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.
“Leslie took excellent care of our baby, Coach during our trip to Hawaii She kept us updated with Coach’s mood, eating and walks, sharing daily pictures and videos. Coach gets easily stressed and anxious but Leslie was very patient and understanding. She was incredibly responsible and genuinely committed to gain Coach’s trust. We felt calm and happy knowing that Coach was having a great time while being well cared for. I highly recommend Leslie, your pup will definitely get the best love and care from her!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Roux with Alexis. Communication was always prompt. Plenty of pictures and updates were provided. I would 100% let Roux stay with Alexis again.”
“Randy was great! Answered messages promptly and flexible when requested. He took some awesome pics of my pup and it looked like he had a great time! Will book with him again!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for friends' and neighbors' pets, I treat every dog like family and provide the love and attention they deserve. I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I have two Boston Terriers of my own whom I walk and care for daily. They are both extremely friendly, love meeting other dogs, and are always happy to make new furry friends! While I don't have a fenced yard, I live right next to a dog park and take my own pups there for walks and playtime every day. Your dog will have full access to our home and is welcome on the furniture. My goal is to make sure they feel as comfortable and loved as they do at home. We provide plenty of attention, affection, and cuddles to ensure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and part of the family.
“Jocelyn was amazing with Kenzo like always! This time he was with her for almost a week while I was in Paris and she constantly kept me updated which I love! She’s watched him multiple times and he always comes back super happy! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much Laura for taking fantastic care of Benny while we were away! We were super nervous to find a Rover in Houston since we are new to the area but we loved having Laura watch Benny. She did a great job of keeping us updated on what he was doing and we could tell he really enjoyed playing with her two dogs. Thank you again!!”
“Tressa was great with our dog. We met prior to booking to ensure this was a good fit. She sent photos and texts to update on how our dog was doing. This was a long stay so this needed to work during our time away. I felt very at ease leaving our dog with her and will definitely use Tressa again.”
“Kimberly was amazing, our little guy was dealing with so much stress due to a huge move, and Kimberly was more than willing to take him last minute and was so kind to him.”
“I knew Oliver was going to be in good hands after I met Steven for our meet and greet. Steven was very kind and kept me updated about my dog. I highly recommend him.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Marcela & Michelle. They went above and beyond to assure me that my dog was in the best care. They sent me photos and videos daily, even without me asking! I’ve never felt more assured that my dog was being well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use them next time I need a sitter!”
“Brittany was incredible. She sent us snaps, updates and made Millie feel at home immediately. She was very communicative and worked with us! We would highly recommended her and hope to have Millie stay with her again!”
“This was my first time using Mariyana, and she was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking, which I truly appreciated. She took great care of my dog for two days and was fantastic with him. I loved receiving updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Jayla took great care of my baby while I went away for 5 days and she gave me the peace of mind that I needed to really enjoy my trip. Her house was clean and spacious so I knew my dog would feel comfortable. I would definitely trust leaving my dog with her again!”
“Maria was absolutely lovely. Odin had the best time playing in the dog parks and going on walks. I felt so secure with Maria I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about how Odin was doing. He was in the best hands! Thank you again”
“Chelsea and Amy were awesome ! They provided daily photos and updates and I could tell Maximus enjoyed himself. There was plenty of yard space for them to run around and she had a kiddie pool for them to play and cool off in. Will definitely board Maximus with them again next time we go out of town.”

Rory did an amazing job with our dog. He was so excited to welcome Laika into his home. We just knew that she would have the best care while we were out of town. He sent lots of pictures and videos of her with pup cups, watching movies, and on walks. We absolutely recommend Rory as a rover!
Madeline was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my dog like one of her own. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book with Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Nydia was incredibly sweet and took great care of my dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs seemed happy and comfortable with her, and it looked like they really enjoyed spending time with her. I would definitely book with her again!
Jalen was a great dog sitter for my dog. He was very communicative. We met beforehand. He asked questions to know how to best serve my dog. When I picked my dog up after the stay he was very happy and you could tell he started to form a great relationship with Jalen. My flight was delayed and Jalen was able to accommodate the schedule change. I recommend Jalen for your pet sitting needs.
Delilah is an amazing pet sitter. This is her second time pet sitting for me. She was able to accommodate a mistake i made on my booking and take my puppy a day early. She always pays attention to your doggies needs and sends photo updates. She knew my puppy couldn’t be left for too long since he’s still young and switched her shift at her job so she could take my puppy with her 🥹 shes the absolute best!
Randy has been amazing! My dog absolutely loves him, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. He’s reliable, communicative, and always gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I was especially grateful that he was able to step in for us a few months ago after another sitter unexpectedly bailed mid-booking. Finding someone dependable isn’t easy, and I’m so glad we came across Randy. Will definitely continue booking with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Ayanna was great from the initial booking through picking up Mira at the end of her stay. She was very thorough during the booking process to make sure we were both comfortable with the expectations and logistics beforehand. Drop-off and pickup were very easy. From the pictures and videos I received, it looked like Mira had a great stay! A special bonus was that Mira got increased socialization through visits at a local doggy daycare where Ayanna works (which Ayanna cleared with me before taking her there). Would definitely look to book with her again in the future!
Erika and Francisco took great care of Bentley for a long weekend while I was on a trip. He seemed well cared for, attended to, played with and overall happy. He even got to stretch his legs in a Fourth of July excursion! I would recommend Erika and Francisco to anyone looking for boarding or care, and especially if your dog does better in an environment with fewer other dogs like mine.
Julie was wonderful with Zoe! She was kind, dependable, and made me feel completely at ease knowing Zoe was in such good hands. She took the time to make Zoe feel comfortable, kept me updated, and clearly cared for her as if she were her own. It’s obvious that Julie truly loves animals, and her calm, caring nature made the entire experience stress free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby. 🐾

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Houston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Houston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,403 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.
94% 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.
