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.”
“I’ll admit; I am over protective of my Chief; however, he seemed to be right at home with this family of sitters. They sent pictures of how Chief’s day had gone and I loved seeing that he was comfortable. I will definitely be bringing Chief back to visit.”
“We love Chelsea & Amy! So happy we found them and our girl loves it there. Your pup will never be in better hands! Very flexible and accommodating as well. 12/10”
“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!”
“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!”
“I had a last minute trip that I needed to make and specifically needed a sitter who only cares for one dog at a time. Brittany was so quick responding and was able to take care of my girl. She was also able to administer her eye medication while I was away. I genuinely felt at ease leaving my pup with her and would gladly use her again.”
“Renee took wonderful care of my dog Mash while I was out of town on a twelve day trip. She sent daily updates with photos of their walks and puppy playtime.”
“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!”
“lesly did an amazing job at watching our dog, benny! He had so much fun playing with her two sweet goldendoodles and sent us regular updates and pictures so we could see what he was up to! Thank you so much!!”
“My dog stay was nothing short of amazing! Lauren went over and beyond to show special care and love to my fur baby! Truly appreciate how she communicated throughout his stay with pictures and text updates. Also, her family was sooo nice and welcoming. I will be booking with her again and again after that! Dash loved his gift’! Thanks Lauren ☺️☺️”
“Darius is an excellent sitter- he was very attentive, patient and caring with my fur baby, Henry. He went above and beyond to ensure Henry was comfortable and happy. Thank you for taking great care of my baby while I was away for a couple of days.”
“Angelique is amazing! This is the second time that she takes care of my two (2) dogs and has always been a wonderful experience. She is caring, gentle and keeps me well informed, all the time. I HIGHLY recommend her for any boarding needs! Will definitely leave my four-legged family members with her whenever I need to travel!”
“Fanny did an amazing job caring for our baby! She was very flexible with the drop off/pick up. We were coming back in from a long drive from out of town and she offered to drop her off to us at home. We really appreciate her for everything.”

Erica is the best! During our two week trip, she constantly sent pictures and updated us with how my our dog was doing. I know my dog had an absolute blast with Erica and her dogs! Our return flight got cancelled to an additional day and Erica was super accommodating in taking care of Bumi another night. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter
Lauren was amazing watching my baby during my long vacation. She was so attentive to his needs and constantly kept me in the loop with him multiple times a day. My dog can be a bit excited and is full of energy so I’m always hesitant about boarding him but Lauren made me feel at ease and they bonded so well. Her massive backyard is the perfect place for him to run around and get his wiggles out and play with the other pups in her care. Her room where his kennel was kept was so organized, clean, and exactly what he needed- as was her entire home for him to roam freely. He loved it there upon our meet and greet before I booked so I knew it was the best fit. I will definitely be bringing him back to her and highly recommend her to anyone out there!
Maria took excellent care of my 50lb foster dog, Dozer. I had trouble finding someone who I felt confident leaving Dozer with for almost a week because he is an active young dog in need of some training. Maria and her family were welcoming and up for the challenge. They took him for daily walks and gave him plenty of exercise and love. Maria was very conscientious about continuing his training and following the feeding instructions. I mistakenly did not give her enough food and she took the initiative to ask what type of food he eats and went out and bought more. She allowed him to be throughout the house and on the furniture and gave him chew toys which he love. Her communication was outstanding. She sent me several pictures and text updates every day. I highly recommend Maria for pet sitting.
Tyson loves his stays with Tressa! He always comes back so happy and loves the additional outside time in her yard. It’s always so hard being away for work but receiving daily updates and photos makes that time fly by. Highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

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.
