“Leslie did a wonderful job! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which made us feel so comfortable knowing our pup was safe and having fun. I’d definitely recommend her!”
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.
“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.”
“Jocelyn was amazing! I was so nervous because I’ve never been away from my puppy, but she made the experience great! Constant pictures , updates, and great communication skills! Can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Randy was absolutely incredible. He took care of Elio like his own and went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did he accept my booking on very short notice but he also kept Elio an extra two days without hesitation when my plans changed. That level of flexibility and understanding is rare. I felt completely at ease knowing Elio was with someone so reliable, kind, and accommodating. You can tell Randy genuinely cares. I’m beyond grateful and wouldn’t trust just anyone the way I trust him. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Lauren is an amazing communicator, was very attentive with my dog and gave us an overall wonderful experience. She even gave me a gift bag with pet treats at the end. 100% would book 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.”
“Marcela and Michelle were responsive, attentive, and thorough with our pups! They went above and beyond to cater to our pups' allergies and activity levels, catering to their different needs with the focus and care of true pet-lovers and experts. I usually have nagging thoughts and worries about whether my pups are happy while I'm away, but not this time! Their first stay with Marcela and Michelle let me fully relax knowing that they were in caring and capable hands - it's such a luxury to have connected with them!”
“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.”
“Erica did a wonderful job dog sitting my fur baby. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while in her care. I appreciated her regular updates and the genuine affection she showed. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Erica with my fur baby again. Highly recommended!”
“Brittany was amazing and my Yoko absolutely loved her! This is the first time that someone has watched my dog and he didn’t come back with any stomach issues. I can’t explain it, but I picked him up the same way I left him, his energy was still the same as when I left - no anxiety and didn’t look to be stressed or sad. I just seemed like he had a loving weekend with a family member. Thank you so much, Brittany, for taking good care of Yoko! We hope to book again!”
“Angelique was AMAZING. I was really worried to leave my baby with someone I have never met for 6 days but after picking up Prince, I knew he felt right at home. He whined when Angelique went inside to get his things. I got consistent updates and I know he received so much love. His old bed tore and she replaced it! I will definitely be booking again with her.”
“It was another great experience! Ximena is so responsive and sends videos/photos everyday. Remi loves staying there and it’s comforting knowing he’s happy when we’re away!”
“We are very happy with the good care Renee have to our 10 month old German Shepherd. We particularly like that she only takes 1 Rover client at a time.”
“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!”
“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.”
“So grateful to have found such wonderful in home care. My dog Rocky is incredibly shy and Steve did a great job of helping him feel comfortable and safe. Steve created a safe space and helped Rocky naturally begin to interact with the other dogs at his own pace. Bonus is they were all little dogs too! I had just moved here and had to go on a work trip and Steve was the perfect person to take care of my high anxiety fur baby.”
“Mariyana is AMAZING!!! She is attentive, responsive and caring. She truly loves what she does. This was my senior pup’s first time under someone else’s care (other than family) and Mariyana gave her all the love and attention she needed. My pup came back full of life and energy, I can tell she had an amazing time under Mariyana’s care. It’s safe to say that Mariyana is my fur baby’s forever sitter. Thank You Mariyana you are the best!”

Randy has become our go‑to pet sitter whenever we travel, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his care. He sends regular updates and photos. Knowing Buddy is in such good hands allows us to truly enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Randy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.
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.
Hannah was nothing short of amazing! I’ve used rover many many times over the course of 8 years and this was my best experience. Her place was super clean, her pups were super well adjusted and mingled well, and most of all Hannah was amazing. She sent pics and videos constantly and seemed to really connect and care about my pups. I couldn’t recommend her more 😊
I could not recommend Ruaidhri enough! He is so thoughtful and caring with our two goldens and I trust him implicitly! From the very first meet and greet, he immediately put me at ease and has gone above and beyond to care for them! He sends loads of pictures and videos and I know that I never have to worry about them when they’re with Ruaidhri!
Angelique was amazing! This was my first time leaving Tay with a pet sitter outside of a traditional boarding facility, so I was definitely nervous. She met with me beforehand for a meet-and-greet, which immediately eased my anxiety. During Tay’s stay, she sent daily updates and lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Tay was well cared for and in great hands the entire time. Angelique is so sweet, and her family is incredibly kind as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Tay will definitely be back! 🩷
Fiiipa and Kiki always take wonderful care of Finley! I trust them completely. Finley is now on several medications and an insulin shot and they took the time to have me drop him off early to go over his medication schedule and how to administer the shot (although Filipa already had experience with this). I'll definitely be using them again when we go out of town.
Perla is the best! She was super welcoming from the beginning/initial conversation. I felt So comfortable leaving Fendi and King with her. She provided so many updates as well and from the looks of the pics, they had an amazing time. I’ll definitely book again. Yall better book too!

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.
