Top rated Rice doggy day care sitters

“Mariyana is our go to sitter for our 4 month old puppy! She always takes such great care of her while we are away. Our puppy absolutely loves doing doggy daycare with her.”


“Franco boarded our two dogs for 48 hours while we were in Houston. He was a great host, caring for our pups and administering medicine. We would be glad to board our pups with Franco again when in Houston.”


“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”


“Tommie and Jeffery were amazing! They took great care of our two dogs, Max and Stella and sent plenty of pictures so we knew they were doing okay. I would highly recommend them as your dog sitter!!”


“Stephanie is fantastic! She is so sweet and kind—Lavinia is happy and comfortable when with her. Stephanie sends photos throughout the day and is very easy to communicate with!”


“Steven is the best doggie daycare on the Rover. He is caring, responsive, attentive and understanding. He took special care of my Yorkie and sent me pictures Parson during the day. I can’t wait to use him again and I’ve already referred him to my friends.”


“Adriana was super sweet!! I booked her last minute because I traveled with my dog to Houston but needed to go somewhere where no dogs were allowed. I sent her a message and she immediately responded and I took my dog 20 minutes later. She sent me pictures, took him to a dog park, and was super responsive. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking to care for your baby!🙌🏼”


“Erica has been amazing taking care of my dog, he always leaves happy. She accepted my last minute sitter request, and was super understanding when I had to pick him up an hour late one day. Would definitely reccomend!”



“Ashley is absolutely amazing! This was my dog Eva’s first overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ashley was super easy to communicate and schedule with, and her location is perfect. She took Eva for a walk to get some enrichment in, and her own dog is so sweet—I’m so glad Eva gets a built-in play date while she’s there. I’m already planning to book her regularly. Highly recommend!”


“Jessica was very welcoming and friendly to Brody upon dropping him off as this was his first time with a sitter. She kept me updated often and sent pictures. Brody will definitely be visiting her again in the near future.”


“Lidia was willing to accommodate me and take my cat for a couple hours for some last minute plans. She did an awesome job and i truly appreciate her. She was polite and friendly and my cat was comfortable with her.”


“Alexandra was so sweet and flexible with a very last minute request. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my pup but felt at ease with her care. Would feel more than comfortable to book again! Thank you so much!”


“My first rover experience with Vy and Sean for my new rescue, Ellie. I wanted to establish a relationship so Ellie can find her forever Rover and so glad we came across Vy and Sean! We were able to have a meet and greet at their dog park (huge perk they have an onsite dog park) and Ellie loved her first day care time! Vy and Sean were very communicative, sent great updates, and made Ellie feel at home. She also loved playing with their dog, Hardy. Ellie is usually a little anxious and shy and when I went to go put her in my car, she wanted to turn around and stay! We know we’ll be using Vy and Sean long term, they are great with my rescue and I was so comfortable leaving her with them as she had a bad experience boarding at a kennel. Can’t recommend these guys enough!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups, and I treat every one like family. Friends and clients often call me a “natural” with animals because I’m calm, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving meds, or just offering extra snuggles, I’m all about keeping pets comfortable and happy. I’m also great at picking up on animal body language, which helps me connect with even the shy or anxious ones. Pet parents trust me because I’m dependable and genuinely love what I do your dog will feel right at home with me. I am currently working a part-time job on the weekends, so I am free Monday through Friday for pet sit throughout the day or on-boarding overnight. My apartment offers a fenced dog park and I have two friendly fur babies to keep your pup company. I can also crate your dog if needed.

About: I’m versatile and great with all pets: big dogs, shy cats, even birds. I treat them like my own and I follow any routine needed. I just graduated from high school and will start college this fall. Until then, I’d love to help pet owners find someone they can truly trust. I give pets my full attention—playing with them, feeding them, and making sure they’re comfortable. At my place, there’s a fenced yard if they enjoy being outside, and inside, my cat Ónix is always ready to spend some time with them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age of various breeds, with various needs. I was able to train my dog (rescue German shepherd) to perform several tricks, as well as teach him bite inhibition! We also promise to only take in one family’s pets at a time, so your pet will receive both of our undivided attention and avoid additional stressors being in a new environment! We are students, so we have ample time to take care of your pets! We live in a beautiful area and can take your dogs on walks that are best suited to their needs, and adjust if they are reactive. We also have no other pets, so 100% of our attention will be focused on your animal. Our schedules are pretty flexible, so please feel free to reach out even if you see a day marked unavailable (especially a weekday), and we may be able to make something work! We are also willing to work with unconventional schedules, such as those of a healthcare worker (long shifts, early drop offs, late pick ups, etc.) We also will only take in dogs from one family at a time, so your pet(s) will receive our undivided attention and have minimal stressors during their stay! We have a fenced area for dogs to use the bathroom safely within the property. Our apartment space is very safe and dog friendly. We also promise to respond to all communication with 3 hours during the day, and will provide you with 2 updates with pictures per day as well so you feel comforted knowing your dog is safe and well taken care of! We will go out of our way to make sure your pet can stick to their regular schedule and stay as content as possible without you there! We are excited to welcome your pets into our home :)

Mackenzie & Srisha J.Star Sitter
“Mackenzie and Srisha were amazing when pet-sitting for my two dogs! I've had them pet-sit and walk my dogs multiple times, and I've had great experiences with them every single time. My dogs are also a bit rowdy and difficult to walk, but they seem to have had no issues. I would highly recommend them!”
