“Hands down the best care for your fur babies! Rey would constantly send updates and photos which definitely helped keep me at ease about Stella. She was in great hands the whole time. She had her own bedroom and a huge yard to play in! Thank you all so much!!”
“Sandra was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about dog care and wellness. She was great as far as keeping us updated on pancake’s care. We were sent pictures, videos, and texts. She really did give pancake so much love and care while in her care. It gave us so much of peace of mind knowing that pancake was in good hands. My husband and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Sandra and her mom to anyone looking for pet care. Thank you so much again for the love and care you showed pancake.”
“Bruna was so friendly since the moment I requested boarding servies. Communication was great and I trusted her completely with my dog and kitty ! Thank you so much again for taking care of my babies 🤗 Hope to book again in the future ✨️”
“Wow! I was so anxious to leave our very spoiled 5 month old kitten Flash Gordon for the first time but he couldn’t have had a more loving home to spend the weekend with. Erika, thank you for not making me feel like an overprotective parent and having the video chat to show me where Flash would be staying. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond so quickly. The best part was seeing my baby 3 times a day and hearing about his adventures with you all! Thank You Thank You for everything! You’re officially Aunt Erica and Flash will be visiting you soon!”
“Amanda is always so amazing with my shy girl! She sends pics and updates, which I greatly appreciate!! In all the pics, my usually nervous Darbi is always smiling and at ease which really shows how much care and consideration Amanda has for the pets she cares for :)”
“Nancy was hands down the BEST dog sitter we have had. I was beyond impressed with how well Maverick was cared for. She sent several updates throughout the day and was amazing at communicating. Maverick was so spoiled and came home so happy. We will 100% be using Nancy again, I cannot recommend her enough!”
“They were absolutely the sweetest! I had a last-minute emergency, and they went out of their way to pick up my puppy and take such great care of her all day. Their communication was amazing—they sent me updates and pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Coco is usually very anxious, but when I picked her up, she was calm and happy, which says everything. I truly felt like she was in such loving hands. Thank you for everything you do!”
“She was the best sitter we’ve ever had. She kept in contact with us everyday and updated the entire time we were gone. I will defiantly recommend her and will continue to request her to be our sitter. Best ever!”
“Melissa was amazing! Luka had such a great time and even made a new friend. 🤍 He was definitely in the best care, and we would absolutely choose Melissa again. She had excellent communication throughout the stay and kept us updated with pictures and messages about our puppy. Melissa even taught Luka a few new tricks! ☺️”
About: I have a passion for all animals. I am an educator by profession for over 22 years and have cared and owned pets all my life ( dogs ,cats, pigs, cows and horses). I am a semi professional marathon runner and believe not only people but animals benefit from a daily exercise regimen! I am dependable, trustworthy, and loyal. I strongly believe in the welfare of all animals. I will walk or run your dog but due to extreme South Texas summer weather, I will only do it very early morning or evening when its cooler. I will do drop in visits daily as needed. I will send you pictures and videos our your furbabies while you are away. My dedication and compassion for animals set me apart from the rest!
“I can't say enough good things about Rick. He was fantastic with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter and we were nervous to say the least. Shorty is up there in age and can be a handful. Rick made him feel comfortable and safe. The updates and photos really gave us a piece of mind. We came home to a happy relaxed dog. We highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: hi! wonderful to meet :) my name is Samantha! i was practically born and raised an animal lover hah! i love pets and animals of all sizes, ages, and breeds! though i am new to Rover, i am highly experienced as a pet sitter, dog walker, pet companion, etc. service is my natural habitat, so, any special requests are easily accommodated by me. feel free to reach out to me about your pet service requests and see if we are a great match! love & light -Samantha i have a very flexible schedule for pet sitting, pet walking, pet care of all kinds. i welcome drop-in visits, and pets are welcome to stay as long as they are comfortable and well mannered. i can schedule last minute commitments, along with commitments in advance. in my home, my preference is for the pet care to mimic whatever the pet(s) are used to at home. the owner is the parent and they set the tone, i like to follow suit and be sure to keep the pets in their usual routines as much as we can.
“Our experience with Bianca was amazing. I knew from day one Luna was in good hands with her. She kept us in the know and sent pictures. Luna had a great time and was well cared for given lots of love and attention. Communication with Bianca was smooth and prompt always. We had last minute changes to our booking and she worked with us to extend Luna an extra day. If I have to leave our sweet girl again somewhere Bianca will be the first in my list to contact! I recommend her over and over again.”
“Yolanda was great!! I really appreciated her taking my boy in last minute. The sitter I had originally booked didn’t answer my calls or messages the morning of drop off. So I reached out to Yolanda and I was able to drop off my pup within the hour. She was really a life saver.”
“Wow, great positive environment and you can tell that Juan loves his house guests! He does such a good job loving on them and communicating how they are doing to their families. I've never been more satisfied. Great job Juan! Looking forward to the next time.”

Melissa was amazing! Luka had such a great time and even made a new friend. 🤍 He was definitely in the best care, and we would absolutely choose Melissa again.

Bruna was able to accommodate my request last minute. She lives very close by to me and that was a plus! My pups were well cared for! Bruna communicated well and sent me pics of how the pups were doing. My pups were comfortable in her home and were able to prance around freely. She was also able to accommodate giving my older pup his meds. I recommend Bruna to watch your pups and I will seek out her help again when the need arises! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely amazing experience! 💕 From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. She was very professional, kind, and kept us updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to us while we were away. The best part was seeing how comfortable and happy our dog looked with her. It was clear that he felt safe, loved, and well cared for. 🥰 We are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone. The only downside is that now I’m worried she’ll be booked when we need her again! 🤭 Thank you for taking such great care of our boy! 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in McAllen on Rover is $21.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 139 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across McAllen. 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.
100% of McAllen 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 McAllen 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 McAllen 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 McAllen.
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 McAllen 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.
