“Our dog had a great day with Susan and the other dogs she was taking care of when ours was there. Lots of pictures of playtime/naptime. Very convenient location near the NASA Center. Thank you.”


“Teri has been great for my dog. I moved to the Houston area for work and my dog needed someplace to go during the day that wasn't a hotel. After one visit, he was hooked. He gets just as excited to go to her place as he is to go to the park. Beyond taking great care of him, Teri has helped me find resources for him like vets and groomers. She genuinely loves all the dogs she watches and provides excellent care.”

“Timothy helped us today when we were in a bind at 4:30am to find a sitter for our dog Bullet. And it worked out for us. Thank You Timothy and by the pictures it looked like Bullet enjoyed it. Timothy had great communication with us. Thank You”

“Hunter was an absolute lifesaver! She was available last minute to watch my puppy and did an amazing job. She kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy with her—she was so excited to see her again the next day! Highly recommend!”

“Traci, Jason and family were wonderful put sitters. Lily loves a yard, stimulation, and kindness. She enjoyed all three while staying in their home. I would highly recommend this sitter to other Rover patrons. Heather Wooten”
“I have found Harveys people!! Angela and her husband are the best!!!! I can now go meet with clients and occasionally do an over night trip knowing my rotten little dog will not be alone!! I am so very happy to have found them!! Thank you Angela!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve raised and trained puppies, cared for senior dogs with love and patience, and everything in between. I’m experienced in leash training, treat training, managing different energy levels and ensuring dogs feel safe, loved and engaged—whether it’s during a walk, playtime or while they’re relaxing at home. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of a dog’s emotional needs. I truly believe that dogs are healing animals and I approach each one with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m attentive to body language, responsive to their individual personalities and adaptable to their unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs an adventure or a senior dog that requires a slower pace and extra care, I’m here to provide the perfect balance of fun, comfort and love. It’s an honor for me to care for dogs and give them the affection and attention they deserve while their families are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule during the weekdays, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. As a dog mom and a mom to three kids, I’m used to balancing care and attention for everyone in my home. I’m available for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, but evenings and weekends are typically dedicated to my family, making my availability a bit less flexible during those times. That said, I’m happy to plan ahead and do my best to accommodate any special requests! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety, trust and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine and preferences to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive to their body language and signals, always making sure they feel safe and loved. In a client’s home, I maintain their established routine as closely as possible—whether that means following feeding schedules, administering medication or keeping up with favorite walks and playtime. I’m respectful of the space and treat each home as if it were my own. When pets are in my care, they not only receive my full attention, but they also have a very loving and social dog to play with, providing them with companionship and fun. Plus, they’ll be surrounded by my warm and caring family, who will shower them with love, attention and plenty of tummy rubs. I create a calm, loving environment where dogs can relax, feel safe and truly be part of the family while their owners are away.
About: Hey there! My name is Kendall, and I’ve been told my whole life that animals seem to have a special affection for me—and that feeling is absolutely mutual :) I’ve been caring for and loving animals for as long as I’ve been alive 😊! I’m the go-to pet sitter for my entire family, extended family, friends, and neighbors, and it’s something I truly love doing! I care for cats and dogs of every size and personality. I know they’re all different and some might have certain quirks and need a little special care… having a husky makes me very familiar with this! 🤣 People entrust me with their babies (human and fur), and I make sure to care for them with the same love I give to my little snow bear (my Siberian Husky haha). I have experience with a wide range of breeds, including Huskies, Border Collies, Dachshunds, Boxers, Aussies, Spaniels, Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Golden Retrievers, Frenchies… you name it! I’ve cared for pets of all ages—from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats—and I’m comfortable accommodating different needs, routines, and medications. I understand that every pet is unique. Some need extra encouragement to eat, special meal routines, or just a little extra patience and attention. I’m very used to working with those individual quirks (I even have a Husky who insists on a “taste tester” bowl before eating—true Husky fashion haha). Above all, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you want the peace of mind of knowing that someone is truly treating your pet like their own and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while you’re gone, then look no further! I’m currently working part-time, and I already pet sit for a few friends, family, and neighbors, but I have a pretty flexible schedule to accommodate more clients! The way I care for each pet is different based on each client’s needs. I just try to do exactly what the owner normally would do for their pet, plus I make sure to give everyone lots of attention and play time. I also can take your pups on walks if they like that. I have a Husky, so multiple, long, daily walks are just a way of life for us! I’m also great with dogs who are nervous around new people or just always have anxiety. I promise I’ll become one of their new favorite friends! As far as pet sitting at my home… I have a clean, smoke-free home, and my apartment complex has two enclosed dog areas for them to be able to freely run around in outside. There’s also a huge loop, which is where I take my sweet boy on his walks.
