About: im not just a sitter, im a pet parent too! i know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. having pets of my own, i understand how different every pet’s personality, needs, and quirks can be, and i love getting to know each one. i treat every pet like i do my own: with patience, consistency, and plenty of cuddles :) im a college student, but when im not in class, im home taking care of my pets. they’re part of my daily life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. in my home, i provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i respect their space and maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and plenty of affection. i always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well-attended while their owners are away

About: I grew up with German Shepards and a tabby cat. I currently have a senior Pomeranian! I’ve worked dogs and cats of all kinds by house-sitting and stopping by to do check ins for friends and family for over 5 years! Currently a full-time online masters student! I don’t typically have Mondays and Saturdays off. I am great for cuddling with animals and checking on them throughout the day. I’m happy to do whatever you feel best suits your dogs needs! I personally have done crating, backyards, roaming around the house. I also respect all house rules.
About: No special skills, just a guy who loves animals and will help you take care of yours while you're away or need a break. Ive always had a pet in the house for the most part and have always watched friends and family pets often. Figured I may as well see if anyone wants a trustworthy pet sitter! I'm a stay at home husband who takes care of 3 cats currently and taking care of more pets would be no trouble. So pet care is just part of my everyday amyway I have a large fenced in yard, as well as a 3000sq ft home with plenty of rooms and space if your pet wants open areas, plenty of space if they need space. All dogs get atleast 1 walk a day(2 if it isnt 90+degrees). I feed my own pets twice a day 12hours a part. However am I will to feed your pets on any schedule they normally would have at home
“Tracy is amazing!! She goes above and beyond on her visits. She’s so sweet and loving to the animals and sent me updates while I was at work on how the visit was going. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure everything was perfect for us, her, and the animals! I recommend to everyone and anyone!”


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 live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood right in front of a waterside park, which means plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and sunshine for your pup. My own sweet older dog, Chop, is very social and well-mannered, so visiting dogs always have a friendly companion by their side. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day with frequent walks, playtime, and snuggles. I truly love animals and care for each one as if they were my own Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I start and end the day with walks by the waterside park right outside my door, and I build in plenty of breaks for outdoor time throughout the day since I work from home. My dog Chop is older and very social, so he loves having other dogs join us for fresh air, sunshine, and play. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles, I make sure pets feel cared for and included in my routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll have access to plenty of outside time at the waterside park right across the street, daily walks, and a safe, comfortable space to relax inside. My dog Chop is very social and gentle, so visiting dogs always have a built-in buddy. Because I work from home, I can give pets consistent attention, whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or regular potty breaks. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, from feeding schedules and walks to any special instructions for training, medication, or comfort. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and relaxed in the environment where they feel most secure.

About: I've taken care of animals for many different households the past couple of years throughout high-school and now in college. They trust me to watch over their animals with care.

Most importantly I make sure they are safe, comfortable, I pay attention to details, love on them, and make sure they are fed of course.

“Absolutely amazing. She did everything I asked, and then some. All of my crazy crew of my little dachshunds absolutely loved her. Definitely will be rehiring her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was 15. In my circle, I am the trusted pet caretaker! When caring for pets I have administered medication’s in all forms, i.e. a liquid via mouth, a tablet via mouth or in food. One of my favorite things when caring for animals is getting to watch them be unique and goofy in their own way! I am no stranger to taking them on walks, taking them to parks, picking up after in the yard, cleaning litter boxes, taking care of puppies/kittens or senior pets! I’ve done it all! My dad will tell you I should’ve been a veterinarian. *IMPORTANT NOTE* When I am housesitting, I never bring my own animals. I am currently in between careers and I am doing odd jobs in the meantime. I am able to self schedule everything I am doing as of late. However, your pet needs to be cared for I am more than willing to accommodate! I am a firm believer that the most comfortable place for an animal is a place. They already know. Taking care of an animal in its own home for an extended period of time reduces the stress for that pet. They get to keep up with their normal routine and don’t have to worry about fighting for attention from other pets. allowing them to stay in their own home means they have my full undivided attention!
About: I have been house sitting for about the last 15 years. All types of pets , all breeds, all sizes. I have 1 dogs of my own. Have watched 1 dog to families that have 6. I can handle shy dogs , hyper dogs, old dogs , big dogs . I can handle all pets . I prefer to stay at your home . This makes it more comfortable for all animals . I have about 5 families I watch for regularly . These animals all have needs , all have different personalities, feeding schedules and some even have medicine . I love to do this and hope to be able to do this for he next few years . Thank you !! A I currently work full time, but have a very lenient schedule that allows me to come and go all day a night. I'm also a home body and stay home and in doors on the weekends. This makes for an easier watching experience. The care at home all depends on the family and their animals needs. I like to follow their schedules as much as I can compared to how their owners do. I keep their potty breaks and meals around the same times and keep them active throughout my visits so they don't miss their humans to much :)
“Jazlynn was absolutely amazing. I opted for the drop-in visits. She stopped by the house twice a day and took care of my 160 Cane Corso. She was punctual and communication was exceptional. Well done ma’am.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Lago
Tammy is so great! She went above and beyond for us during our vacation. I only needed her for a couple of visits, but she did not hesitate to take care of us. Our little dog has a very big attitude, but Tammy was not phased by it at all! She really put my mind at ease and communicated through the whole process, even came over to do a meet and greet prior to our trip. She is knowledgeable and genuinely cares for all animals!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in El Lago is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,565 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across El Lago. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in El Lago with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
