“Aaliyah was such a great pick. She took really good care of my two pups while I was in Tennessee. She showed up on time twice a day to check in on them, she was a great communicator and went the extra mile for them and myself to feel comfortable. She will be my go to provider as long as she is available to do so. Thank you so much Aaliyah”
About: I’ve taken animal care classes and even interned at a veterinary clinic. I have experience with chronically ill pets and exotics. I am able to give medication via epidural injections and oral pills/liquid. I am able to track insulin levels and follow specialized diets. I am able to watch your fur babies any time during the week or weekend! I have free availability as I am currently looking for a job. When I was younger I had a chronically ill senior pet that I had to give epidural injections to during specialized meal times twice a day. My current pet has a neurological condition which impairs her mobility to an extent and so I’ll wipe her down once a week and clean her bottom whenever I notice she’s dirty to keep her sanitary and clean as it’s a bit of a struggle for her to clean her bottom herself due to her cerebellar hypoplasia.
“We had an amazing experience with Sydney through the Rover app! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our pet’s needs. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and went above and beyond to make sure our furry friend felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It’s clear that Sydney genuinely cares about animals, and we could tell our pet was in the best hands. When we got back, everything was clean, organized, and our pet was happy and relaxed which gave us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. She’s truly a gem, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I know most people will talk about their experiences and how long they've loved/owned pets and animals, so instead of telling you about my own, I will tell you something that I understand and that every pet owner wants to hear from a pet caregiver: They are more than animals who you play with, take on walks, feed or pet/give them belly rubs.. they're your family. As members of your family, it is my duty as a caregiver to make sure they are properly looked after, and more importantly: Loved and Respected. Both you and your family member will get your time and efforts worth, that is my vow as one who truly loves cats and dogs I'm looking for work right now, but I found about this and figured it'd be best to keep myself out there and making sure I ain't wasting away, especially when I get to help out folks and their family members 🙏 My schedule can change, but I'll be free most days from mornings to nights, and if staying at night is needed I can always couch crash if needed.. I'll bring my own blanket though lol As members of your family, I make sure they get not only properly fed and walked with, but that they get the attention, entertainment and discipline that you want from them! Whether they be dogs or cats, I know to give them space when I'm new and let them get used to my presence and scent. If they're skittish, I make sure to wear socks and not reach out to pet them, so that the footsteps don't spook em too often and that they don't think I'm chasing them 😅. I'm used to both auto feeders, wet food and custom made pet meals, so if you have a unique way to properly feed your pets I'll make sure to adhere to the procedure as well 🙂↕️. Same with their activities, I won't do anything you wouldn't want them to do, only things that you AND your family member approve of!
About: I’ve always been the go to person for taking care of pets for friends and family, had my own pets. I was a nomad from July 2024-January 2026 and took care of many homes and pets while their owners went on their own travels. I am well travelled and always respectful of the homes I’m in and have my own business so usually have flexibility in my daily schedule but I am organized and need notice to keep my stress levels low so I can spend time with your pets in a carefree way. My schedule is pretty flexible as I have my own business online mostly. I can usually accommodate feeding and walking schedules easily for my clients. I can offers reviews from another site I’ve been on when I stay in people’s homes. I’m a very neat and organized person and always leave homes as found.
“Kierstan was consistent and patient with my shy cat! She checked in every day, sent pictures to help me connect with the cat even while I was gone, and did the sweep I asked to check for any signs of unwellness or any issues that might not have been obvious otherwise. Thank you Kierstan!!!”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for my own cats and dog. I've handled daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and providing comfort for pets with different needs, including a dog with severe separation anxiety. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I can work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following owner instructions, keeping pets’ routines consistent, and giving them patience, attention, and care. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets.
About: I have helped take care of dogs of all ages since elementary. Nowadays I make fast friends with dogs and love bringing them out on walks. I love high energy breeds and helping them release all the pent up energy so that they sleep like a baby once they get home. Also work well with meeting low energy dogs at their level so that they have fun too. I am currently working full time as a researcher from home so my schedule is very flexible. Getting out of the house to visit pets or go on walks is as essential for my mental health as it is for your fur baby. I am not able to host dogs at this time, but make a priority of keeping the fur babies routine as much as possible when doing house visits and check ins. My goal is to eliminate as much stress as possible for your fur babies.
