“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!”
“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!”
“Elezha did an awesome job with my dog! I have never seen him connect with someone so fast. She kept me updated the whole time & gave him plenty of walks. Will definitely book again for future needs!”
“Amy and Chelsea took care of our dogs like they were their own. They communicated with us daily and sent pictures too. They also provided lots of love and cuddles to our Sammy and even to our Kal (who is very energetic but they were able to calm him down and give him cuddles too!). The dogs got plenty of exercise, love, attention and treats! We will definitely use them again! Thank you for taking care such of our babies.”
“Ashley was so sweet and genuinely loving with my two big dogs! Her yard was perfect for them to run around and play with her dog, and I could tell they felt so much more at ease there than at a regular boarding facility. She has excellent communication and very easy to work with. We can’t wait to board with Ashley and her family again for future trips!”
“Daniela has been our trusted dog sitter for years! We absolutely trust her with our sweet fur baby. He loves her too, whenever we drop off he doesn’t even say bye he goes straight inside with her! Highly recommend her(:”
“Midas loved being with Alexis & Sean! They gave me updates and sent photos of Midas. Not only did they love on him, but made me feel really comfortable with leaving my furry baby for a few days. They were both very sweet and friendly. I will definitely be booking again if I ever need someone to watch Midas. 💜”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience with Andrea’s dog boarding service! My dog really enjoyed the stay. Andrea was very responsive and even accommodated an extra day on short notice, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommended—thank you, Andrea!”
“Lucy ama a Silvia y su familia ellos tratan a Lucy como si fuera de ella. Le den mucho amor y atención. Excelente comunicación estuvimos recibiendo fotos de Lucy y teniendo updates todo el tiempo. This will be Lucy’s always and forever second home going forward.”
“Gracie was amazing. So sweet and very welcoming. She kept us updated every step of the way and sent plenty of picture's and videos just so we can feel comfortable and not so worried cause this was the first time of us ever leaving our dog. But Gracie definitely took the anxiety away. Will definitely be using her again in the future. 😊”

“Shu was amazing with our cat, she took such good care and he really enjoyed the time spent with her. She went way above and beyond, keeping us informed and even checking if he had fleas and applying the treatment. Thank you so much and for sure will come back next time we need a cat sitter!”
“My dog had the best time of his little puppy life here with Kathryn! He ate, slept, and played his little heart out!! ❤️ We will definitely be using Katherine again very soon!! Thank you so very much, Kathryn, you're the BEST!!”
“Susan and her family are amazing, she took the time to get to know us so everyone was comfortable leading into the stay. We are so happy to have found her as she cared for our golden like he was part of her family. The updates were great and we especially liked the report card after. Thanks Susan!”
“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 ❤️🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Houston
Denise was absolutely amazing with our girl, Muffin! We were away for 4 days and 3 nights, and she gave us so much peace of mind. She sent us daily videos and updates, communicated exceptionally well, and it was obvious that Muffin was well cared for and loved while we were gone. Drop-off and pick-up was super easy. Knowing our puppy was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We are so grateful for the wonderful care Denise provided and will definitely be booking with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Houston on Rover is $35 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,797 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
