of mind I had while traveling, since I knew my dog was in such fantastic hands.”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Pretty sure Brisket had the time of his life at Lauren’s! He was excited from the moment he stepped in and saw Lauren’s precious dog and was still in a great mood when he came home. Lauren regularly sent photos and let me know how he was doing. Would def recommend Lauren.”
“Charlotte,our corgi, had a wonderful time with Tiffany and Rob. She thought that she was on vacation at an exclusive canine resort. We received numerous phots showing her zooming, relaxing hanging out with her two new Boston Terrier friends. Herding kitties and chillaxing. Thank you so much Tiffany and Robfor the care that you showed her.”
“My dog had the best weekend with Nathan! He is truly a dog lover! My dog had much higher expectations of me when she returned home 😂. Nathan is attentive, caring and his home is very welcoming for his guests. We would rebook with him without question!”
“Patches is by far the best dog-sitter we’ve ever had. She obviously loves animals but she also took the time to reassure us by sending updates and pictures without us even asking. Drop-off and pick-up was a breeze. But, best of all, we could tell our pup was really happy, which made it so much easier to have to be away from him. Thank you, Patches! We’ll be using you again!”
“Our Great Danes had the best time with both Youna and Nick! They texted us pictures and kept us us very in the loop. Our pups are not the easiest to take care of and they did a great job. ☺️ we will for sure be using them more in the future!”

“Linda was great! She watched our two dogs and they really seemed to love her. She sent some awesome videos and pictures and even played training games with our very timid boxer to get her more comfortable around her—and it worked! I’d highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I am a self-described cat lady - I absolutely love cats! I’ve had cats ever since I can remember, with experience and a soft spot for caring for senior cats. I’ve also cared for a pregnant cat and then helped raise a litter of kittens! Additionally, I have experience in administering medication to kitties. I have a few cats of my owns, so it may be better for me to care for your kitty in their own environment. However, my cats are used to other pets in the home, so your kitty is more than welcome at my home. I offer complimentary meet and greets to see if it’s a good fit.
“This is the second time I’ve asked Sydney to keep my cats company and she did not disappoint! I could tell they were happy and receiving a ton of attention with all the pictures she would send. Absolute best for peace of mind!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”
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.

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
“Brandy responded to a very last minute request for my sick kitty which I appreciated. She followed the directions and was very communicative. She took care of my kitty and I felt at ease that she was in good hands.”
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've taken care of cats since I was 12. I personally hand-raised and nurtured a newborn kitten. Today, alongside caring for my own two beloved cats, I help manage the care of four additional family cats belonging to older relatives.
About: My home was the safe haven for poor stray cats. I’d always bring them in my home so they stay safe. Cats are great! I’ve once housed 10 cats; 2 mothers, 2 of my own personal kitties, and the rest were kittens. I’m patient with them, and understand cats vary between person to person. The only reason I don’t own a cat now is simply because my boyfriend is allergic. Ugh, I love kitties!

About: I have a Boston Terrier. She loves to play and meet new friends. We're always ready to welcome new four legged play date(s) in our home. 😊 🐕 I work from home so your pup will get plenty of attention, along with plenty of play time in our yard as well as some neighborhood walks.

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.

About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.
“Anthony was great! Quick response to daycare request and kept me updated with videos and pictures of Max. Max looked very happy and was nice and pooped when we got home! Definitely recommend!”
“Cannot say how much we appreciate Iuliia and her care of our boy. She saved us in a last minute situation with our very anxious dog, and was amazing with him. Best rover we could have asked for.”
“Stephanie and Fern are the best pet sitters! They're friendly and always keeps us updated with plenty of pictures and videos! Its more like doggie camp for Grover because hes never bored and is always on an adventure! If you want your dog to have the best day while youre away, use Stephanie!”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Yan! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Mirella, a Texas State University student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve owned and cared for pets for over 8 years and have experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m currently the proud owner of a cat. I’ve pet-sat for friends with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Anatolian Shepherds and Pit Bull mixes to Dachshunds and Maltese—and have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Years of caring for animals have taught me patience, responsibility, and confidence working with pets of all temperaments. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. In my free time, you’ll usually find me running, hiking, or spending the day at the river, so I’m always excited to get outside with energetic pups. Whether your pet enjoys long walks and adventures or prefers relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs.

