“When I had to leave a special needs dog to take a quick business trip, Ashley’s skills and background really stood out. I was able to get away while knowing that my dog was safe and loved. The entire family went above and beyond to make sure that he felt that way too!”
“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!”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”
About: My partner, Michelle, and I have had dogs since we were in high school and there is no better joy than going for a walk or spending time with our dogs. I currently only work about two hours every day performing Military Funeral Honors. Times vary but typically the job begins around 11am and lasts 30 minutes after which I drive home. Our family includes three small pugs and two grade school children. Crating pets or having potty trained pets sleep in our room is an option.
“Raeann was by far the best Rover we ever had. She took the time to meet our dog beforehand and was wonderful. She gave us updates with pictures very often and made us feel like we left our dog with an old friend. I'd recommend Raeann to any pet owner who wants a worry-free experience! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Victoria is always amazing with my babies! She sends us videos of them everyday and keeps us updated about their routine. We are really thankful for being able to leave them and not worry about it during our vacations! 😊 Koda and Kaya are regulars already.”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Skylar and Brandon were wonderful caretakers of my pup for 8 days. They were understanding of my concern for my French bulldog and the heat and were very responsive to any questions I had. They sent daily updates and pictures and I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets and animals with unique care needs. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, basic grooming, and reinforcing training routines. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort and happiness while providing photo messages, videos and updates so you can have peace of mind. Every pet receives personalized care based on their personality and routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime and plenty of companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meditations (if needed) and any special requests.
“Our 2 year old black lab Morgan has lots of energy, Rebecca and Tank wore her out! The dogs played all weekend and Morgan had a great time! Easy to drop off and pick up at Rebecca's place. Morgan made new friends...”
About: As a dog owner myself for the past 20 years, I am looking forward to giving your dog a fun and safe place to stay! I’m available both weekends and weekdays as I work from home Monday- Friday. Your dog will have fun and be cared for as one of our own! I have a large fenced in yard and a 3 year old labrador retriever to keep your dog company. We take walks several times a day and your dog is welcome to join us. I can crate your dog per your preference. Meet and greet with my dog is required.
“Tia and her family are so sweet with my pup, and were so accommodating when it was unclear if my flight would return on time / whether my heat would be working upon my return. Tia is our go-to Rover sitter because of how communicative and kind she is!”
About: I have owned and trained dogs for 30 years. I volunteered as a trainer and handler for wilderness search and rescue dogs. I also was a volunteer as a foster dog mom for the Humane Society. I understand how hard it is to leave your pup while you're at work. I would love to help you out with visits and walks while you're away. I just retired and joined Rover as a dog walker after using the service for years. I am available to walk your dog and stop for visits any time. Boarding for dog walking/drop in clients only. I have a pup of my own due to a foster failure, I just couldn't give him up. I have trained.and handled lot of different types of dogs as a volunteer for HARP and Canine Companions. I will always treat your pet as if it were one of my own. They will get a long leisurely walk with lots of time to sniff and explore. I'll make sure they are settled in when we return home and have fresh water. Your instructions will be followed and I'll always leave you a note and keep in touch as directed.
“Mikaela was great with Cashew and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of during our four-day trip. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when we had some unexpected travel delays, which was so nice of her! Will absolutely book again. <3”
“Elaine did an amazing job with our barky dog! She have such great care to him eventhough he was a bad boy and peed on her purse. She was kind and flexible to meet our needs of booking an extra week. Great sitter!!!”

Pet 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!

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 877 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Houston. About 90% of Houston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
