“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. 😊”
“Ana was amazing with Toby! She was so sweet and communicated with us the whole time, which really gave us peace of mind. I especially appreciated the videos she sent of Toby running around the yard, it made our day. We’re definitely coming back to her whenever we’re in the Houston area. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie was wonderful with my old girl! Super friendly, communicative, and clearly knows and loves dogs. She kept me updated with lots of wonderful photos and let me know how my pup was doing. This was my first time using a pet sitter on Rover and she made the entire experience great for both myself and Winnie! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Do not hesitate to book with Rhianna! She is so sweet and took great care of my Dog! I would certainly book with her again!! I had an extremely early drop off time and while she could have easily turned me down or recommended another time, she was very accommodating and still allowed me to drop off before the sun came up! I thought that was very kind of her! Thank you again 🤍. This was my first time allowing my dog to stay at someone else’s place due to her social anxiety when it comes to people/other animals at times, but Rhianna welcomed her with open arms during the meet and greet and during her stay! When I picked her up she didn’t appear to be in distress or at any point during the photo/video updates. At first I didn’t feel I was getting enough photos during the stay so I brought it to her attention and she began to send more and/or provided a verbal update moving forward with no issue! Thank you so much, you’re the best 🦋”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Roux with Alexis. Communication was always prompt. Plenty of pictures and updates were provided. I would 100% let Roux stay with Alexis again.”
“I left Chewie with Emily for about a week and he had a great time! Emily provided daily photo and video updates and was very mindful and accommodating of Chewie’s food allergies and administering his ear medication. It was a great boarding experience for Chewie and myself and I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for pet care.”
“I can’t recommend Mariah enough for her exceptional pet-sitting services! She took incredible care of my baby dog, Hugo, and I could instantly tell from the updates and photos she sent that he was in great hands. Mariah went above and beyond to ensure Hugo felt comfortable, loved, and well-cared for in my absence. Not only did she follow all my instructions to the letter, but she also provided Hugo with extra playtime, attention, and making sure he was happy and content the entire time. It’s clear she has a natural affinity for animals and a genuine passion for their well-being. I came home to a happy and relaxed pup, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet-sitter, Mariah is absolutely the one to choose!”
“Elena was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and communicated to us throughout each day with updates. We definitely will use her services again! Highly recommend!”
“Ewere was very accommodating during the ice storm in Houston. I work for a medical hospital and wasn’t able to leave for 36hrs after I got back from my travels. She ensured me that it would not be a problem for her to watch Mariah until I was able to leave. I was originally suppose to pick her up Sunday @ 12pm but wasn’t able to until Wednesday around 8pm, and Ewere was able to accommodate me while also still being professional and communicative.”
“Martine and Martin took such wonderful care of our sweet Gracie for 11 days. They were very caring and knew we wanted our girl to be cared and treated with the same love we gave her. Even Martin’s sweet mother who was visiting gave our girl sweet cuddles. I would never hesitate using Martine again.”
“This was our first time booking Randy and he was absolutely awesome! From the start of the booking process; he responded quickly, during boarding he sent pictures and updates on how Nova was doing, and pickup was a breeze. We’ve already booked a second stay. We are very appreciative for his care.”
“She’s amazing and super flexible with my unexpected travel plan changes, which has been such a relief. My dog absolutely loves spending time with her, and he has even built a sweet bond with her son. He will also remember her by the homemade cookies she baked as a sweet little goodbye treat. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“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!”

There are 2,877 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Houston. About 92% of South Houston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
