“Bondi had the best time during her week with Steven! We got to play with lots of other dogs and was constantly cared for. I loved receiving pictures of her during the day. We'll definitely bring her here again!”
“Jennifer is the perfect sitter for my old Lab. Her home is in a doggy neighborhood and is laid out perfectly for a lame old man like Blue, who really enjoyed his recent stay. Jennifer was a pro all the wsy - from taking notes on meds etc before I left to sending a daily updates while I was gone - I really felt comfortable with her every step of the way. Thank you, Jennifer; you took great care of my boy and we both had a stress-free experience!”
“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!”
“Presley loved his stay with Rachel & Keith so much he didn’t want to jump in the car for the ride home! He got lots of walks, snuggles, and love which is exactly what I wanted for him. Rachel & Keith sent me many pictures and updates which made me know Presley was getting the best care while I was away. I will 100% rebook the next time we are in the area!”
“Amber was great to communicate with and took great care of Finn for the weekend. I would highly recommend booking with her! Lots of photos and updates as well.”
“Jackie is very friendly, you can tell she is a dog lover! Our dog Kota benefitted from Jackie's active lifestyle (he likes to exercise too!) and had a blast playing with her friendly doggies.”
“This was Remi’s second stay with Sofia and it was great! Remi was super happy, I got great pics, and communication was easy. Will definitely use them again!”
“Ashley was sooooo amazing! This is my third time using Rover and she is def my fav sitter so far. She really makes our fur babies feel like they are at home! She takes great care of them and includes them in all of the activities and good treats the other dogs receive. I can't wait to use her again!!”
“Magali is an awesome host/sitter. She is very responsive and sends lots of great pictures and updates. Her pup, Kiwi, is very friendly - it was nice to know our dog also had a friend to play with beyond Magali’s amazing care. Highly recommended!”
“Amy was absolutely incredible as a pet sitter! From the very start, she went above and beyond to make sure Polar was happy, comfortable, and loved while I was away. She stayed in constant communication with me, sending the most adorable photos and videos that always put my mind at ease. What truly amazed me was the extra effort she put in—taking Polar along with her on errands so he wouldn’t feel lonely, and even treating him to a Starbucks pup cup! That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and shows just how much she genuinely cares for the pets she watches. I can’t thank Amy enough for stepping in during my time of need. She gave Polar not only excellent care but also joy, fun, and companionship. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own, and that makes all the difference. I will absolutely be booking with Amy again at every opportunity—she is a true gem and an absolute blessing as a pet sitter. Thank you, Amy, for everything! 💕”
“The best sitter ever! Remy kept us updated at all times. Her pups were extremely friendly and welcoming to our girl. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”
“Julie is wonderful and did a great job taking care of our dogs. They had a fun time there and were well taken care of. I recommend Julie and will be using her aging.”
“Isabella took great care of our dog! He can be anxious with new people but she was very patient and understanding. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands! The constant updates and pics of him really put us at ease and was so so appreciated.”
“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!”
“This is the second time Kaina stays with Carmelo. Kaina was very happy to see Carmelo. He sent daily updates and pictures of Kaina, she definitely had a great stayed. Thank you Carmelo!”
“My Teddy had a lot of fun and he enjoyed every minute of his stay with you . Thank you so much for taking such an amazing care of. He’s missed you already . Great job , thanks you .”
“Radica was great with my dog Chloe and provided lots of updates and pictures. She was quick to respond if I reached out and was gracious when a delayed flight created challenges during my pick up time. I would definitely rebook with her.”
“Great rover! I will use our services in the future for sure. She had great communication and sent me a lot of pictures of my dog, which was great. My dog is older so I had a lot of instructions for her and she read them and she followed everything to a t. I will use it again in the future for sure and I highly recommend her.”

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!
Ashante was amazing with my cat! She sent me pictures daily and reassured me when I was an anxious parent away from their fur baby. I can tell she truly loves any animal she cares for and I will definitely be turning to her for any pet sitting needs I need in the future!

The average cost for Pet 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 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 3,436 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.
