“My husband and I jokingly call her "aunt Tonya" because she provides such kindness and care for our fur babies, and we trust her 100% with our pet needs. Thanks for everything!”
“Elezah was great! Our babies were well taken care of and seemed really happy in the pictures she sent us. I am additionally grateful for her care of my elderly dog, Pepper, who needs meds and gentle care. I will use her service again in the future and recommend her highly.”
“Veronica has watched my Frenchie twice now, she is so great, plenty of updates, lets you know how your pup is doing along with pictures and videos. She’s been flexible with me on time and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Desiree was great! She was super flexible with pick up/drop off, especially last minute for a holiday weekend. She was extremely responsive and my pup was tuckered out when I picked him up - I can tell he enjoyed his weekend away! Thank you Desiree!”
“Cardi LOVES Amy and Chelsea. They had a meet and greet with my sister prior to the stay but during drop off, seeing her so excited to see them gave me the peace of mind I needed and knew with no doubt that she was in great hands. Definitely booking again 🫶🏼”
“It all went very smoothly, and great communication. Although I didn't need it, he does offer drop-off/pick-up as well! They came back (ready to be home, obviously), cared for and exhausted after playing with his pup for a few days! I will use him again!”
About: Hello my name is Keianna, I’m 24 . I’ve taken care of animals for years for family and friends who were on vacation and I’d like to continue doing it because it’s fun and great to connect with animals. I would enjoy taking your pet out to the park to play I do have my own car so transportation won’t be a problem in case they need to visit their vet. My house is pretty spacious, the backyard is fenced and there’s lots of room for play. I will do whatever I can to make your pet feel safe and happy in the time we spend together I believe spending time with animals can be such a beautiful and healing experience. I have open availability and can care for your pets any day of the week unless otherwise noted on my calendar. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and personalized care throughout the day based on your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment and always follow your instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding schedules, behavior, and any special needs, and I keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in great hands.
“Amy is the best! She watched our dog Libby while we were on vacation, and because Libby had never been boarded before, we were worried that she would be anxious and be hard to take care of. Amy made her feel so comfortable, and she ensured that Libby was not only safe, but also entertained. Amy went above and beyond every step of the way (playing with her, giving her baths, etc.) and sent frequent updates with pictures, giving us peace of mind that Libby was enjoying her time. Thank you so much Amy! You will absolutely be seeing more of Libby in the future!”
“Ashley was the best! I felt like my Otis was loved and well taken care of. He looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! She is my go to dog sitter from now on.”
“Christy was wonderful with our dog! She sent regular updates and pictures and kept us informed about how she was doing. We will definitely be booking with Christy again!”
“Our babies always love staying with Alexis and Sean! We get there and we’re usually forgotten about lol They are great with providing updates and they come home wiped 😂 We’re going to miss having them as our sitters!”
“Susan did such a great job! I loved all the pictures that she sent and all the updates. I felt like the dogs had a wonderful time and they were well taken care of and loved on.”
“Sarah is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She went above and beyond to take care of Seal on such short notice, and I truly appreciate her responsiveness and dedication. Seal was happy and well cared for, which gave me peace of mind. I also enjoy when she sends pictures of Seal. ☺️ Thank you, Sarah, you’re a lifesaver!”
“Destinee is the best pet sister I ever met! She had been taking care my dog with all her heart!! Very good communication to me when I was away from home!! I highly recommended to someone who need a best care for their dogs!”
“Gracie did an amazing job with our energetic pup! She was very attentive, kind, communicative and sent pictures and video throughout the day. She even gave Pearl special homemade treats after making sure she could have them! Pearl had a great time and she was given the best possible care. She’s already looking forward to her next visit!”
“We will definitely book with Andrea & her family whenever we need someone to watch our baby. Chewbacca was so well taken care of that we were able to fully enjoy our trips. She sent updates periodically which we happily received. We reccomend her to everyone.”
“My wife and I cannot say enough good things about our experience boarding our dog, Elton, with Remy. We had a weeklong trip out of state that we waited way too long to find accommodations for Elton for. Our previous sitter, who we had used for several trips, moved out of state so we were back to square one. I contacted several promising sitters on Rover, but unfortunately they were all either booked or unavailable for the timeframe we needed. I came across Remy's profile and contacted her, and she was very accommodating in setting up a last minute (several days before trip) meet and greet with our dog and hers to make sure they got along. Our boy is sweet and loving, but he has had some reactivity issues with other dogs sometimes and we were of course concerned he would not get along with Remy's pups. Well, he didn't, at least immediately. To be clear, the issue was NOT AT ALL due to Remy's pups, it was our Elton who was being less than polite (not necessarily aggressive, but definitely stand-offish). We were a bit dismayed thinking that it would not work out...but Remy was not phased. She told us to go ahead and book, which, without any other options, we did. We dropped Elton off at Remy's place a few days later, fully expecting that we'd soon receive a message from Remy saying she had to get our emergency contact to pick Elton up because he was just not getting along with the other dogs. That was not the case at all. It took a day or two, but Remy (and her pups!) worked with Elton to get him comfortable on his own time and in short order he had joined the pack! We got photos and videos regularly of Elton playing and running and just having an absolute blast. To summarize, here are some things we LOVE about Remy: - She clearly knows what she is doing. This isn't some kind of hobby for her, she is very professional and this is clearly a labor of love for her and a reflection of the deep-seated passion she has for animals. Some people would be put off on boarding a dog that didn't immediately conform to "good dog" behavioral standards; Remy's experience, dedication, and patience allowed our Elton to get comfortable and warm up to her pups on his schedule. - She kept us updated. We received regular texts with pics and videos of Elton playing, lounging, cuddling, etc. It gave us a TON of piece of mind. - She doesn't just "board" your dog, she makes them part of the family. We never got the impression that Elton was just another dog she was sitting, he might as well have been her own dog with the way she treated him. It was clear from the pictures and videos and seeing how he behaved with her that he felt loved and safe in their home. I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the point. Remy truly is THE BEST. She is at the very TOP of the list for Elton whenever we go out of town (and we'll definitely have to arrange some playdates so he can see his new friends!); my only reservation in leaving this glowing review is that it may increase the odds she is booked up when we need her! :) TL;DR: Don't hesitate to book with Remy. You and your pooch will be thankful you did.”
“Silvia took great care of Shifu while we were out of town. As pet parents, we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Silvia went above and beyond, paying attention to Shifu's needs. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We loved all the pictures she sent of Shifu; they were lovely and comforting. It was clear to see that our dog was very much at home and relaxed in Silvia's care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Houston
From the initial meet-and-greet, Tonya was wonderful. We had a great conversation, and as a first-time puppy mom, she gave me helpful tips and suggestions that immediately put me at ease. Nova completed a 6-hour trial with Tonya and her dog, Opie, and it was Nova's first time socializing away from me. Throughout the day, Tonya kept me updated on how Nova was adjusting, interacting, and behaving, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving Nova in Tonya's care and could tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy pet sitter.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of South Houston sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which South Houston landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South 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 South 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.
You and your South 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.
