It's impossible as such. The client side app needs the key to function. You could make it much *harder* to find (eg transfer it only in a encrypted AJAX request) but its still going to be pretty easy to figure out (ie will get written into network requests to Google) .
For the static API can sign your requests (server side!) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/get-api-key#digital-signature but not really for 'Dynamic' Javascript API. Frankly if you've setup the key correctly in console, it should be very hard to abuse.
