“Our first time using Rover and leaving our Sadie for a long period of time! Michelle was AMAZING!!! She sent pictures of Sadie all week and updates to calm my nerves while we were away! Sadie had the best time and could tell she was well taken care of and loved while we were away! My heart was at ease while in Michelle’s home/care! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!! You were a blessing!”
“Susan and her family are amazing, she took the time to get to know us so everyone was comfortable leading into the stay. We are so happy to have found her as she cared for our golden like he was part of her family. The updates were great and we especially liked the report card after. Thanks Susan!”
“Great experience! The whole family gets involved and my youngest dog is huge on attention so it was a great fit for him. And my older dog likes quiet and solitude which their house offered as well. Everybody was happy! Highly recommend!”
“Roki did an amazing job and our pup felt right at home! She’s super friendly and cares a lot about the pets ❤️ Definitely booking with her again for an amazing experience”
“Angela took wonderful care of Bailey. She treated Bailey like a member of her household. Lots of pictures and videos assured us she was contented and following her normal routine. Your dog will feel right at home here.”
“Timothy did a great job taking care of Skipper . He sent a video of him playing and a photo of skipper sleeping in the bed . Always answer me back in a timely fashion when I was checking up on skipper.”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“Such a wonderful family! Luna and Bruno loved their stay and their parents loved all the updates and pictures! I am so happy I found such a wonderful family for my doggies!”
“Abby had great communication and sent me daily updates of our pups while I was out of time! Thank you for taking care of Paisley and Moose aka my monster (he’s sweet, but a high energy chocolate lab that can be a lot sometimes, especially if he thinks he can get away with murder 🙄).”
About: I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. My experience includes feeding, daily walks, potty training and routines, playtime, basic grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. Having raised puppies, I’m also familiar with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs need. I’m comfortable caring for both puppies and adult dogs and will follow your dog’s normal routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout most of the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate each pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent outdoor time, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout their stay. I also have plenty of flexibility for drop-off and pick-up times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. For boarding, I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and currently have one cat and no dogs in the home. I only board pets from one family at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. If your dog is uncomfortable with cats, I can keep my cat safely separated during their stay. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is in my care!
“Thank you so much for taking great care of my floofster!! He has been knocked out since we got home 😂😂 Thank you for the photos and updates all weekend!!! I will definitely use you again in the future and recommend you to everyone!!!”
“Martine was such a pleasure to work with. She has a beautiful home in a beautiful safe area with an enclosed backyard that my dog really appreciated. She had no problem administering medicine that my dog needs and they seem to have a great time together and enjoyed little walks around the neighborhood. I highly recommend Martine as a trusted pet sitter who has a warm heart for pets”
“Sarah was great! She treated my Lola girl like one of her own and spoiled her rotten!! Lola loved being there and I will definitely use her in the future when needed! I was very nervous at doing something like this, but she assured me throughout my whole trip and sent me several pictures that everything was okay. So now I have a different view of using something like this and will even use it for one of my other dogs in the future. Definitely recommend Sarah ❤️”
“Pros: we got our dogs back in one piece and they seemed to be fed and happy, so I guess I can’t complain too much. Negatives: *this is just constructive criticism and left 5 stars because I don’t want to affect the rover’s status as they seem to have many other happy reoccurring clients.* the only pitfall for us was that we only received 2 updates on our dogs 7 day stay and we had to ask for them. We only received 1 pic of each dog. This left us with a bit of anxiety while we had limited service and out of the country. So we would have liked more unsolicited updates just to ease our minds.”
“Jenni loves Dogs and his taken care of lucky a few times we will continue to use her. Their two dogs are very sweet and fun loving and there’s a big yard and the house is really nice I hope you give her a chance to take care of your pup”
“Hector is so wonderful with Ollie. Hector makes Ollie feel very calm and welcomed when staying with him. Hector is attentive and makes sure Ollie is always ok. Thank you Hector!”
“Amy was the most amazing sitter ever ♥️ this was our first time using Rover and she went above and beyond for our babies ! We felt at peace knowing they were well taken care of and loved at her home :) she gave us daily pictures and updates. She has also been so flexible with our schedule, especially since our flights were changed .”

Love love love!!! Can’t say good enough things about the care & attentiveness Lahnna provides for my dog when she cares for him. Big peace of mind to know he’s in good hands while I’m busy working and one less thing to worry about. Daily updates are always received and clear communication.
We had a wonderful experience! Rebel was so well cared for and seemed completely comfortable the entire time. We received frequent photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and every picture looked like she was right at home with us. It was clear she was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Katarzyna always provides the best care for Jax! She goes the extra mile to ensure I’m comfortable by sending pics daily and makes sure to stay in touch while Jax is in her care. I never worry about him while we are away because she is awesome with him! Will definitely book again for our next vacation, 100% five stars!! ⭐️
Ari is one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever experienced! I genuinely don’t think I’ll book with anyone else from now on. I have a very high-energy German Shepherd who can get a little mischievous without enough stimulation, and Ari took that need for playtime and activity so seriously. It was honestly the calmest my dog has ever been after staying with a Rover sitter. I booked with her for back-to-back weekends, and seeing how excited my dog was to see her again gave me so much comfort and reassurance. Ari truly cared for and loved my dog like she was her own baby, and you could tell by how comfortable and happy my dog was with her. It honestly felt like she had a second mom. I cannot recommend Ari enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in El Lago on Rover is $37.74 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,774 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across El Lago. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of El Lago sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which El Lago landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their El Lago home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your El Lago.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your El Lago sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
