“I was so nervous using Rover, but Lisa and David were amazing! My dog and I had the best experience! I loved getting photos, videos, and updates during his stay. He came home tired each day. They're yard is HUGE! Perfect for my energetic 1 year old husky mix! He got all the love and attention he needed throughout the day. I highly recommend booking with Lisa and David. I'll be using their service again very soon.”

“Keyuana is a dream come true! Our beagle puppy, Cole, needed to spend the day due to a day of appointments. Keyuana took fabulous care of him! Her home and yard were immaculate, and she sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. Knowing she also will board is a relief when we plan our next vacation!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since childhood on a farm and in home. I love spending time caring for and spending time outside with them. I am a stay at home mom that likes to stay busy. I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. We part time home school so by hiring us, my kiddos get the experience of working along side me to care for and love your fur babies as a business experience. We have a fully fenced back yard with a doggy door into the backyard. We are an animal friendly home with cats and a bearded dragon. We also are a kid friendly home with three kids under the age of 9.

About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, beginning with my own Labrador Retriever and Miniature Schnauzer from their puppy years through their senior years. I have also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including administering medications such as pills and oral syringes. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they are with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I also love taking photos and will send regular updates so you can enjoy seeing your pup having fun while you are away. I am home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Dogs staying with me are rarely left alone for more than about an hour. I live right next to a walking trail, making it easy to provide walks that fit your dog's needs. Whether they enjoy a quick potty walk or a longer adventure, I am happy to adjust based on their energy level and routine. Your dog's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. My backyard also has a pool, but all outdoor time is supervised so your dog's safety always comes first. I always keep dogs on a leash whenever we are outside of a securely fenced area. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any training they are working on. I have experience administering medications, caring for multiple dogs, and I know how to perform dog CPR in the event of an emergency. My home is calm, clean, and pet free, allowing your dog to settle in comfortably while receiving plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and affection throughout their stay.

About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
About: I have owned dogs the past 30 years! (And a cat as a child). I am dependable, responsible and caring. You can be assured your pet is in good hands.

I have a fenced yard that our Cavapoo has free access to. Our children love animals! When I’m in your home I will take care of it as if it were mine.

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 Melissa 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 1,811 sitters in Melissa, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
