“Melissa was SO great!!! She was so kind and helpful to me and so loving on our dogs - She gave me updates every day with pictures of my dogs and I didn’t have to ask for anything! The best part was she let them sleep wherever in her own house, that was just so accommodating and nice, you don’t always get that level of care and accommodation from other dog sitters! (My dogs are not fans of crates). Highly recommend her and her family. She even gave my dogs her own cheese to give my dog her pill bc I forgot cheese to give her! Amazing and easy experience. I will 100% be using her again!!”
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”
“Derek & Kristina were amazing. They were very warm and just overall nice people. My dog seemed like he had an amazing time there and they were able to accommodate what I needed at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use them many more times.”
“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.”
“Andrew and his family took care of our three dogs for a ~10-day period. They were very friendly when we met them to see if our dogs would get along, and took care of them well during the stay. They have three dogs of their own and all six dogs got along just fine. There's a lot of land at Andrew's place (it's a rural setting, with over an acre of fenced-in land I think) and the dogs can run freely. There's even a pool if they want to swim! We had to change our return date twice due to circumstances outside our control, and each time Andrew updated the booking accordingly. Recommended!! I'd highly recommend them if you want your dogs”
“Fantastic!! I received pictures and updates daily and she was able to help me out when my flight was delayed. I even received an adorable Christmas picture magnet of my fur baby. Thank you again!”
“So happy our dog was in Hannah’s care. She was so sweet and communicated very well. My dog seemed to love her time there and was very well taken care of. We will be using her again. Highly recommend.”
“Salene and her husband did so well with my baby. Salene responded quickly, sent pictures, and kept me updated. Very professional. She has the sweetest dogs and big backyard. My dog is not comfortable around many people but he felt right at home. I will for sure use Salene again. We have found our new babysitter!!”
“Bear had a great time with Judith and Riley! When I wasn't able to make it back to town, Judith was so accommodating with letting him stay an extra night. Her dog Riley is so sweet and playful. Will definitely be returning!”
“Yulia was amazing with our Bluebonnet, who had just been spayed. We had a long track meet to coach and Yulia took amazing care of her with a cone on, recovery suit, pill administration, and all the special needs that come along with surgery. She sent pictures and updates and worked with her so well at the beginning when she was nervous and unsure. We’re very thankful for her care and attention to detail!”
“Lisa and David were wonderful! They were able to accommodate us on very short notice when we needed boarding for an out-of-state trip, which was a huge relief. They took excellent care of our kitten and provided daily updates and photos, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about our pet’s well-being. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“My husband and I were absolutely thrilled to find Julie and John! They have turned out to be the best dog sitters we have ever experienced. Our lulu stayed with Julie and John during the Thanksgiving holiday. We were gone for 8 days so they would keep in touch often with photos and information on how lulu was doing. In some of the photos, I could literally see a smile on lulu's face. We felt so at ease while out of town knowing lulu was with such caring and responsible dog lovers. lulu had the freedom to roam the fenced backyard, play with all the other dogs/guests and sleep on a cozy dog bed when she needed to rest. She actually even slept in their bed at night! They even made a special, dog-friendly meal for her at Thanksgiving and sent her home with nutritious homemade snacks. I could tell lulu felt right at home and was having the time of her life. It has convinced us to get a sibling for lulu after seeing all the fun she had playing with the other dogs. And now that we have such great dog sitters, we feel confident we can get another dog. We have already booked our Christmas trip so lulu will be staying with them 11 days. That is how much we trust them with our pet. It's so nice to not feel guilty when you have to leave your pet behind. I'm actually excited for lulu to go back and enjoy herself too. I could go on and on about Julie and John and their hospitality. I really can't say enough about the experience. I highly recommend them and will be using them time and time again to take care of lulu and her future sibling. Thanks, Seth and Missy R.”
“Julie and Natalie boarded our corgi, Roux for a several days while we were on vacation. We had a great experience! We received updates and Roux seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. We will definitely reach out again for any boarding needs!”
“Sir Charles really enjoyed himself! I appreciate Andrea sending me pictures of my pup while I was out of town. I can tell that he was played with and cuddled just like we do at home. She even reached out about a potential alternate feeding schedule based on her observations with him. I will definitely leave Sir Charles with her again.”
“Our pom had a great time with Juan and his family! Juan sent regular updates and photos of him throughout his stay. Their dogs and cat played with him, his kids gave him lots of cuddles, and Juan/his wife had a new WFH coworker. :)”
“Keyuana was absolutely WONDERFUL taking care of our Molly. She loved her as her own! Such a bright and pleasant young woman…truly a joy. Trust her with your pet- you will be so glad!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Alstyne
Vanessa and Enzo were SO good with my nervous girl, Luna. They took plenty of time to explain their process and how they make sure the environment is safe and relaxed for any of the dogs in their home. Their dog, Dolce is also a sweetheart who was eager to make a new friend, while also being very patient and understanding towards my hesitant dog. I booked daycare with them this time to get Luna accustomed to the new environment before an upcoming trip - and I’m looking forward to using their services again soon for the full boarding experience.
Derek and Christina were awesome. They were very accommodating even with last second request.v they were very responsive to communications and had a great rate for boarding services. They were also proactive in providing pictures and stays throughout the stay. Overall we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend. They made it cheap and easy. Looking forward to use for future boarding needs.
Christian has been an excellent pet caretaker. I left my red heeler with him for a week and I see it in my dog’s face. He was happy to be there and the treatment as to my dog and me is second to none. Will trust him again with all three of my pets that I have I do recommend his services. Excellent person.

As of September 2026, there are 1,621 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Van Alstyne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Van Alstyne sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Van Alstyne landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Van Alstyne 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 Van Alstyne.
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.
You and your Van Alstyne 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 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.
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.
