“Leslie took wonderful care of my Roxie for over a week. It was obvious Roxie was very well looked-after - lots of walks, cuddles, and attention. Leslie was very communicative, followed our instructions for Roxie to a T, and even expertly handled a minor medical issue Roxie had during her stay. I really appreciated the pictures and video, and Roxie seemed like she had been very happy there when I picked her up :). Highly recommend Leslie, and will be contacting her for future visits for sure!”
“Leigh did a wonderful job caring for our highly energetic puppy. She maintained excellent communication throughout and kept us updated with videos and photos. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We are repeat customers of Randy. He always takes excellent care of our mini sheepadoodle, Buddy. He sends daily pics, and he’s always responsive. And best of all, Buddy always seems happy to return and catch up with Randy and his crew.”
“Ximena gave me a positive outlook on the booking. This was the first time using a service like this but she made effort to communicate and showed a genuine care for Milo. That put us at ease to know he was in good hands with someone who treated him like her own. Highly recommend her if you want your dog to be loved properly.”
About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“Shu was amazing with our cat, she took such good care and he really enjoyed the time spent with her. She went way above and beyond, keeping us informed and even checking if he had fleas and applying the treatment. Thank you so much and for sure will come back next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Brittany did an AMAZING job taking care of Hope. She sent us tons of pics and videos and even set up time for Hope to interact with her dog, Kash. Her home is super dog friendly, Really great experience for us and Hope ;)”
“Amy & Chelsea are the best ❤️ our little girl stayed with them for 3 weeks! They sent multiple videos and pictures daily, that piece of mind was priceless. Our dog was very happy upon our return and quickly adjusted to being home with us again, which speaks volumes about how well she was cared for, thank you so much ❤️”
“Jocelyn took my pup in like she was a part of her family! This was my first time using Rover and my first extended trip away from my dog so you can imagine that I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone I do not know. Jocelyn made it easy! Drop off was seamless and she sent so many photos and videos it was like I was there! I could not have chosen a better sitter for my dog and I (and my dog) look forward to booking with Jocelyn again.”
“Madeline was wonderful with my two pups, which is no small feat! One of my dogs can be a bit difficult and needy, and she was patient and accommodating with him. She communicated really well the whole time and was really great to work with!”
“Lesly was truly a fantastic Rover for our active dog! Not only did she treat him like a king she was flexible and allowing us to extend our stay! Communicative and made sure he stayed busy with walks and trips to the dog park! Highly recommend.”
“Angelique was amazing. She took such great care of my sweet boy and provided me frequent updates everyday about him and how he was doing. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to others I know.”
“Erica was wonderful! She sent pictures and updates which immediately made us feel at ease. He was comfortable as soon as he got to her door and made it a home away from home 😊 We'll definitely have her keep Cooper again!”
“I can’t put into words how extremely thankful I am that I chose Idalia as my dog sitter! I had an unfortunate incident happen while I was out of the country and she went above and beyond for my dog. She calmed my nerves reassuring me that she would do whatever she could to make my dog feel more comfortable. Idalia is an angel and I would choose her and only her to watch my fur baby from here on out. You can tell she truly loves animals and will treat your fur baby like her own.”
“Aseela was great with my dog. She played with her, gave her lots of cuddles and let my dog snuggle up with her. She sent lots of pictures each day. It looked like my dog had a great time. I would use Aseela again.”
“Marcela and Michelle took amazing care of my puppy while we were out of town. They constantly sent photos and videos of him and kept us updated throughout the day. I 100% will be using them again to watch him again!”

Hannah was amazing with Henri! She took such good care of him and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Henri looked so happy and comfortable the whole time, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’d definitely have Hannah watch Henri again! ❤️
Erica is the best! During our two week trip, she constantly sent pictures and updated us with how my our dog was doing. I know my dog had an absolute blast with Erica and her dogs! Our return flight got cancelled to an additional day and Erica was super accommodating in taking care of Bumi another night. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter
Lauren was amazing watching my baby during my long vacation. She was so attentive to his needs and constantly kept me in the loop with him multiple times a day. My dog can be a bit excited and is full of energy so I’m always hesitant about boarding him but Lauren made me feel at ease and they bonded so well. Her massive backyard is the perfect place for him to run around and get his wiggles out and play with the other pups in her care. Her room where his kennel was kept was so organized, clean, and exactly what he needed- as was her entire home for him to roam freely. He loved it there upon our meet and greet before I booked so I knew it was the best fit. I will definitely be bringing him back to her and highly recommend her to anyone out there!
Maria took excellent care of my 50lb foster dog, Dozer. I had trouble finding someone who I felt confident leaving Dozer with for almost a week because he is an active young dog in need of some training. Maria and her family were welcoming and up for the challenge. They took him for daily walks and gave him plenty of exercise and love. Maria was very conscientious about continuing his training and following the feeding instructions. I mistakenly did not give her enough food and she took the initiative to ask what type of food he eats and went out and bought more. She allowed him to be throughout the house and on the furniture and gave him chew toys which he love. Her communication was outstanding. She sent me several pictures and text updates every day. I highly recommend Maria for pet sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Houston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,371 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Houston sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Houston landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Houston home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Houston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Houston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
