“This was my first using rover. I booked it for two days. Jocelyn and their son Syrus were fantastic sitters for my dog! I loved that they send me multiple pictures and videos the entire time. Canelo was so happy when he arrived and when left so I know he had a great time. I will definitely use them again to babysit my precious canelo..”
“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!”
“Steven is the best doggie daycare on the Rover. He is caring, responsive, attentive and understanding. He took special care of my Yorkie and sent me pictures Parson during the day. I can’t wait to use him again and I’ve already referred him to my friends.”
About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a registered nurse and recent graduate of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program. While I'm waiting for my APRN license to be finalized, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend that time caring for your pets. I've lived with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medication needs. As a registered nurse, I bring an extra level of attentiveness, reliability, and comfort with administering medications if needed. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a run, playtime at the park, or simply lots of cuddles and companionship, I'm happy to tailor my care to their personality and routine. I'm responsible, active, and genuinely love being around animals. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I truly miss having a dog around every day, and I'd be honored to spend time with yours. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently waiting for my APRN license to be finalized before starting my new position, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, spend quality time with your pet, and adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to maintain your pet's normal schedule. I'll carefully follow any feeding, medication, exercise, or household instructions you provide and will always make sure your pet has fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and tailor my care to their individual needs. Communication is also important to me. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. As a registered nurse, I'm naturally detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs, including administering medications when needed.
“I was a bit anxious about leaving Harper while I had some tests run at MDA. I received photos and encouragement that he was doing just fine! (I should have known he wouldn’t miss me as much as I missed him.) What a great resource for any MDA patients from out of town! Harper will definitely be staying with Tommie and Jeffrey in the future.”
About: Your dogs experience with me will include lots of affection, and play time. I believe in making dogs feel loved by giving lots of affection. They will also get plenty of playtime and get to lay in bed with me for naptime. I will constantly communicate with them to make them as comfortable as possible. Praising them when their good and reprimanding them when their bad, but in a nurturing manner. I'm home 24/7 full time so I will have plenty of time to play and accompany your sweet fur baby making sure they're taking care of. I have fenced yard and one friendly dog to accompany and play your sweet fur baby but also I can put your pup in crate or my pup in crate only if needed.
“Our puppy had such a great time at daycare. He loved getting to play with the other dogs, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. Miranda and Paula are wonderful. They clearly care about the dogs and made sure our pup was happy and having fun. We really appreciated the great communication!”
“Shanieka did amazing with our boys, our pitty mix can be selective with people but she took the time to allow him to get comfortable. He ended up loving her! So glad to have found someone that treats the boys like their own☺️”
“Jessica was great! She clearly loves animals and my pup bonded with her. It is always hard to leave a pup with someone new, but Jessica was very thoughtful in introducing my Bonni to her pets, and she held Bonni to give her comfort at drop off and kept me updated with pictures. I will not hesitate to drop Bonni off with her again.”
“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!”
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.
“Kota and Eric took care of my fur baby and were VERY communicative during her time at their house! I got videos and photos and regular updates on how she was doing. And they were very clear on their activities while she was with them! Very thorough and allowed me the time to enjoy myself without worrying about how my fur baby was doing. Definitely will use them again when I need to! Thank you both!”
“Keith and Rachel were super welcoming to our dog, they walked her even during the day, gave her lots of attention and care, and sent frequent photos. We felt completely at easy and would happily book with them again.”
“Hi, yesterday I brought my baby to a day care in Claudia’s house. Claudia is super nice, very professional, she has experience with dogs, her house is clean and comfortable. Thanks you Claudia to be nice and lovely with my Fiona. We will come back next week.”
“Zulma was great! She let me updated the whole time. I can tell my boys were exhausted after having so much fun with her. She has a big yard for them to play in and a great neighborhood for them to walk in. She took amazing care of my puppy and older dog”
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life! Friends and family have relied on me to let sit, through college and childhood. Well versed with different breeds as well. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make time to give every pet the attention, affection, and exercise they deserve. As a student, I have a schedule that allows me to be dependable and flexible for pet parents. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I make sure I watch pets closely and provide them with the right care. If they have special diets or preferences, I can make the proper accommodations.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
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!
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!
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!
Mykah was amazing! She took care of our baby Benito for the whole day, and he was so happy and calm when we picked him up. We had to book a last-minute stay since we’re not from H-Town and had to bring Benito with us, and Mykah responded incredibly quickly. Communication was excellent the entire time. She kept us updated on how Benito was doing and sent pictures and videos of him playing and snoozing, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Houston on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,461 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 2,461 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.
