About: I provide highly personalized, limited-capacity pet care for owners who want a truly attentive, above and beyond alternative to traditional kennel boarding or high-volume sitting. Because I’m home most of the day, boarding guests spend their stay living alongside me and receiving companionship and attention throughout the day. I board only one client household at a time, so your pets receive my dedicated attention throughout their stay rather than competing with unfamiliar animals or multiple bookings. I prioritize quality over volume, so I intentionally accept only a limited number of bookings each month. This allows me to tailor each stay around your pet’s individual routine, personality, comfort level, and needs. I also love going beyond the basics when it’s appropriate for the pet. That might mean extra play sessions, longer walks, special treats approved by their owner, or even joining us for an outing or adventure. My goal isn’t just to make sure your pet is fed and safe while you’re away—I want them to feel genuinely cared for, entertained, and loved. I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication routines, and pets who may need extra patience while settling into a new environment. I also tailor communication to each pet parent’s preferences. Some owners love frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, while others prefer a simple daily check-in. I’m happy to provide updates as often as you’d like so you can feel completely informed and connected while you’re away. When I accept a booking, I intentionally structure my schedule so your pet is my priority. I do not stack my calendar with other pet-care clients, appointments, or commitments that would compete for my attention while your pet is in my care. This is a major part of the premium experience I provide. Rather than fitting your pet into an already busy schedule, I reserve that time specifically for them so I can be present for hourly potty breaks and outdoor time, playtime, walks, enrichment, affection, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is for your pet to receive the kind of devoted attention I would want for my own. Because I reserve my time so intentionally, all bookings are confirmed only after a successful meet & greet. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and individual needs are always my priority. I live in a one-story home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy frequent supervised potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime throughout the day. I currently have one cat and no dogs of my own, and my cat can remain completely separate from visiting pets when needed. For boarding and daycare, I accept only one client household at a time. I do not mix unrelated clients’ pets, which allows me to maintain a calmer, more controlled environment and give your pet my individualized attention. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, behavioral boundaries, and any other care instructions closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Leon and his family took great care of Finn while we were on an anniversary trip. We get pictures and comments during his stay putting us at ease that he is being well care for. This is our second time to use Leon. We can highly recommend his services.”
“Hector is very engaging and communicates very well regarding my pet!! He is very caring and does very well with my pet and I wouldn’t want anybody else to watch her. His animals are very well behaved and very friendly as well.”
“Alexis and Sean took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Their communication was great and I would highly recommend them for anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Ashley and Chantelle were amazing!! They were such a life saver for me and I really appreciated that they could accommodate my last minute booking. The treated my baby boy so well and showed him so much love 💕 They provided me with lots of picture and video updates as well which gave me peace of mind.

About: Hi, My name is Tammy. If you are in the need of a responsible and caring person to look after your pets then your in the right place. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter for 15+years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up always having furry friends of my own and caring for other animals/pets or strays (my parents loved this,😊) around the neighborhood and I couldn't imagine my life without them. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. They have brought so much joy and happiness to me in life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on mine. I have my own business so my schedule is open to move things around as needed. I can even be called last minute if needed if an emergency happens. Life happens and your fur-baby has to be taken care of. As of now I will need to care for your pet at your home. I have a dog that is nice but getting older she’s become grumpy. I would just never take a chance on anyone getting hurt. My pets have always been like my kids and your pets will be cared for the way I would expect my fur-babies to be cared for ❤️🐾
“Sandy was great! This was the first time we had to find a new sitter because our usual sitter was out of town. My Stanley is like my own son, and I was very nervous about dropping him off for 10 days with someone I didn’t know. Sandy was so kind and made me feel very comfortable. She treated my Stanley with love and care. Sandy sent me several pictures a day, and made me feel at ease. She knew I was nervous (haha) but after the first hour she sent me a picture of him spread out on the floor with his tummy up! I knew he was in good hands then, and your pup will be too!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Lago
This was the first time Chloe stayed with Iahnna but I could tell she was 100% relaxed and happy. Iahnna has a beautiful, safe home with a large secured yard and I received a video every day of Chloe playing and having a great time! They even took her to the beach and walking on the trails near their home, I really could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! 🐶
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 of Dog Boarding in El Lago is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $49 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in El Lago can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their El Lago home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
