“This was our first time being away from our dog (she was a pandemic puppy) so I was a nervous dog Mom. Lisa was great -- she sent us pictures of Dottie Pepper several times, she was very responsive to texts, and followed our "cheat sheet" of instructions that we provided. Dottie Pepper says "thumbs up" and we have already booked the next stay.”
“Brooke was incredible! We just moved to McKinney recently and needed a dog sitter for a wedding out of state. It was such a relief to know our dog was getting such great care - proven by continuous updates, pictures, and even videos. It was easy to tell Brooke loves dogs and we felt like ours was spoiled the whole weekend.”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care our Teddy Bear received from Shalini! She made him feel right at home, and it was clear he had a wonderful time. Teddy even made new friends during his stay, and we can tell he's already missing them. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Eana was great! Very quick to respond and provided daily updates over the 4 days she provided boarding. She has a very strong understanding of dogs and provided a clean and welcoming place (house is very clean). This allowed me to be at ease over the past 4 days while I was gone. Would highly recommend Eana and will 100% reach out if I do come down to SD again.”
“1st time using Rover and Amanda was very nice and good at communicating. Miles was his normal self after staying a week, which was a good sign. It was the first time Miles was separated from us and his most extensive time around other dogs. I don’t know how much individual attention Miles got since Amanda has 2 dogs and seemed to always have another she was watching as well but as long as Miles wasn’t in the crate a lot I guess I don’t care. And Miles needed the socializing with other dogs so it worked out great. I’m sure it was a lot more than he would’ve gotten at a boarding facility. Miles sure seemed to enjoy being around other dogs and the fenced-in backyard. Amanda made sure to share pics/videos as well. I’d recommend her to any of my friends looking for a dog sitter.”
“Tiffany and her family were amazing. I am new to Texas and my pup is an old lady. She took amazing care of her and helped ease my mind while I was away. Will be rebooking in the near future!”
“Carrington was amazing this was Nala’s first time with a sitter and as nervous as I was in the beginning Carrington made the process very smooth answered all of my questions, gave daily updates, and quick responses.”
“Marie is simply awesome! It's clear that she genuinely cares about your pet. She keeps you posted with pics and texts but does not inundate you. She just gets it! We will gladly reach out to her again for our next trip!!”
“Pinto enjoys each visit more and more. His ears perks up every time I mention Jingyi. You are awesome. We are looking forward to next visit. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“Bertha is my favorite sitter and I’m sad when she isn’t available to watch our new puppy, Bali. Bertha watched our previous dog, Luna and took such great care of her, even when she was in diapers at 16 years old and on 3 medications. Bertha keeps a very clean home and our babies always return happy, healthy and clean.”
“1st rate folks so nice the dogs that Luna stayed with were so nice she spent 6 days there had a wonderful wonderful time came back exhausted which was great. If you need to board your dog I definitely recommend her.”
“Amazing, amazing, amazing. She was so sweet and caring to my puppy and cat. Sent me pics and updates. Can't say enough good things about her. Am definitely going to use her whenever I go on vacation again!”
“Kambriyha and her amazing family were the absolute best!!! They truly love your pet like their own. My pup did not want to leave. Kambriyha made sure to keep me updated on my pup’s incredible adventures every single day. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Linda was absolutely amazing with my dog during the full 9 days I was away. It was the longest I’ve ever been apart from him, but she made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Melissa is $40

Can’t be more grateful to Booke for the services offered. She always went above and beyond proving necessities for my Pet’s stay. Buddy felt so loved that he started missing Brooke. Must say Buddy has found a second home and will certainly be my go to for future. Thanks Brooke for all you did!
**Rachel and her family took amazing care of our puppy and treated her like she was part of their family. They even took the time to work with her on leash walking, which we really appreciated. We received updates throughout her stay, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you again for everything! We would 100% book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.**
Kerry and Michael were incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Galleta. She came home happy and relaxed, and they constantly shared photos and updates, which gave us a lot of tranquility while we were away. Thank you both for being such excellent hosts , we truly appreciate it.
Sagun was great and Max had a great time during his stay. This was my first time leaving Max and Sagun made it so much easier. She kept me well informed and sent photos of how he was doing. This was a trial run for out family vacation at the end of the month and I feel so much better now leaving him since I know he will be in great hands and well cared for. Thanks Sagun!!
We used Jay & Caitlin again recently for a last minute family emergency, and they were amazing. They responded quickly and were incredibly accommodating on short notice, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a stressful time. Just like before, communication was great, and they kept us updated with messages and photos. It’s such a relief knowing we have people we can trust when unexpected situations come up. We’re so grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, caring sitters!
We had an excellent experience with Tyra while she cared for our dog, Kona, for a two-week stay. Kona was incredibly well taken care of and clearly had a blast with Tyra and her family—it truly felt like a home away from home. Tyra’s communication was consistent and thoughtful throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and attentive in adjusting to Kona’s schedule and needs, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience and will absolutely be booking with Tyra again. Highly recommend!
This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier! My dog Kimmy was so well taken care of. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I was a little nervous at first since I’d never tried the service before, but Kirizma made the whole experience easy and stress free. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care and will definitely be using her again!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Melissa on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,555 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Melissa. About 93% of Melissa 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.

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.

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.
