“Hera had a wonderful time, Susan and her husband were very attentive over her and treated her like family, would definitely recommend to friends and family”
“Michelle was perfect to watch my puppy all week! She was so kind and sweet to my dog. She would even send photos of her everyday while we were gone and is very communicative. 10/10!”
“Angelo is an exceptional pet sitter who truly goes the extra mile. He creates a calm, comfortable space for every pet in his care, and his thoughtful updates are incredibly reassuring. It’s clear he genuinely cares—his attention, kindness, and dedication make all the difference. I always felt completely at ease when our Bella stayed with him. Highly recommend!”
“Liz and her sweet family always take such good care of our fur baby. Anytime we leave her there, we never worry. She has been our sitter for a few years now and have never had any issues.”
“First time boarding my recently adopted dog Turkey. I could not have gotten luckier than to have found Roki on the Rover website. Communicated well prior to my dropping off Turkey. Was extremely welcoming when we arrived. Beautiful fenced in back yard and very gentle golden retriever for Turkey to play with. Highly recommend Roki.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Hunter. Brew came back from his 7 day fun-filled stay with Hunter, Sage and Shadow well behaved and exhausted! I received daily pictures and videos of their adventures, which were much appreciated ? She took such good care of him and loved him like her own. I will definitely be a repeat customer if she’s still willing to take puppies after a full week of Brew ? Thanks again Hunter!”
“Angela was a blessing! We were gone for 10 days and being new to the area we were so worried about leaving our pups. She took the very best care of our pups and they seemed very happy when we picked them up! We will definitely used Angela again and we highly recommend her. She is very loving and experienced and we could not be more pleased.”
“Alyssa and her family took such good care of our dog and she sent so many updates! He was well loved and well taken care of and we will definitely book with her again. He had a great time!!”
“Kenya had a great time with Emily! She sent me great photos of Kenya throughout, and was very willing to work with my ever-changing schedule! She even sent Kenya home with a goodie bag :)”
“We couldn't have been happier with Abby's care for our dog. As other reviews have mentioned, she was not only incredibly loving and attentive to our dog, she also did an amazing job of keeping us informed of how our dog was doing. We have an older Doberman that has lived with us her entire life, in the same house, and sometimes requires a little more attention and care (meds, e.g.) so we were a little nervous about leaving her somewhere else for a few days but that nervousness was completely unwarranted. She really did treat our dog as if she was her own. We couldn't imagine leaving our dog with anyone other than Abby going forward and obviously we highly recommend using her to anyone else looking for a a reliable, loving pet sitter.”
“Ashley was the best! I felt like my Otis was loved and well taken care of. He looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! She is my go to dog sitter from now on.”
“Jaclyn is fantastic. She was very accommodating to our rescue puppy who has a few strange idiosyncrasies when separated from his family...some so strange that other boarders refused to take our puppy in. Her communication was steady and reliable; and she went out of her way to send pictures and videos to ensure my kids didn't miss their best pal too much on vacation. When our flights were delayed, Jaclyn was very easy to work with to adjust our reservations. Would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
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’m currently a law student with a flexible weekly schedule. I’m fully available Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My schedule gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and boarding. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible to help keep their routine consistent. 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. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around cats. 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!
“We recently adopted a dog and this was our first time leaving her with a sitter. She has some less than fun behaviors we are still working out and Zee was great with her! We felt confident booking with her and during our vacation we received tons of updates and pictures. We couldn’t be happier and would love to book again for our next trip.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in El Lago is $40

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! 12/10 She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well cared for. She took wonderful care of him, and Bean quickly became so comfortable with her and really took a liking to her. I’m incredibly grateful for how attentive, reliable, and caring she was. I would absolutely recommend her services and will definitely book with her again!
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in El Lago on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,768 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.
