“Leslie takes great care of our dog. He is very comfortable and happy with Leslie. We can see this in the pictures that Leslie sends and it gives us complete peace of mind while we are away. She is absolutely wonderful.”
“Kelsie is a wonderful sitter. She watched my two pups over the weekend and sent me daily updates. My pups were happy and well cared for when I picked them up. Would definitely recommend Kelsie to watch your pets! 😊”
“Zoraya took care of my puppy Coco for the weekend, and I am very thankful I found her! She is very sweet and caring, and I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. Her home is spacious and pet friendly also. Her dog Danny is very playful and friendly, and it seems Coco enjoyed his company once she warmed up as she is very shy initially. I would definitely recommend Zoraya to watch your fur baby.”
“I had to leave my sweet girl—Lin—for the first time while I traveled, I was so so worried, but Leigh was amazing! She sent me pictures everyday and Lin looked so happy and cared for, it was easy for me to relax and enjoy my vacation! I’m so glad I booked with Leigh and I highly recommend her.”
“Lucie stayed with Randy for eleven days while I was away on a last-minute trip. My plans kept changing, and Randy was incredibly flexible and accommodating each time. I even needed to switch from drop-off to pickup just two hours beforehand and extend Lucie’s stay by an extra day, and Randy handled everything quickly and kindly. Lucie came home very happy, and it’s clear she had a fun and relaxing time with the other pups.”
“Whiskey came home ready to nap. Seems like he had a good time! Erica is a lovely woman that loves dogs! Im grateful she kept him and gave him a fun holiday break.”
“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 took awesome care of our pup Chloe. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and ensured Chloe had the best care. I will definitely be calling her in the future to take care of our pup.”
“Jocelyn and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobbie. She sent frequent updates and pictures while we were away and we know that Dobbie had a great time. ”
“Ximena was absolutely wonderful with Cody! She stayed in contact throughout the entire stay, sending frequent photo updates and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care about the animals they watch. I came home to a very happy and relaxed pup. I will definitely be booking with them again!"”
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.
“What an awesome sitter team these two are! My babies were very well taken care of which was seen through the many pictures and updates provided. Will definitely use their boarding service again and recommend to anyone!”
“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!”
“She was great to send messages, pics and videos. I knew Rocksi was good, she even lost some needed weight with all the walking she got and a blanket she loves. Thanks again!”
“Lesly took great care of my two dogs! She sent photos and videos while I was away and the dogs genuinely looked happy and had a good time! When I pulled up to pick them up, my older dog was outside for a potty break. I hadn’t opened my door yet and she was just very contently going pee (I know this is weird - stick with me hahah), she was sniffing the air and wasn’t stressed at all. This dog is an anxiety queen - so seeing her content was just the confirmation of what I already knew: they had a lovely vacation! Thanks Lesly!! My girls will be back if you’ll have them.”
“Pups had a great time at Maddy’s! She made sure I got photos while I was away and was very responsive setting everything up. She even gave them a personal note with treats when I got back! Highly recommend as I’d love to use her boarding services again!”
“Kayla has been wonderful. I mistakenly shorted my booking by one day and Kayla accommodated me even tho she didn't have to. I really appreciate Kayla being so genuine and intentional! Peyton has earned allergies and she made sure he got his ear drops daily. He came home with no more itchy red ears! PeytonPooch had a wonderful time.”
“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.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Houston is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Alyssa was fantastic with our dog! She helped us out at the last minute for a trip we were taking. She was very accessible and answered all of our questions. Alyssa cared for our dog like it was her own, and provided updates on a regular basis. I could tell our dog felt at home with her, and really enjoyed his time. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone in need of dog sitting services.
Debbie provided excellent care for my rescue dog Akela. She provided plenty of updates and I can tell Akela was genuinely loved and cared for while I was away. Akela does not do well with other dogs and can be protective, etc. and Debbie met and exceeded all of Akela’s needs to have a comfortable and relaxing stay.
Abigail was fantastic! I was a little nervous leaving my anxious 16-year-old pup, but Abigail immediately made me feel comfortable. Our meet & greet went really well, and her communication before and during the stay was superb. She kept me updated throughout my pups’ stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using Abigail again and would highly recommend her!
Madeline was awesome! Super responsive from the beginning and took great care of Bella. We especially appreciated checking in with us before giving Bella any treats or food beyond what we got for her. We highly recommend leaving your pup with her, we will certainly be doing so in the future.
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! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Houston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,376 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.
