“We booked with Sarah over 10 times now because she is awesome! We can tell she really cares about our pets and shows them lotsss of love! We have also given her complicated care/feeding instructions and she followed them perfectly. When we’ve had to suddenly change our booking she is always very understanding and does whatever she can to help. We recommend her highly and will continue to book her!”
“Sara was amazing with the boys. And so patient. My great Pyrenees can get pretty loud. She gave him his space and let him get used to her. She made multiple trips to meet them before the actual visits. This is my first trip leaving them. Sara sent pictures and kept me updated. Absolutely will use again.”
About: Hi! I'm Brizza, a 24-year-old Animal Science student at Sam Houston State University with 9 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I'm currently based in League City for the summer and look forward to caring for pets in the surrounding area. I've worked as both a veterinary assistant and technician. My experience allows me to recognize abnormal behavior early, administer oral medications and injections, monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort, and provide compassionate, attentive care. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, lots of playtime, or simply someone who understands their unique personality, I'm happy to help. I currently volunteer with a wildlife rehabilitator to continue expanding my knowledge while building experience for veterinary school. I'm comfortable caring dogs, cats, and other small mammals, including seniors and pets with medical needs. Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to keeping both you and your pet comfortable through regular updates, photos, and communication while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has special medical needs, I'd be honored to provide the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! As a full-time Animal Science student, I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week in the League City area. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority to give every pet plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I'll happily follow your pet's normal routine—including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and bedtime routines—to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With nearly a decade of veterinary experience, I'm trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior that may indicate illness, pain, or stress and can administer oral medications and injections when needed. I practice calm, low-stress handling and tailor my approach to each pet's personality, whether they're energetic, anxious, shy, or senior. I will treat your home with the same respect I would my own, carefully follow all care instructions, keep your pet's environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“For our first experience using Rover, Mia was absolutely spot on with how she handled drop-ins. From playing with our pets, feeding them and even cleaning up an accident. It’s easy to tell she is very comfortable with various types of sizes in dogs. We highly recommend her service!”
“Adrianna truly went above and beyond for Knox, especially on such short notice. I was in a stressful situation needing a last-minute sitter, and she stepped in with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. From the moment she met Knox, it was clear she was attentive, patient, and experienced. She kept me updated, made sure Knox felt safe and comfortable, and treated him like her own. I can’t express how grateful I am for her reliability and compassion. Adrianna is someone you can fully trust with your pet, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. I will absolutely be booking her again.”
About: I have loved and cared for a wide range of pets and personalities, understanding that each one has their own unique needs and routines. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by carefully following instructions and maintaining consistency in their routine. I also provide regular communication, updates, and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away, unless requested otherwise. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine. While I work full-time Monday through Friday from 9 to 5, I am able to stay overnight in clients home so pets can stay comfortable and in their familiar space and routine. Depending on the location, I can also stop by during lunch breaks for walks, potty breaks, feedings, medications, and extra attention. I prioritize making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am very attentive when it comes to following all instructions, routines, and rules provided by pet owners to ensure pets remain comfortable and stress-free while in my care. I understand every pet has different personalities, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to learn their mannerisms and routine so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe to them. Whether in my client’s home or during visits, my priority is always creating a calm, comfortable, and happy environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.
“Absolute miracle! I had come across Laura after another sitter had cancelled me, and it’s the best thing that could have happened! My cat recently lost her brother and was going to be by herself for 5 days. She is afraid of everyone. She absolutely loved Laura!! Do not hesitate to hire her! She’s amazing, and my cat Charlie agrees!”
“Angie was amazing with both my cats and dogs! Super easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and sent the cutest photos while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Sharla was amazing with my old girl and went above and beyond. Will definitely be reaching out for more services for vacations and for making our girl comfortable when we are gone. Thank you so much girlie.”
“We were a little nervous at first because it was our first time booking a dog sitter but Jenny and Craig were fantastic. They sent lots of pictures and let our dogs have plenty of time in the backyard. In fact, I think our pups were disappointed when we came home. We highly recommend Jenny and Craig.”
“Callum is the best. We have high maintenance dogs, one of whom is old and has some special requirements. Callum took his time getting to know them and allowed them to get comfortable with him. I typically worry about my dogs when I have to leave them but with Callum I was anxiety free. Would recommend him to anyone looking for someone professional, caring and communicative to care for their beloved pets. Would give 10 stars if I could.”

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!
We needed a last minute dog sitter for our three elderly dogs, and thank goodness we found Ella! She came over before the visit to meet us and the dogs who loved her immediately. She gave them their medicine and tons of love. She also took the cutest pictures. We will definitely be using her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a El Lago stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
