About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve trained puppies and adult dogs in basic obedience as well as potty training, and I’ve done end of life care for senior dogs. Currently working part time with a schedule that changes weekly, I typically work 2-4 days a week. Always have time during the week to play with some pups! I personally have a chihuahua, who is crate trained! We typically go outside every 1-2 hours on days we don’t work, she’s very friendly but shy. We live in an apartment on the second floor.
About: I’ve lived in a multi-pet household for 15 years and have over 10 years of experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I currently work part-time and, as a pet lover, have ample time for pet sitting. My schedule is flexible, and I also have plenty of time on weekends and during upcoming holidays. Health and safety are of utmost importance to me when it comes to pets. I strive to make their experiences as fun and safe as possible.
“Jacell did exactly what was asked of her and texted me to let me know she would be a little late one day. I will be using her again. She’s awesome!! My lil boi was so happy with her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Talia & Andrew are awesome! They made sure my kitties were well taken care of over the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I couldn’t be happier with their services, communications, and SO many pictures. Highly recommend :)”
About: I've cared for animals my entire life and currently have two cats, a snake, and a frog of my own. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes overnight pet sitting, long walks, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. I've provided care for dogs with diabetes and seizure disorders, including administering medication and remaining calm and attentive during medical episodes. I'm comfortable cleaning up accidents, following detailed care instructions, and monitoring pets closely for changes in behavior or health. I've cared for dogs in a variety of environments, including homes, parks, public spaces, boats, and around other people and animals. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quiet routine at home, I strive to provide safe, reliable, and loving care that keeps them comfortable and happy while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they receive the same level of attention and care they're used to at home. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. Because I am not tied to a traditional office schedule, I can accommodate potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. My flexible work routine makes it easy for me to adapt to your pet's specific needs, whether that means extra exercise, midday check-ins, maintaining a consistent routine, or simply providing company for pets who don't enjoy being alone. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and attention, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter day at home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide the level of care and attention they deserve. As a Director of Operations, organization, communication, and reliability are a major part of my professional life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain in the environment they know and are most comfortable in. I believe maintaining a pet's normal routine is one of the best ways to reduce stress and help them feel secure while their owners are away. Before each booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, habits, preferences, and any special instructions. Whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medication, playtime, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, or simply relaxing on the couch, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all owner instructions, ensure pets are securely contained when needed, monitor their behavior and well-being, and communicate promptly if any concerns arise. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I treat both with the same level of respect, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

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.

About: I am very flexible with an animal’s behavior, I can give a lot of energy when needed but can also be calm when the animal wants that I volunteer at an animal shelter down in south Houston and have plenty of time to pet sit and take care of others pets when they can’t. I will make sure your pets have food and water and get their energy out. Make sure they’re entertained and have their space if needed.
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 are so thankful for Tatiana being available and taking care of Selene. She came by to meet her before the scheduled date and made our first experience go so smoothly. We had great communication, loved the daily pictures and I just knew Selene was in good hands. If we were staying in houston longer we’d book with her again in a heartbeat!”

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 November 2026, there are 3,656 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Lago. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