About: I’ve cared for multi-diverse manner dogs for 15+ years. I have experience and certification in behavior therapy. So I understand motivation, reinforcement, and attending to differing array of expressed behaviors, as-well as creating behavior interventions plans to train for appropriate/desired behaviors for clients. I’m a voice actor, so my schedule is as I dictate it to be. I’ve got commitments, however I’ve got loads of freedom to attend to dogs full-time. It’s a true joy. When I render services I’d like you to consider your lovely pet on a holiday surrounded by private security. They will be safe in my fenced neighborhood, I will be present and interactive, and will bring so much fun they’ll be bouncing to come back. All my family and friends love pets and show much affection. My place will be an extension of your family — if you’ll have us.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 20+ years of hands-on pet care. I provide walks that are safe, structured, and tailored to your dog’s personality—whether they’re high-energy and need a steady pace, or more sensitive and do best with a calm, reassuring approach. I pay attention to the details that matter: leash safety, hydration, heat awareness, paw checks, and reading body language so your dog feels secure and understood. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs, gentle with seniors, and consistent with dogs who thrive on routine. You’ll always know your dog is in good hands. I communicate clearly and treat your pet like family—so you can relax knowing they’re being cared for with love, respect, and reliability. If you’re looking for someone you can trust—who shows up, stays attentive, and truly cares—I’d love to meet you and your pup. My schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and flexible walk times throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as weekend care. Because I keep my schedule balanced, I’m able to give each dog calm, focused attention and unrushed care. Whether your pup needs a consistent routine or occasional help, I work with you to create a schedule that keeps them comfortable and secure. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I use secure leash handling, remain alert to surroundings, and adjust pace and distance based on weather, energy level, and your dog’s needs. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I create a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, which helps prevent overstimulation and supports anxious or sensitive pets. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and a trustworthy presence in your home.
About: Ever since I raised my dogs, I learned that they are more than just pets, they are family. It is all about patience and understanding their needs. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have 3 dogs where 2 of them understand Spanish while my Frenchie is bilingual. I speak to my dogs in a gentle matter as they have the tendency to listen to positive tones. If pets need medication, I make sure to follow instructions as their health comes first. I currently have a dog who is a senior and on medication. I always make sure my babies are well and can tell when something is wrong. I work on a hybrid schedule where I’m in the office 3 times a week and can choose what days to go. If I am in care of a pet, I will work around my schedule to make sure I am present for them when I am at home. I do not go out at night and will be home especially when taking care of someone. I have a fenced backyard. I have 2 outside dogs (a chihuahua and a pitbull) and 1 inside dog (a Frenchie) who all have been neutered and spayed. Your pet will stay indoors for most of the time and my Frenchie will be excited to have someone to play with. Plenty of dog toys will be available. My outside dogs are senior dogs and will mostly ignore your pet as they do with my Frenchie.
“We are so glad that we have Hannah as a cat sitter!! She’s the best, works around our crazy schedule and truly cares about our pet! She always leaves detailed reviews, lots of pics and is an EXCELLENT communicator. Book Hannah!! You won’t regret it!! Thanks, Hannah!!”
About: I’ve always had let’s since I was younger. I love to take care of pets and see how we can help them be active or maybe just sit at home. I currently don’t have a job and stay at home. So it’s a full time job for me. Looking to have someone care for daily or one time I follow instructions given by the owner and can contact in case of any rare situation. Normally roam around wherever and go on walk and hikes

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Lago
A huge shout out to Arianna for watching over my little doggo partner in crime, Echo! She great in communicating how Ericka was doing, and sent me pictures of him during her visits. I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thank you for all your hard work, Arianna!
Najwa was our first experience using the Rover app and we couldn’t be happier! She dropped in to look after our fur babies while we were traveling with so much love and care, going well above and beyond what was expected. She was quick and easy to communicate with and provided us with great photos and updates during each visit which helped assure me that they were in the best of hands. Definitely will be using Najwa again in the future!
Faith has tended to our beasties on two separate occasions (once during a long weekend that included some nasty weather and again over a long holiday weekend), and we will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a kind, reliable and wonderfully personable caregiver!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in El Lago choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
