Houston's urban sprawl and extreme weather create unique challenges for dog owners across America's fourth-largest city. With temperatures exceeding 90°F for over 100 days annually and humidity that makes exercise dangerous, traditional dog parks become unusable for months. The Heights and Montrose neighborhoods are packed with young professionals in high-rise apartments, while popular spots like Market Square Park and Levy Park overflow on weekends. Houston's 58% rental rate means most of the city's 2.3 million residents lack private outdoor space, yet spend over $2,100 annually on their pets. When thunderstorms and flooding regularly close outdoor facilities, and aggressive dogs make public parks stressful, pet parents need reliable alternatives. Rome delivers vetted private yards across Houston's diverse neighborhoods—from River Oaks to EaDo—providing climate-controlled exercise solutions when public options fail.
