“Amazing Bertha and her family! They treated our baby as their own and received many pictures and videos during his stay. My baby was so happy there playing with Chess and had a great time. We were so comfortable and enjoyed our trip thinking that my baby was also in a vacation with a wonderful family. They followed all his special needs about his food, greeted him with a smile and provided utmost care. Chess is a very cute, friendly and a handsome boy along with kids in the family. We are so happy that we finally found a family more than anyone can wish for. As long as Bertha can offer the care, we will not look for another. Thank you so much for being there for us!!! Will see you soon.”
“Salene was amazing! I requested her to board my dog in March 2025 and she responded quickly! She asked questions and put me at ease. Drop off was easy and she sent me videos and photos of my dog Dash throughout his stay. My dog got along with her dog Teddy and I could tell he was comfortable in her home. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Ruth gave excellent care to our 13 year old fur baby, Beasley. We were gone for 2-1/2 weeks. We received daily reports and photos and felt confident that Beasley was getting the best of care. Even during a series of thunderstorms, Ruth took great care to make Beasley feel safe. We highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you Ruth!!”
“Jennifer was AMAZING and looked after our dogs beautifully. Got pictures and updates. Pups came home v tired and happy with a brand new toy each from Jennifer. Five star boarding and will definitely use again when we’re near Plano! Thank you! 💕🐾”
“Andrew took great care of Teddy for four nights.He kept us updated with photos and videos on his stay.Teddy loved their dogs and big backyard. We will definitely use his service again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jingyi! She took excellent care of my Goldendoodle, Ralph, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received multiple photo updates every day, which made it so easy to see that Ralph was happy, relaxed, and having a great time.”
“Hattie’s stay with Tiffany was a great experience! We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure she was a good match for their home. Communication was a breeze and Tiffany sent daily notes at our request to see how everything was going and how Hattie was settling in. We had peace of mind knowing she was in great care over the holidays while we were away.”
“Jennifer is wonderful! She took on our dog without a meet and greet (which I thought wouldn’t be good for our dog) but, Jennifer was so good with him, there weren’t any problems and he did great with her caring for him.”
“Lindsey and her family were a terrific host. For a 2 week stay for my dog I couldn’t have asked for a better situation. She took great care of Ozzy and was always quick to respond. Will definitely have Oz stay again and I very much recommend her.”
“I recently moved to McKinney and found Stephanie on Rover. She is one big dog lover and was so great with my Luna girl. Definitely recommend her to dog sit your fur baby.”
“Kathryn was great! I can tell her and her family have lots of experience caring for pups. The whole process from the meet & greet to pickup was very smooth and organized. Most importantly, my boy was well taken care of!”
“Our dog is as needy as they come and we needed to find someone to care for him and give him a ton of love! Erin & Gary were so kind and sent us a ton of pictures to make sure we knew our dog was doing well. Highly recommend them!”
“Elaine and Steve were absolutely wonderful to my pooch. They are very kind and welcoming. I had no worries at all leaving my pooch in their care. Elaine kept in touch with plenty of pics and prompt replies. I definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.”
“Katie and family has taken great personal care of our pet. Regularly kept updated us on how he is doing. our pet felt like home away from home. Thank you so much for everything, Katie and family.”

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.
Maria and her family were amazing with our 10 month old pup! They asked about what training she’s working on and practiced with her, they watched her closely to kept her out of trouble, and made sure she got her energy out and had fun. Maria kept me updated and sent pictures daily. We’re very thankful for their great care and attention.
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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,558 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.

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.