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.

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
“Thank you! Blayre went above and beyond! She came to my rescue within minutes! She also came at night which helped a lot. She had her own leash and even walked her for 39 minutes! Thanks!!!”
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.

About: Hi there! Thank you for checking out my profile! I have been professionally working in the animal care industry since 2018. From small family owned businesses to corporate owned facilities. I have worked alongside experienced trainers and with amazing groomers, but most of my career I spent working as a kennel manager at a boarding/daycare/vet facility. I now work more with shelters and rescues in the area. This being said I have worked with MANY different temperaments over the years and pride myself in being well versed in dog body language and behavior. I also am experienced with other species such as birds and reptiles. I'm passionate about animal care and have always worked to grow my skills in this field! Please feel free to message me with any questions! *(Flexible with my rates/days message me! I will work with you!) * Thank you for reading, hope to hear from you soon!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my daily routine. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to pets’ needs and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets with someone they can trust. I have experience with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for both energetic pets and older animals that may need a calmer environment and extra patience. Since I live in a pet-friendly apartment, I’m able to provide a safe and welcoming space for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible throughout the week, especially during mornings, afternoons, and weekends depending on my classes and work shifts. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, walks, feeding, and playtime while they’re with me. I’m organized and dependable, and I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, feeding instructions, walks, and supervision, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care.

“Iuliia was the absolute best with our boy, and she saved us with a last minute booking. The best rover we could have asked for, especially with our dog having separation anxiety. She was so good with him!”
“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”
“Yan took wonderful care of Midas as always ☺️ She sent tons of photos and videos of Midas playing and chilling with other dogs. Midas considers Yan’s house as his second home now and he loves being there! If anyone is in need of a caring, safe, and reliable dog sitter book with Yan.”
“My dog is old, deaf, has cloudy eyes and a bit of incontinence, but they said they could take care of him. He seemed to have a good time. I was sent photos of him playing, he ate all his food and there didn't seem to be any issues. Because my dog is old I worry, but I felt really good about his stay.”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Charlotte,our corgi, had a wonderful time with Tiffany and Rob. She thought that she was on vacation at an exclusive canine resort. We received numerous phots showing her zooming, relaxing hanging out with her two new Boston Terrier friends. Herding kitties and chillaxing. Thank you so much Tiffany and Robfor the care that you showed her.”
“My dog had the best weekend with Nathan! He is truly a dog lover! My dog had much higher expectations of me when she returned home 😂. Nathan is attentive, caring and his home is very welcoming for his guests. We would rebook with him without question!”
“Our Great Danes had the best time with both Youna and Nick! They texted us pictures and kept us us very in the loop. Our pups are not the easiest to take care of and they did a great job. ☺️ we will for sure be using them more in the future!”
“Luca absolutely loves Desmond and Robyn! We’ve used them a handful of times and Luca comes back so exhausted from all of the playing. The updates are amazing and communication incredible. We’ll continue bringing Luca back thank you!!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was young. In high school I moved to a ranch and helped raise animals from horses to peacocks. Most recently, I have experience in healthcare and am comfortable with administering medications to your furry family members. My family moved to San Marcos and ready to open our home to your family. We do have a one year old girl and a baby on the way. So I ask to use your best judgement if your pet will be a good fit with us. My schedule is wide open at the moment, but can change quickly with a little one at home. I will be communicative of when I am not available and work to accommodate everyone. Our home has a good sized fenced yard. We also love to go on walks. If your pet has any favorite toys I would be happy to play until their heart is content.

“Gail and Quinn are fantastic hosts! We received regular updates and pictures and it was so obvious our pup was treated with kindness and care. It's such a relief to be able to leave town and know that our dog will have a great time. Thank you, Gail!”
