“This was the first time I took Josie to stay with Lisa. She had so much fun and loved staying with Lisa. I knew Josie was comfortable when Lisa said she followed her everywhere.”
“Our family Is so grateful to Joni for taking care of Liberty over thanksgiving holiday long weekend. Our lab can be a handful for someone not used to her antics of stealing food right from under you. I know Liberty was up to her usual tricks but Joni seemed to take it all in stride and even sent us texts & pics with updates which made us feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Joni is warm, friendly, kind, trustworthy and easy going -all the qualities you’d want in a dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again. 5 stars!”
“Raeann was an absolute joy!! After our sitter cancelled last minute we found she had an opening and it was absolutely perfect for our pup. She was a lifesaver for a holiday weekend. He became a part of the family right away and Raeann truly loved him for the weekend the way we love him all the time. You cannot go wrong with Raeann as your sitter, highly recommend!!!”
“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Monica and her family while Scotch stayed with them for 10 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that Scotch was in caring and capable hands. Monica kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Scotch came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for—always the best sign of a great boarding experience. It’s evident that Monica treats every pet like part of her own family. We truly appreciate the warmth, attention, and love she provided. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring home boarding option, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. I am sure Scotch misses you Monica 😊❤️”
“Maria was great! She did everything she could to make our fur baby feel comfortable and happy during his stay. He requires medication three times a day and a little extra TLC. She made sure he had everything he needed along with his security blanket! We received lots of photos and updates throughout the day letting us know how he was doing. I would highly recommend Maria.”
“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“Adrienne is so great with our one and half year old mini poodle. We board our puppy for three weeks with Adrienne. She sent me photos and videos and reassure me everything went well with my puppy. I was so anxious leaving my puppy for so long the very first time, but Adrienne is so professional and caring for my puppy. When my puppy came back, his temperament didn’t change. He came back to his regular routine right away. I take that as a very good sign. My puppy must have been taken very good care of. We will for sure be a regular with Adrienne from now on.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! If I could give her a higher rating, I would. Her and her family treated my dog as if he was their own. She has a beautiful, fenced in back yard that allowed my dog to be outdoors without any worries! I know she was very attentive to him at all times, kept us updated everyday and sent several pictures which made my kids very happy! My pup does not like kennels and this was an alternative and it turned out to be the greatest experience for my dog and our family! Would definitely love for her to care for my dog anytime!! Thank you Elizabeth and your family!!”
“Adam was awesome. Not only was he great with my girl but he was very kind in dealing with me, this being the first time I’ve left my girl anywhere before. He reassured me she was good and responded patiently when I asked for constant updates. I actually think she misses him upon returning home with me!!”
“What an amazing family this is! I could not say enough wonderful things about them! They took such amazing care of my Frankie (very needy frenchie)! I was nervous as we have never left our dog before. They gave us updates multiple times a day and really set my mind at ease leaving him. I would highly recommend for any pet care needs! I will definitely be booking with them again! I wish I could leave 100 stars!”
“Gracie was well cared for by Carol. She is very experienced with dogs. Great fenced in backyard which was safe for a puppy to run around. I have a 6 month old puppy who is a ball of energy. I think she exhausted everyone 😊”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Our dog seemed to love the farm life! They went for 3 mile hikes up the hill every day. Christina’s barn stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, so it felt very cool for our dog in the hot days. Based on her previous experiences, she does not mix dogs when their owners are not around, but our dog spent plenty of time around her family. She sent videos of our dog playing with people and kids as well. The kids loved him!”
“Michael was amazing. This was our first time in 8 years leaving our pups to go on vacation so as you can imagine the anxiety level was so high. We meet him first prior to leaving them for a week and he was so patient, understanding and kind and really knew what he was doing. We were put at ease within minutes. We got videos and pictures throughout the week and he was very quick at responding if I needed any type of "they are doing fine" message. By the end of the week the pups had met new friends and didn't want to leave! (My heart broke for a minute lol ) We will be a forever repeat customer. Thank you so much Michael! It's always reassuring when you can tell that someone really loves what they do.”
“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Jaclyn and Ashleigh were positively perfect for what we needed. Our first time using the two of them was also first time we had decided to leave our two pups since we adopted our youngest in September and it could not have gone better. They were very responsive and communicative from the setup of the first introduction clear through to pick-up. They not only seemed to tolerate but actually kind of enjoy some of the decidedly quirkiness or silliness of our pair. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Houston on Rover is $49.95 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 859 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.
89% 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 PA 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.
