“Thanks for taking such good care of Lucy. She was happy and healthy when my husband got home. Appreciate you!!!! Reliable and gets along with a spoiled Dashound. Not an easy task!”
“All I can say is omg! Karina was so attentive, loving, and very sweet to our sweet girl. Our fur baby is basically our child and any anxiety I had immediately went away. Karina wasn’t late one time, she made sure to send pictures, and she followed instructions and even pointed out things to ensure we aware. I will recommend her to anyone that’s looking for in home care or even overnight care. I can guarantee your fur baby will be in great hands! Karina, again we truly thank you and look forward to utilizing you again for our Honey Bun!💕”
“The pups LOVE Kendall. She is great with making sure they get lots of activity and love during her drop-ins, and they go crazy when they hear her come to the door. Kendall is always super responsive, even when I need a booking last minute and we are so glad she takes care of our buds!!”
“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!”
“Iahnna was great!! Kept me up to date all weekend. Sent a bunch of videos and pics keeping me tuned in. Punctual with all visits and didn’t miss a check in. She’s super easy to communicate with and looks like she got along with my dog comfortably.”
“We had less than 1 week before our trip and stumbled upon Stacie's profile. We scheduled a meet and greet two days after messaging and requested 3 drop in visits for one week. Stacie was attentive and sent photos of each visit via the Rover app. She was kind and took in our trash container while leaving lights on to make the appearance that someone occupied the home. The pups appear to cozy up to her quickly and enjoyed her vsisits. Stacie even came by after the week to drop off our key. First time client but we'll be sure to use Stacie's services in the future. Definitely recommend her to anyone with multiple pups.”

I’ll always be around to keep them company or still can offer a room for them if they’re nervous or anxious that’s not a problem & totally understandable. Anything animal related i’m there to take care of. I’ll feed them, clean their bowls , outside activities , & baths if needed. Great communication & understanding skills.
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I have a 15-year-old toy poodle of my own (lives with my parents now) , and I’ve also cared for my family’s dogs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently looking for a part-time opportunity and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available any day at the moment and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow any routines, instructions, or special requests you provide. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and currently do not have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I’m also happy to pet sit in your home if that is more comfortable for you and your pet. I will follow your instructions, routines, and house rules, while making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day.
About: I have had 3 pups in my life, and had a roommate with 2 cats over the last year. I take care of my friends’ pets regularly, and am used to specialized routines for pets with unique needs. I am a healthcare professional who values safety, timeliness, and ultimately kindness. I work full-time during the week, but am available for extended morning and evening visits, and drop-ins throughout the day. My schedule is much more open on the weekend! Happy to work with you to find the best schedule for your pet. I have taken care of pets in fenced and non-enclosed areas, and I have had dogs that are both crate trained and not. Whatever will be best for your pup is what will be best for me!
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our pups! She sent lots of photos and videos and even cleaned up after them in the back yard! Wonderful choice for a sitter!”
About: I’m a 21‑year‑old college student with experience caring for dogs, cats, and puppies, offering reliable routines, patient support, and attentive, loving care for every pet. As a full‑time college student who only serves one night a week, I have early mornings and night flexibility to give your pets consistent, attentive care. I’ve grown up with many cats and cared for dogs of all ages, including pets with medical needs. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty breaks, meds if required, and plenty of attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining the environment and habits they’re used to.
About: Hello! I absolutely love animals and it would be a privilege to help take care of yours. I started walking dogs when I was in junior high to raise money for charities. I would pet sit for friends in college who had dogs, new kittens, and elderly pets as well. I have a wide range of pet caring experience, can adapt to whatever your pet needs, and I am home often as a 4th year med student. I am home often as a 4th year medical student. Sometimes my schedule can still be chaotic so I communicate frequently and appreciate your patience! I have a spacious apartment, outdoor space, a couple of balconies, and pet-safe furniture that all makes for a great pet-sitting environment. I am also flexible in ensuring a pet has the best environment possible!
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.
About: I have always had animals growing up. Raising cats to be 17 years old, and currently raising my 9 month old boxer which is very fun and rewarding. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to check in on your fur babies or let them stay with me and give them all of the attention If you board with me I have a big crate that my dog does not use but I’m more than willing to let your animals roam free. I do live in an apartment but I take MANY trips outside to the walking track and dog park. I spent most of my time outside making sure my own puppy gets plenty of her energy out.
About: I grew up in a house that always had at least 3 cats. Currently we have 5 cats, so a bit of a crazy house, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Growing up with many cats has taught me about the uniqueness of each cat’s personality, and that each cat requires care and attention in different ways. I’m a post-grad pre-med student, so currently I’m studying for the MCAT and volunteering. I have a lot of free time throughout the day that I would be able to care for your pets. In my home, I clean the litter-boxes everyday along with the food bowls. I like sweeping the areas so no litter or food crumbs remains around the floors. I also clean my counters multiples times a day since the cats like to chill on them. Any accidents, like throw-up, are cleaned immediately.
“Maricarmen did an amazing job on coming over and hanging out with my fur babies. The last few times I requested her she was able to come at last minute notice to hang out with the boys. 🐶🐶 She is always quick to respond and I will definitely be using her again. 🙏🏻”

Kayla was amazing to work with. She dropped in daily to take care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She fed, cleaned litter box, and played with them for a bit and provided us with updates and great pics/videos. Will definitely be booking her again in the future and highly recommend her to everyone!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in El Lago is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 3,657 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
