“Anna was amazing!! I felt like my dog was well taken care of throughout the entire time, as she would send me daily updates. I would definitely like to book with her again. Tganks”
“I am very happy with the care that Karlie gave my dog. She was always sending me photos and talking to me about his behavior. I have never felt so calm and happy leaving my dog with someone! 100% recommended.”
“Amber always takes great care of Zuki. Communication is fast and easy, and she sends plenty of picture updates. Highly recommend and we will continue to trust her with our dog on our next trip!”
“Rosa & Manny were in constant contact and sending us pics of our two dogs while on a long vacation. That helped ease our minds and allowed us to enjoy our time away. I would highly recommend them!”
“Definitely divinely led to this beautiful couple. We couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience for our fur baby. She was so happy when we picked her up! She was so well loved and cared for. Should we find ourselves in Houston again, we hope they are still on Rover. Thank you, Marlene and Gabriel!”
“Ashley took wonderful care of my two senior dogs, Pup and Mac, over Memorial Day weekend. From the start, she was flexible and accommodating with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything much easier. She sent regular photo updates throughout their stay, reached out for clarification when needed, and cared for them during the thunderstorm! This gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated them like family. She even let them sleep with her, which helped my older dogs feel comfortable and at home. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“Tyshaunnah was very friendly and took very good care of Levi. She would send me updates of him and was very responsive. I would recommend her and will definitely consider her again if I ever need a sitter again.”
“Shay was in great hands with Claire. The daily walks, fenced backyard and playtime with Kona were great for him, and since Claire had border collies in her life at one point, she understood his quirkiness. Will book again with her next time I need to board him.”
“Addison did a great job watching my dog while I was overseas on a trip and difficult to reach. During his stay, my dog got quite sick (likely from eating something on a walk). Upon noticing this, she took the initiative to reach out to my emergency contact for guidance and took him to a 24 hour emergency vet. She followed the instructions and provided above and beyond care to help him recover from his illness. I appreciated Addison's above and beyond care and attention that she provided.”
“Kimberly did an awesome job with my overly active fur baby. Very responsive on updates and even provided photo. Would definitely recommend her services.”
“Alejandra took wonderful care of our dog Caffy for 4 nights. She sent us updates every day, so we always knew how Caffy was doing. Caffy can be anxious in her crate and didn't want to eat the first day, but Alejandra was very patient with her — she left the crate door open, then tried the crate in another room until Caffy slept peacefully without crying. Caffy played a lot with her dog, ran around the yard, and was clearly happy and well cared for. We came home to a calm, happy dog. We highly recommend Alejandra and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Nydia went above and beyond my expectations: not only did she handle my dog with care, she also updated me nonstop with stuff she likes at home. I cannot thank her enough and definitely hope to use her again!”
“Aly is amazing! She cared for my dog Cookie while I was away for the weekend and did a great job of keeping my high energy dog entertained. She also sent me lots of pictures and videos which I really appreciated! I would recommend her and will definitely be booking with her the next time I have to travel.”
“Our dogs had the best time! We received multiple pictures daily. Julian and Nathalia also sent daily updates. We will definitely be using their services again! They took great care of our dogs and we couldn’t be happier !”
“Dustin is the best! Dependable and my boy Skip is comfortable staying with him! Seamless drop off and pick up. We will definitely book with Dustin again.”
“Here’s a polished, warm review you can use: Tiffany was amazing! Our pup, Tara, absolutely loved staying at her place. Tara is a bit of a special case—she’s quite scared to walk on a leash—but Tiffany was incredibly patient and accommodating. Her backyard and front yard setup were a huge help and made Tara feel comfortable and safe. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for loving, thoughtful care for their dog. 🐾”
“Our dog came home happy and well. We came by for a quick visit with Morgan and her dog ahead of the stay to make sure they were ok together. All went well. She sent us a photo each day which was a nice way to check in. We would love to use Morgan again for our future needs.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Houston is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Lauren is an excellent sitter! By far one of the best experiences I've had on Rover. My dog felt so comfortable around her - she has such a welcoming energy and her space was so clean and well kept! We got picture updates 3x a day and I could tell my dog was enjoying her stay while she was there. When we picked her up, she had a clean bed, a doggie treat bag, and even a tide pod in there so we could wash her blankets and bandanas at home. Just above and beyond! You can tell she really loves and cares for your pet like her own. I would recommend her a thousand times and give her a 10 star review if I could :)
Angelique was amazing! Her services were absolutely wonderful, and she was very communicative throughout the entire stay. She consistently sent me updates and pictures of my baby, which I really appreciated. When I picked him up, he was so happy and seemed very well cared for. I will definitely be booking with Angelique again.
This is the third time I've left my kitten with Camilo, and honestly, even though I really don't like being separated from her, I always feel at ease when she's with him. I trust him completely, and I know he takes good care of her. He always sends me photos so I know she's doing well. 10 out of 10.
Melissa was outstanding, our miniature dachshund Lola had a lovely time at Melissa home whilst we were away, including a few day excursions, for which the photos looked amazing. Melissa was recommended to us from a friend and we would happily recommend her to anyone seeking Rover services.
This was my first time ever leaving my babies with anyone who wasn’t family or a close friend and I was extremely nervous. Fatima was super sweet since our first interaction and I immediately knew I chose the right person to care for my Blue while I was gone. She was extremely communicative the entire time, always sending me updates and pictures of how he was doing and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was being cared for so intentionally. I’m super grateful her and Cider accepted Blue into their home and would definitely book again!
Korelle was an amazing pet sitter for my two pups, Jimmy and Violet. She sent lots of pictures and daily "report cards" that I thought were precious. She was also able to accommodate a last minute late pick-up, which was much appreciated. My pups were definitely well cared for and loved while I was out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Houston is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $63 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 3,434 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Houston. About 92% of Houston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