About: With a background spanning three decades in pet care, I pursued a degree in Animal Science, specializing in animal handling and husbandry at University. I ventured into professional pet care four years ago, offering services both at my residence and at my clients' homes. I provide drop-in visits, overnight stays, dog walking, boarding and extended care for pets. Proficient in administering medications, including insulin injections, and equipped with basic first-aid skills, I ensure the well-being of animals under my care. My family comprises of my husband, three teens, and one elementary kid, along with our two crate-trained, pet-friendly small dogs and one indoor cat with a cat condo. A dedicated pet-sitting room is available for our furry guests, along with dog-walking services and visits to the local dog park if so desired. We treat every pet as if they were our own, offering grooming, bathing, and nail trimming services for both cats and dogs. Rest assured, your beloved pet will be pampered and cared for as part of our extended family for those wishing to have me care for your loved one in my home. If you prefer the convenience of having me drop in to care for your pets in the comfort of your own home, rest assured I are more than happy to accommodate households with multiple pets or one single pet. This option is ideal for those seeking to maintain their pets' routine and sense of security without the stress of traveling or disrupting their familiar surroundings. I am flexible and can tailor care to follow any specific routines you have established for your pets, ensuring their normal feeding schedules and potty breaks are maintained. Whether you have dogs, cats, or a mix of both, or reptiles, I am dedicated to providing the care and attention your furry companions need while you're away. My passion for animals has been a lifelong love affair, transcending species boundaries. 15 years ago, my focus shifted as I embraced motherhood as a stay-at-home mom to four children, managing the delicate balance between school and home life. Despite the demands of family responsibilities, I have successfully integrated professional pet sitting and grooming into my routine since 2019. With the unwavering support of my family, I will work to ensure that every pet under my care receives the quality attention and care they deserve. To maintain the high standards I uphold, I deliberately limit bookings, ensuring that I never compromise on the level of care provided. This deliberate approach guarantees that I can fulfill commitments without overextending myself, safeguarding the well-being of both our family and your beloved pets. Your trust in my services is paramount, and I am dedicated to prioritizing the needs of my furry clients and alongside my own. The approach to caring for your pets will vary depending on the service you opt for. When visiting your home, I will diligently adhere to any instructions provided regarding your pets' care routine. I will ask you to show me where you keep their food, how much is given and when, and the location the bowl(s) will be placed to eat and whether multiple pets must be separated during meals. I am committed to maintaining a clean environment, providing fresh water daily, promptly addressing any accidents, and ensuring the home remains tidy during your absence. Furthermore, I will seek your input on acceptable toys, furniture boundaries, and room access for your pets. By incorporating your preferences, I aim to create a comfortable and familiar environment for your furry companions. Your provision of toys and treats will aid in building a bond through play and rewards. Additionally, I will inquire about walking permissions for your dog, requesting that a leash, collar, and doggy bags are available. For pet care in our home, I limit stays to one pet family at a time (two pets max) to provide exclusive accommodations in our spare room. Initially, your pet(s) will have a get-to-know-you period to acclimate to our household members and surroundings. As comfort levels increase, they will have access to our home and backyard respectively, gradually integrating with our pets at a pace that ensures mutual security and well-being. I prioritize a smooth and gradual introduction process to prevent any unexpected incidents. During walks in my neighborhood, I will utilize your provided leash and collar or harness for your dog's safety. Your pet's food routine will be respected and followed with the food you provide, using the stainless-steel bowls we provide, unless you prefer to bring your own bowls. For puppies or dogs in need of containment, I offer a spacious crate with bedding and toys, tailored to their comfort and security. Information on crate training will be gathered to ensure your pet's well-being and reduce stress. Additionally, I am open to including your pet in pet-friendly errands for an enjoyable outing. My goal is to create a welcoming and happy environment for your furry family member, prioritizing their comfort and well-being above all else.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding! Angelo is incredibly trustworthy, caring, and professional. He gave us complete peace of mind for our very first time boarding our dogs, giving us updates with photos and videos. The flexibility is unmatched — always work with my schedule and are more than accommodating when plans change especially for any last minute delays. Communication is excellent, and it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does. My dog and puppy were so excited, happy and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

About: I am here to take your pup from playtime to public access ready! We will walk and train simultaneously, extending endurance, geography, vocabulary, walking form, attitude, and responsiveness. We reinforce basic obedience, manners, commands, and tricks in a supportive, pawsitive environment using the same methods used to train professional working dogs. I am full-time hands on, so your pooch can join us as we trick, treat, and train! Public access practice, dog parks, nature trails, and home-based training all are daily practices. I have a large apartment that is easily subdivided to separate pets for chill time. We have play space, can crate, and can create a separate dog room. Pets are never given human food, but have consistent fresh water. Great sensitivity is given to temperature and texture of the ground to protect your pups paws. Each dog has their own energy level and exercise requirements, and we will tailor your dog's walks to their personal fitness.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your El Lago commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,306 sitters in El Lago, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
