“Susan took great care of our Quinn. Quinn has separation anxiety so couldn't be left alone while we attended an evening event. It worked out perfectly to drop her off for a few hours with Susan and her family. So nice to be able to enjoy the evening worry-free!”


“Tiffany is awesome! We are repeat customers and would recommend Tiffany to anyone! She is very responsive and sends pics of your pets throughout their stay. We know she gives our 2 dogs (Weimaraner & Golden) lots of love and attention putting our minds at ease when we have to be away.”
“They did a fantastic job watching over our elderly pug. We got daily pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind. We appreciate the service and would definitely book again!”

“Beautiful fenced yard. Kids and family dog to play with. Perfect for our Houston Space Center outing. We will definitely use Ashley again if we’re ever in the area :)”

“My dog had his first visit with Stephanie and it was great. Stephanie sends pictures without being prompted. She explained everything to me as a first timer and my dog really enjoyed being loved on by Stephanie. I will rebook.”


“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We were having some home renovations done and I didn’t like the idea of boarding as one of my dogs has a lot of anxiety. I felt at ease booking with Grace since she’s worked with animals before and said she would make a quiet space for my anxious one if needed, she also has great reviews. She was very feiendly, responsive to messages, sent updates with pics, and was flexible when I needed to add an additional day on. The dogs didn’t want to leave after the third day because they had so much fun playing with her Corgi Poppy; they came home exhausted! I’ll definitely use Grace’s services again when needed.”

“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!”

About: 🐾 Trusted, Experienced & Treating Every Pet Like Family 🐾 Hi, I'm Brianna! As a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of hands-on pet care experience, I know every pet deserves patience, love, and personalized attention. Whether your furry family member needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone they can trust while you're away, I'm here to give you complete peace of mind. I'm experienced caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including administering oral and topical medications when needed. As a pet parent to two dogs and one cat, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets the same way you do. When your pet is with me, they'll receive: 🐶 Plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection 💊 Safe and reliable medication administration 📸 Photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away ❤️ One-on-one attention tailored to their unique personality and routine ⭐ Dependable, professional care you can count on I believe every walk should be an adventure and every visit should leave your pet happy, comfortable, and excited to see me again. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 Pet care isn't just part of my routine—it's my full-time career and passion. Because I provide pet care full time, I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. My days are dedicated to giving pets the attention, exercise, love, and consistency they deserve. This also allows me to provide personalized care, stick to your pet's routine, and send regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 🐾 I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups for your dog to play with. I also have plenty of space to separate my pups if your pups do better with space.
“Idalia was wonderful with Elsie! She was very attentive and made sure Elsie felt comfortable and at home throughout the day. Elsie and Cloud got along really well, and she came home happy and ready to play, which was a great sign that she had a fun day! Idalia also kept us updated throughout the day with photos and details about what they were doing. We really appreciated how caring and thoughtful she was with Elsie. We would definitely trust her with Elsie again!”

About: Hi! My name is Sonia and I love animals. I have been pet sitting for the past 20 years and I cannot live without pets. I go on 3 mile walks or runs every day with Knox and I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’ve lost two dogs to cancer and heart disease so I am familiar with giving medication and taking care of elderly pets. I have owned and fostered all types of breeds and ages. Knox is friendly with dogs and cats and loves everyone, he wants to be around the attention all day. I have occasional errands and meet-ups with friends, but otherwise, I will be at home. I also have experience with cats since I owned two for their entire lives! For clients who are looking for someone to stay in their home, I am more than happy to accommodate my services in your own home but I just want to let you know that I am working for about 6-7 hours a day, so I will not be at your home all day. I’ve tried this option in the past and have actually found that dogs are much less anxious staying in a place they are familiar with :) I always question if the dog has any separation anxiety. I've dealt with plenty of dogs that experience separation anxiety and I have learned many tricks on how to help ease them into the stay and to feel more comfortable. But having the heads up helps that much more! I don't really have any breed preferences, just that they are friendly! Knox would stay at home unless it is okay to bring him over now and then or you'd prefer if they were to stay with us in your home. It's all up to you and your preference for your pup :) I am working remotely during the day, but I am constantly checking up on the fur babies and taking breaks to play and love on them. My job is very flexible. In my home or yours, I will be following all instructions given by the owner and giving all the attention I can to your pet. I will be working M-F, but my hours are very flexible. Otherwise, I will be around your pet at all times unless I have errands to run.
“Luna had a great time playing at Sarah's. I really enjoyed reading the notes at the end of each day where Sarah told me about all the fun things that Luna got to do and new friends she was making. Will definitely book again.”

About: Well, I taught my golden doodle how to ring the bell to go potty, that’s pretty cool! I also have four kiddos at home so your fur baby is guaranteed to have a great time! I am a stay at home mom 😊 I will be readily available to care for your pet around the clock! I am here to help! My fur babies are spoiled and loved 🥰 They love to have play dates with their fur cousins and are very friendly towards other animals!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Houston on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 2,037 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across South Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your South Houston commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,037 sitters in South Houston, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
