“Carmelo did great with my 3 dogs! He sent pictures and followed all the directions that were left with him. When i got back from my vacation and picked my dogs up, they were happy and I could tell they had a good time while I was gone.”
“Shelley was incredible! Words can’t express how thankful we are for her this weekend! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our baby while we were away. We also had some unforeseen hiccups on our way home and she was incredibly understanding and flexible with us. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would…Definitely will be using her again!”
“Hector did a great job with my dog! Well taken care of and had great communication. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. I was out of town and my flight got delayed and Hector was very understanding and kept my dog an extra day free of charge. I will definitely bring my dog back.”
“Thank you Susan for your special care and boarding our Burley during our short vacation trip. Burley enjoyed staying with you and came home very happy and playful.”

She takes great care of them and includes them in all of the activities and good treats the other dogs receive. I can't wait to use her again!!”

“Zoraya took great care of puzzle and communicated very well, she sent pictures & updates daily throughout my trip! I would definitely recommend her and we hope to book again with her soon.”
“Lorraine was amazing! From initial communication, to meet and greet, to the actual stay she was wonderful! Our two Aussies had a 5 night stay. One of our dogs was a new rescue addition to our family. Lorraine was so helpful when Daisy was having some food issues and went above and beyond - not only while the dogs were with her - but also in using her experience and expertise to offer me help with ideas and solutions when we picked up our doggos. She sent pictures and sweet updates while we were away which was great! We would definitely be grateful if she was available the next time we have to be away. Definite recommend!”
“Leaving Zoe with Michael was great. From the moment we dropped her off until we picked her up it was clear she was in a great place. Michael immediately greeted Zoe and got to know her before I left and then sent an update and picture later to let me know she was settled in and doing well. We will use Michael again in the future.”
“We had a very pleasant experience with Kimberly, she cared for Pooch while we were away and was very quick to respond whenever I asked her about my Pooch. Highly recommend and will be staying with her again!”
“I have a very hyper yorkie and the only thing she wanted to do when she got home, is nap which was perfect for me. Synamon let me know all about her stay as well as some very helpful advice. I will definitely book with them again.”
“Jenni, Thank you so much for caring for our 2 dogs like they were family. We will definitely continue to use you. We loved the pictures and videos of the dogs. Thanks again see you in November! Kim”
“It was a great overall experience. Ximena met with myself and Remi at a local park so that he could get used to being around her. She was really communicative leading up to the stay and sent a ton of photos/videos throughout. Remi came home tired, but very happy! Will definitely be using Ximena again.”
“Jennifer really helped me on last minute notice. I was lucky that she was able to take care of our dog. She did a great job and provided timely updates during his stay.”
“Caitlin’s home was a wonderful place for our dog, Hazel, to stay while we were away! She has an amazing backyard and the home feels very safe and loving for dogs. Caitlin was accommodating of our schedule for dropoff and pickups and sent periodic updates and pictures of our senior pup that put our minds at ease. We feel lucky to have found such a great dogsitter in the area!”
“Randy is a great communicator, he sent daily updates about our dog while we were on vacation for a week. We love the fact that he has his own dogs, they kept our dog well exercised and entertained. They all got along well. We will definitely book again!”

Pet 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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in South Houston on Rover is $34.33 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,856 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Houston. About 91% of South Houston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
