This time we forgot to bring her dog food and Echo offered to give her dog food to our dog so we didn't have to drive back home to go get it. So nice! We are grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for our dog. I highly recommend her!”

“Megan and Jeff took such great care of our pup, Kona, from Thursday to Sunday. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and communicative, which made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. They sent regular updates and pictures, so we always knew how Kona was doing. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kona came back happy and well cared for, which says everything. We would absolutely trust Megan and Jeff again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful pet sitters!”

“Nancy & Stan are amazing hosts! There was daily communication and pictures. Their family loved on our fur babies like their own. First time with them, as well as Rover. We would definitely use them again. They went above and beyond. The kids are used to “flavoring” with their meals from us. They did not have to, but they gave them “extras” with their meals. Very clean, smoke free home. Our babies were well cared for and loved. It was wonderful to go on vacation and not have to worry about them. Nancy even washed his belly bands, very thoughtful. When we got home from picking them up, they are happy and well adjusted. No issues at all. Highly recommended.”

“Great home-away-from-home for our Corgi mix. Waffle had two other dogs to play with—one a full Corgi—and a little girl, and he loves children. Brooke was great at accommodating our furbaby’s separation anxiety and our cluelessness on his first time away from us, for a week! Will be back next time we need a pet sitter.”

He bathed him. He sent pictures to let me know he was OK. I will definitely use Jonathan to board Little Man the next time I have to travel.”

About: I am a loving, caring, and compassionate animal lover with experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and farm animals. I understand the importance of providing pets with safe , attentive, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether walking dogs, feeding and caring for household pets, or assisting with the daily needs of farm animals, I am dedicated to ensuring animals feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. My genuine passion for animals, combined with my responsible and dependable nature, makes me a trustworthy caregiver for pets of all kinds. What truly sets me apart in dog care is my ability to provide adaptable, expert attention whether I am hosting your pup at my home, walking them in your neighborhood, or dropping by for a visit. I don't just watch your dog; I seamlessly sync with their unique lifestyle and daily routine. From managing high-energy leash pullers on active walks and patiently comforting an anxious rescue to providing a secure, engaging environment with my own dogs, I bring the exact same level of total dedication to every single service. Because I am home all day and deeply experienced with canine body language, your dog always gets focused supervision, the right balance of structure and play, and absolute physical safety. I bridge the gap between fun and reliability, ensuring your furry family member is happy, tired out, and well-cared for while giving you complete peace of mind through transparent updates. When you board your pet with me, they aren’t just getting a place to sleep—they are getting a loving home away from home where their safety and happiness are the top priorities. I treat every guest like a member of my own family, offering free-roam comfort, personalized attention, and a consistent routine that minimizes any separation anxiety. Whether your pup is a high-energy player who thrives on structured exercise or a gentle soul who prefers quiet couch snuggles, I tailor my environment to fit their specific needs. You will receive frequent photo updates and clear communication throughout their entire stay, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is safe, pampered, and having a five-star vacation of their own. Choosing me means choosing absolute peace of mind, because I work from home and am here to provide supervised, 5-star care all day long in a structured and loving environment. Your pup will enjoy the ultimate backyard vacation in my massive, securely fenced yard, where they can burn off energy and play safely alongside my own friendly dogs for built-in companionship. I prioritize both emotional comfort and physical safety, which is why my home is fully equipped to accommodate your dog’s specific routine—including the ability to comfortably crate them for meals, bedtime, or relaxing downtime if they prefer a quiet, secure space of their own. From constant companionship to tailored safety measures, I ensure your furry family member feels completely secure, happy, and right at home throughout their entire stay.

About: Thank you for your interest! I have had all types of pets, and still do, my whole life. I love being around dogs and cats and they seem to enjoy me too! I love all sizes and breeds of dogs. Currently I’m at home raising my 3 kids. While they’re at school I have time to enjoy being around other people’s pets. I also really enjoy working with pets in different areas such as basic commands and simple tricks. I consider myself a very trustworthy and honest person. I have been an animal lover as long as I could remember and have a great relationship with them. I would love to have the opportunity to get to know and take care of your dog or cat. I’ve been a stay at home mom the last 15 years. Kids are all grown and I have plenty of time to spend with your pet or pets. I have a fenced in property with a couple dogs of my own to play with your pets if you like. Also have dogs friendly house and crate if needed.

About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - McDonald

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in McDonald is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 323 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across McDonald. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

94% of sitters in McDonald can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their McDonald 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 McDonald.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McDonald. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your McDonald 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 TN 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
