About: I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys a relaxed stroll or an active run, I’m happy to match their pace and help them get the exercise they need. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and a consistent part of your pet’s routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for every time we’re together. As a full-time student with a very flexible summer schedule, I have plenty of availability to provide reliable and consistent pet care. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and runs, so dog walking naturally fits into my routine. I love spending time outdoors, and I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I always follow your instructions and make your pet’s safety my top priority. I’ll make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise based on their age, energy level, and needs while keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the walk. I pay close attention to leash safety, avoid situations that could be stressful or unsafe, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll know your dog is having a great time while you’re away.
“Stephanie is fantastic! She is so sweet and kind—Lavinia is happy and comfortable when with her. Stephanie sends photos throughout the day and is very easy to communicate with!”
“Steven took great care of my Mulder and was extremely flexible with my work schedule! It's hard to find daycare working in the medical field. Not many people are okay with being up at 5:30am unless they have to, but no complaints from Steven! Thank you!”
“Erica has been amazing taking care of my dog, he always leaves happy. She accepted my last minute sitter request, and was super understanding when I had to pick him up an hour late one day. Would definitely reccomend!”
“Maria (and Penny too!) took such great care of Flynn! We got lots of photos and videos, it was so clear that Flynn was having fun all day. I would definitely recommend Maria!”
“Delilah was amazing, very good with our fur baby, very experienced. But most important very tolerating and understanding with our little Tornado Raadi. Followed our instructions exactly and kept us updated as needed and or requested. Would highly recommend her.”
“Idalia was wonderful with Elsie! She was very attentive and made sure Elsie felt comfortable and at home throughout the day. Elsie and Cloud got along really well, and she came home happy and ready to play, which was a great sign that she had a fun day! Idalia also kept us updated throughout the day with photos and details about what they were doing. We really appreciated how caring and thoughtful she was with Elsie. We would definitely trust her with Elsie again!”
“This was my first experience with a pet sitter. Ximena was wonderful with Barney and stayed in contact throughout the day. She was very responsive and sent photos and videos throughout the day to keep me updated. I could tell Barney had a blast and came home happy and relaxed. I could tell Ximena truly cared and made sure Barney had a great day and got along with the other pups. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I recently moved from Austin to Houston and the hardest part is always looking for a new place to board my dog. My dog is completely blind and really is clingy to me. She’s dared to me, so I am always cautious about where I have her say. But this daycare day was amazing for her. I got lots of photos which always makes me feel better. Because I can see that she’s OK! The report cards are also very thorough, which is amazing! The ladies are so kind and let me come in and see the space. I love that they are crate free minus meal times! I’m so relieved to have found this Dogsitter and lemon will be coming often as I travel!”
“Kathi’s was fantastic with our girl. She was very communicate before, during and after the visit. It’s clear that she has a great way with dogs and patience for even the trickiest ones, like our Cairo. A bonus was that she has her own pup who was a great playmate during Cairo’s visit. Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly was great with Gibson, and even was able to accommodate when I was unable to pick him up at his original time. I can’t recommend a more kind and trusting sitter! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“She did a great job with Rocket! He was so happy in her care and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Angelique provided timely updates with the cutest pictures and videos of my puppy! Angelique and her family pampered him with love. I would definitely rebook!”

It was a pleasure leaving Rami in the company of Michelle for a short visit. She is a lovely, very responsible care-giver and made a concerted effort to make both me and the dog comfortable. Unfortunately Rami had an "accident" in the hallway, leaving Michelle with the cleanup, and I apologize for that. Thank you, Michelle, for helping out last night!

Hannah offered a positive daycare experience for our three dogs who are 16, 12, and 5 years old respectively, and range from 20 to 45 pounds. We were able to helpfully meet her and her two dogs in the nearby dog park and walk over to her place. Her home is well set up for our dogs with safety gates and an exterior gate around the front door for added protection. My senior dog (20lbs) benefits from being carried up and down stairs to prevent extra strain on his spine and Hannah was very proactive on this point. We received photos and updates and returned to a happy crew. Because Hannah only takes three dogs at a time at this point in addition to her two pups, our trio of dogs were well rested and happy rather than tired out with adjustment stress. We will be booking with Hannah again.
Leah was wonderful with my super senior dog! She was kind, attentive, and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. From the pictures, it was obvious my pup was comfortable, happy, and receiving lots of love and attention. Caring for an older dog takes extra patience, and Leah went above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! It’s clear he genuinely love animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and reassurance that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Coming home after picking her up our dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful time. It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy who treats your pet like family. We highly recommend Rory to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
Lauren has a warm and friendly personality, responds quickly, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of my dog Frannie! Loved having her as a pet sitter. Frannie always seemed to be in a good mood when I picked her up! Plus her dog, Prince, got along very well with Frannie :)
Cassandra is amazing! Our dog immediately went with her and seemed to have an incredible time! He came home tired and happy after she took him out on many adventures. We really enjoyed the fun photos she sent of him. She's friendly to people and dogs - perfect situation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Houston on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,459 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Houston commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,459 sitters in Houston, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
