“First time boarding my recently adopted dog Turkey. I could not have gotten luckier than to have found Roki on the Rover website. Communicated well prior to my dropping off Turkey. Was extremely welcoming when we arrived. Beautiful fenced in back yard and very gentle golden retriever for Turkey to play with. Highly recommend Roki.”
“Caitlin was so wonderful on our recent trip out of town and she made our nervous dog feel very comfortable. It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter and she was calm and patient with Georgia and communicative with us throughout the trip which definitely helped to alleviate our worries! Thank you Caitlin! Would recommend :)”
“Timothy was great. I needed a last monute booking and booked the day of and he was able to accommodate my dog for me for 4 nights. He sent me pictures and updates and Maverick had a great time.”
“Jacell was accommodating and kind. We left our dogs for 9 days. One of my pups requires an extensive eye medication routine and Jacell took great care of her. I don’t think my lil one wanted to leave! Recommend Jacell for pet sitting!”
“My pets stay with Vivian was amazing. She was very responsive the entire process, from booking to pickup. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how the cats were settling in! A week away was hard but knowing my babies were in good hands made it easier.”
About: I provide highly personalized, limited-capacity pet care for owners who want a truly attentive, above and beyond alternative to traditional kennel boarding or high-volume sitting. Because I’m home most of the day, boarding guests spend their stay living alongside me and receiving companionship and attention throughout the day. I board only one client household at a time, so your pets receive my dedicated attention throughout their stay rather than competing with unfamiliar animals or multiple bookings. I prioritize quality over volume, so I intentionally accept only a limited number of bookings each month. This allows me to tailor each stay around your pet’s individual routine, personality, comfort level, and needs. I also love going beyond the basics when it’s appropriate for the pet. That might mean extra play sessions, longer walks, special treats approved by their owner, or even joining us for an outing or adventure. My goal isn’t just to make sure your pet is fed and safe while you’re away—I want them to feel genuinely cared for, entertained, and loved. I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication routines, and pets who may need extra patience while settling into a new environment. I also tailor communication to each pet parent’s preferences. Some owners love frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, while others prefer a simple daily check-in. I’m happy to provide updates as often as you’d like so you can feel completely informed and connected while you’re away. When I accept a booking, I intentionally structure my schedule so your pet is my priority. I do not stack my calendar with other pet-care clients, appointments, or commitments that would compete for my attention while your pet is in my care. This is a major part of the premium experience I provide. Rather than fitting your pet into an already busy schedule, I reserve that time specifically for them so I can be present for hourly potty breaks and outdoor time, playtime, walks, enrichment, affection, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is for your pet to receive the kind of devoted attention I would want for my own. Because I reserve my time so intentionally, all bookings are confirmed only after a successful meet & greet. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and individual needs are always my priority. I live in a one-story home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy frequent supervised potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime throughout the day. I currently have one cat and no dogs of my own, and my cat can remain completely separate from visiting pets when needed. For boarding and daycare, I accept only one client household at a time. I do not mix unrelated clients’ pets, which allows me to maintain a calmer, more controlled environment and give your pet my individualized attention. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, behavioral boundaries, and any other care instructions closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Zee was the absolute BEST! My boys Frank & Beans stayed with her for a few days and she was so wonderful and I know they had such a good time. She took the best pictures of them, was super thorough and attentive, and it gave me so much relief and peace knowing they were in such good hands. Her home is beautiful and I know my pup loved the yard and getting great outside time. I can’t recommend Zee enough - I will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meagan took such great care of my Milo. Her love of animals is seen in the wonderful care and attention she gives to your pet. I loved getting daily updates with photos of Milo having a great time. I 100% recommend her and will be rebooking with Meagan again.”
“Jenni, Thank you so much for caring for our 2 dogs like they were family. We will definitely continue to use you. We loved the pictures and videos of the dogs. Thanks again see you in November! Kim”
“Martine kept our girl again and did an excellent job. I always feel comfortable knowing she’s going to be cared for the way we care for her. She kept us updated with daily photos which I love. She’s an excellent doggie sitter ❤️🐾”
“Synamon and Christoper took excellent care of my Daisy. I received many pictures and I could tell my dog was happy in their environment. She also played very well with their dog. I highly recommend them for all your pet sitting needs!”
“This lady is amazing! This is the second time we’ve booked her, but this time we went abroad. Unfortunately, the hurricane came snd she made sure to stay in constant contact and kept us updated on everything with pictures. Highly recommend her.”
“Ariel was amazing! She communicated very well during Rambo’s stay and sent daily updates and pictures. This really helped us keep our mind at ease knowing Rambo was doing great! 💗 She even gave Rambo a bath before pick up time. We will definitely use her services again! ⭐️”
“Dana took very good care of Buddy. She sent me pictures to show he was doing good. Buddy is diabetic, he is a very picky eater right now. Not only did Dana help with his shots but she even found food that he will eat. I will take Buddy to Dana for as long as she is dog sitting.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!
“If I ever have to leave my dog again, I definitely will be booking with Grace! She was so amazing with Roxy! Sent me pictures all weekend of Roxy and her pup Hulk! They loved each other!! I would definitely recommend Grace to watch anyone who feels uneasy about newly using Dog Vacay!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Kemah is $40

This was the first time Chloe stayed with Iahnna but I could tell she was 100% relaxed and happy. Iahnna has a beautiful, safe home with a large secured yard and I received a video every day of Chloe playing and having a great time! They even took her to the beach and walking on the trails near their home, I really could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! 🐶
Ari is one of the best Rover sitters I’ve ever experienced! I genuinely don’t think I’ll book with anyone else from now on. I have a very high-energy German Shepherd who can get a little mischievous without enough stimulation, and Ari took that need for playtime and activity so seriously. It was honestly the calmest my dog has ever been after staying with a Rover sitter. I booked with her for back-to-back weekends, and seeing how excited my dog was to see her again gave me so much comfort and reassurance. Ari truly cared for and loved my dog like she was her own baby, and you could tell by how comfortable and happy my dog was with her. It honestly felt like she had a second mom. I cannot recommend Ari enough!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Kemah can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kemah home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kemah.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kemah. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Kemah sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
