“Great services, highly knowledgeable, and will send lots of cute pictures of your dog to check in! Highly recommend booking with her, just don’t take all the time slots 😆”
“Amy was so wonderful with our fur baby! Usually when we pick our dog up from sitters, she can’t wait to leave. With Amy, she was very excited to see me, but she didn’t have the same frantic energy to leave that she usually does. It’s so reassuring knowing my baby was cared for and loved on by Amy!”
“Alexander was great! I was nervous leaving my senior dog because he’s become more anxious as he has aged but I felt so comfortable leaving Rudy with him for 2 weeks. I will definitely be rebooking with Alexander anytime we need a sitter!”
“Very responsive and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Sent me pictures and took very good, loving care of my dog for several days! Would definitely recommend and book again.”
About: I have 5+ years of experience caring full time for my own furbaby + friends/family's precious pups! I also have experience with potty training and crate training. You can expect your pup to be treated like my own during their stay with me! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I can be home with your pet throughout the day these days. I also am completely free on weekends :) Depending on your pup's preferences, we might go on some fun nature hikes near our neighborhood or just chill at home and let them enjoy our large fenced backyard! I have a large fenced in backyard, a lovely neighborhood for walks, a dog park nearby, and several hiking trails nearby as well. We have a large doodle named Elvis who will be in the house. He is super friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is also crate trained so if your pup needs some alone time during the day or prefers to sleep alone at night, we can accommodate that.
“Sage is great! She kept me updated and asked questions to make sure Kane was being taken care of in the best way. Kane enjoyed his time with her and her fur babies! Thank you Sage!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I love them so dearly and would love to look after your babies! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, high energy and couch potato’s, as well as senior dogs. Most recently lost my own senior dog to cancer so rest assured I am well versed in caring for our sweet elder babies with medical needs who require a bit more supportive care. I love being around animals and would be happy to help care for yours. I work from home and live with my partner who also loves animals! Outside of work I have availability after 5 pm Mon-Fri and am available most weekends. Caring for pets would depend on each independent pet's needs so I’d be happy to discuss what that looks like :) I also live right next to a beautiful and big park which is perfect for walks!
About: I have extensive experience caring for my pets, providing them with dedicated attention and love throughout their lives. My commitment to their happiness and health reflects my deep passion for animals and my understanding of their individual needs. We are College students. Kenya studies in the morning and works in the afternoon, and Emanuel only studies in the morning and has the whole day off; weekends are free for us. We don't go out much to events like parties; we stay at home a lot. Our place is healthy, good, and small. We live in a quiet area, and no matter what service you choose, we will always provide the same security and peace to all the pets that leave us in charge. In our house, we do not consume any alcohol or illegal substances by our own decision; we do not have noisy neighbors or people who do things like that.
“Darby was amazing! She took great care of George. He was worn out from playing with her dog for a week! I felt at peace knowing she worked from home and had a fenced in yard. She was super responsive and lovely and I would definitely book again.”
“Caitlynn is absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, kept me updated on Sage throughout my trip and sent pictures. didn’t have to worry if she was okay. This is my second booking on Rover. The first time was a nightmare, but I’m glad I gave it another shot. I will definitely be open to booking with Caitlynn again for sure.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and family for over 4 years, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love. I also have experience caring for cats, birds and fishes making sure they feel comfortable and safe with feeding. Pet parents can trust me to treat their pets like family and give them the same care and attention they’re used to at home. I’m a freshman in college! All my classes are online so I have plenty of time on my hands! I currently am not working. I provide pet care directly in my home. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes to keep pets secure, and I give updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My priority is treating your home and pets with the same respect and care as if they were my own.
“I’m so thankful to have found Miranda to care for Archer. I feel very comfortable leaving him with her and have used her business for walking, daycare and overnight boarding.”
“Leaving the country for nine days and what to do with your ninety pound loving chocolate lab who has never been boarded before? Try Ms. Abigail out you will not be sorry. We got a meet and greet several days before the booked stay. Abigail has a large property, one dog and a family with lovely kids who enjoy animals. While away we received pictures and updates of our pet’s boarding experience. Abigail made the drop off and pick up easy and she replied quickly to any communications. Our family recommends Abigail for pet boarding.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Melrose is $25 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $41 per night.

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.
97% of sitters in Melrose 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 Melrose home-away-from-home, 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 Melrose.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Melrose 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 , 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 .
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 FL 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.
