“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.”
“She was great to send messages, pics and videos. I knew Rocksi was good, she even lost some needed weight with all the walking she got and a blanket she loves. Thanks again!”
“My dog is very anxious and can be weird about taking walks, but Ryan was great at letting him get used to him/comfortable with him and was even able to get him to go on walks after a while. I really appreciated Ryan’s text and picture updates because I miss my pup so much when I’m away from him! He was always super quick to respond, and his apartment location is really convenient as well. I will be using Ryan again!”
“Idalia is a great sitter - she was super understanding of some scheduling changes I needed to make as well as a last minute addition of giving my dog ear drops each day. She provided detailed updates several times each day with cute pictures and my dog seemed really happy after he came home. Will be booking again!”
“Adrion had very quick communication and great patience with our puppy! I was very anxious since this was my first time having someone watch my puppy, but Adrion took great care of him in boarding. Would book again!”
“Fanny and her family were wonderful! I could tell Bentley was very comfortable and truly enjoyed his time with them. She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Kevin and Brian were wonderful with our goofy girl! We received several updates and pictures throughout her stay with them. It was very comforting knowing they cared for her so well. 😊 We will definitely check with them first the next time we need reliable, caring, and excellent sitters. We cannot recommend them enough!”
“Michelle is THE BEST!!! I found Michelle last minute in a panic and she was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous. She was soooo incredibly patient with me as I kept going back and forth deciding if I would take them with me or just give myself a break and leave them with her. I am so glad I made the decision to leave my dogs with Michelle. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michelle checked in multiple times a day with photos and updates. She kept my dogs an extra day when I needed it at the last minute, squeezing them in before another client. She also took the time to educate me on some behavioral things I could work on with one of my dogs. Michelle truly went above and beyond from the start, up until the moment she dropped off my babies. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in every way. My dogs are in great hands with her and she is now my permanent go-to sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle without hesitation!”
“Casandra and family were great! Finn had a very good time with them and they were very attentive and took Finn for walks and playtime, and their children got along with Finn very well.”
“Elena was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and communicated to us throughout each day with updates. We definitely will use her services again! Highly recommend!”
“Owen has watched my baby several times now and I have 0 complaints! He sends pictures and videos during her stay and she gets VERY excited when we pull up to his home. I’ll absolutely be booking with him again in the future.”
“Lauren is the best sitter ever. I’m so happy we got a chance to meet you! She took great care of Mazi at such a short notice & was consistent with follow ups throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my baby. I highly recommend Lauren for your fur babies ! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Isabella is amazing! I reached out to her last minute and she accommodated my husky for the weekend. She really got to know him, and kept me updated the whole time I was away. She really has a way with pets! I would recommend her again and again, and I will be coming back to her when I need a sitter in the future! Thank you Isabella!”
“Angelique was awesome!!! We needed overnight boarding for our dog Cali as we were going to Las Vegas for 4 days and Angelique took the assignment. She did a great job sending pics and text messages and we felt very comfortable leaving Cali with Angelique.”
“Marley had so much fun at Tommie & Jeffrey's that we're afraid he wants to move in! As usual, he seemed like he had the time of his life playing with his pup friends. We hate leaving our little guy when we have to go out of town, but all the pictures and videos made us feel really confident that he was being well cared for. We are so grateful to know Marley is in great hands.”
“This is our second time having Stephanie take care of our two dogs and she goes above and beyond to make sure our pups up happy, safe, and loved!! Her communication is excellent and we received many updates!”
“Madeline was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my dog like one of her own. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book with Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Perla was accommodating for my very last minute booking. The drop off was quick and smooth. Once both dogs settled in, they were treated with a spa-like vacation - sitting on couch and sleeping in bed with Ms. Perla. I would definitely book with her in a heartbeat. Best sitter for me on Rover.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time, but Terry was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated throughout Johnny's stay, and he had such a great time with her. I would definitely rebook her for future trips!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Houston is $40

Rory did an amazing job with our dog. He was so excited to welcome Laika into his home. We just knew that she would have the best care while we were out of town. He sent lots of pictures and videos of her with pup cups, watching movies, and on walks. We absolutely recommend Rory as a rover!
Madeline was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my dog like one of her own. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book with Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Nydia was incredibly sweet and took great care of my dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs seemed happy and comfortable with her, and it looked like they really enjoyed spending time with her. I would definitely book with her again!
Jalen was a great dog sitter for my dog. He was very communicative. We met beforehand. He asked questions to know how to best serve my dog. When I picked my dog up after the stay he was very happy and you could tell he started to form a great relationship with Jalen. My flight was delayed and Jalen was able to accommodate the schedule change. I recommend Jalen for your pet sitting needs.
Delilah is an amazing pet sitter. This is her second time pet sitting for me. She was able to accommodate a mistake i made on my booking and take my puppy a day early. She always pays attention to your doggies needs and sends photo updates. She knew my puppy couldn’t be left for too long since he’s still young and switched her shift at her job so she could take my puppy with her 🥹 shes the absolute best!
Randy has been amazing! My dog absolutely loves him, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. He’s reliable, communicative, and always gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I was especially grateful that he was able to step in for us a few months ago after another sitter unexpectedly bailed mid-booking. Finding someone dependable isn’t easy, and I’m so glad we came across Randy. Will definitely continue booking with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Ayanna was great from the initial booking through picking up Mira at the end of her stay. She was very thorough during the booking process to make sure we were both comfortable with the expectations and logistics beforehand. Drop-off and pickup were very easy. From the pictures and videos I received, it looked like Mira had a great stay! A special bonus was that Mira got increased socialization through visits at a local doggy daycare where Ayanna works (which Ayanna cleared with me before taking her there). Would definitely look to book with her again in the future!
Erika and Francisco took great care of Bentley for a long weekend while I was on a trip. He seemed well cared for, attended to, played with and overall happy. He even got to stretch his legs in a Fourth of July excursion! I would recommend Erika and Francisco to anyone looking for boarding or care, and especially if your dog does better in an environment with fewer other dogs like mine.
Julie was wonderful with Zoe! She was kind, dependable, and made me feel completely at ease knowing Zoe was in such good hands. She took the time to make Zoe feel comfortable, kept me updated, and clearly cared for her as if she were her own. It’s obvious that Julie truly loves animals, and her calm, caring nature made the entire experience stress free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Houston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,461 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Houston. About 91% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
