“Prior to using Zulma's services Buddy was experiencing separation anxiety when separated from me. He no longer has this behavioral disorder where a dog experiences distress and anxiety. When he is cared for by Zulma it's the same as with me. I am so grateful to have found someone to care for Buddy when I am away.”

“Rachel is our go to for my cat Pauly! He can be a lot of work sometimes and he is picky on where he’s at and with who. So i can tell she makes him feel comfortable at her home, he enjoys his time there. she keeps me updated with pictures all the time as well :)”
“Girlesa and family were great! They were super friendly and took care of my dog, Jordan on short notice. I was very happy and grateful for their help looking after Jordan. Thanks again!”
“Deisy is an amazing sitter and took great care of my dog while I was out of town. My dog has special dietary needs and she followed them directly. I even ended up food poisoned on my return trip and Deisy was very accommodating with pickup. I would highly recommend her.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Merry with Mary Lou and when I picked her up I could tell that Merry had been happy there. She was flexible with scheduling and responsive to my texts. I liked that Mary Lou had the time to spend with her and had experience owning her own dogs, even though she doesn’t currently have one. Merry is a low key dog and could just be there and relax.”
“Bama had a great time during his stay. Esther was very flexible and easy to work with. She kept us updated on how our dog was doing during his stay. She even gave him a bath. so he was fresh and clean when we picked him up!”

“Lory was incredible! She took great care of our dog Dietz. It was my husband and Is wedding week and she made the week extra special knowing our dog was being taken care of and by going above and beyond for us. Would definitely recommend Lory!”
“Holly was great!! We will definitely use her again. My dachshund got along so well with Hershey. I'm so glad we found him a playmate while we left. Thanks so much for him!”
“Julian and Nathalia took great care of our dog, they took him for 12 days over the holiday which allowed us to take the trip of a lifetime. We got tons of pictures and updates and would definitely book again!”
“Lilia is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable and cared for. We love the pictures Lilia sends of our pup! I don’t worry when my dog is with Lilia because I know Lilia will take care of Jill as if she was her own. Thank you, Lilia!”
“Tommy J. was an absolute lifesaver! I had a last-minute trip this weekend and he graciously took my Yorkie, Mello, on very short notice. Tommy and his girlfriend Christy went above and beyond caring for him. They provided constant updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Mello was happy, comfortable, and being treated like part of their family. It means so much to know your pet is in such caring hands. I’m incredibly grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I would absolutely trust Tommy with Mello again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Zasio had the best time. This time he stayed over night. I got a lot of pictures and videos of him having the time of his life! Going to the store, out to eat, and on walks. I don’t know that I’ll need a sitter anytime in the future, but I would make one more booking just so Zasio can spend time with his new bestie. Thank you so much!”
“Third time I let my dog with Paul (for 2 weeks each time). Great sitter. My dog looks super happy when it stays with Paul. Never many dogs at a time and great attention given. Paul keeps us update with great pics and is flexible when necessary.”

I would repeat with Luis. The only area for improvement is communication during the stay: out of the 7 days my dog spent with him, I only received photos and videos on 2 days because I asked for them. I would have loved to receive daily updates, but overall the service was good.
She is the best! Our dog Meta always looks so happy with her, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he is having a great time while he’s with her. We completely trust her with Meta and are so happy she was available to watch him. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
Briana took care of Logan while we were away and honestly?? She was AMAZING 🙌 She sent us pics and updates basically every day so we never had to stress, and Logan looked SO happy and comfortable the whole time. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, not just doing the bare minimum. He came back happy, healthy, and clearly loved on the whole time!! We felt 100% at ease the entire trip knowing he was in good hands. Can't recommend Briana enough!
Zasio had the best time. This time he stayed over night. I got a lot of pictures and videos of him having the time of his life! Going to the store, out to eat, and on walks. I don’t know that I’ll need a sitter anytime in the future, but I would make one more booking just so Zasio can spend time with his new bestie. Thank you so much!
Lia is very caring, and a true dog lover! I can tell my dog likes her, and it eases his separation anxiety to be with her. It also eases my separation anxiety being away from my dog to know he's in her care. I believe she is very attentive to him. I highly recommend Lia as a dog care person.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in North Houston 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 North Houston 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 North Houston.
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 North Houston. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 North Houston 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.
