“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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.”
“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! ☺️”
“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.”
“Maritza is a phenomenal sitter who truly made our Bellatrix feel safe and comfortable. She provided excellent updates and was always available if any communication was needed. The photos she sent throughout the week truly showed Bellatrix enjoying her stay. I would recommend Maritza to any family/friends and will happily utilize her services again.”
About: The companionship of my pets has always meant so much to me. As a homemaker, I have the time to provide them with the best possible care, including their health, nutrition, love, and plenty of affection. Your furry baby will be in the best hands and will be treated as if they were my own. I have a senior Jack Russell at home who loves having company just as much as I do. Your pup's tummy comes first, so their stay includes special treats such as pet-safe ice cream, duck treats, dog cookies, peanut butter, and only purified water. If your pet prefers their own diet, you are more than welcome to bring their food, and I will be happy to serve it according to their routine. My home has a fully fenced backyard where your furry friend can safely enjoy playtime and outdoor activities. I also have plenty of toys and cozy dog beds for them to relax and take a comfortable nap whenever they need one. My daily schedule is very flexible, as I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my routine without any issues. Your dog will have constant supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I am able to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and at home. Hello! I'm Paty, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Since I spend most of my time at home, your furry family member will receive constant supervision, love, and personalized attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm environment. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I have cozy beds and toys to keep your pet happy and relaxed. I also share my home with a friendly senior Jack Russell who is accustomed to other dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages during your pet's stay, so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while giving you complete peace of mind. I would be honored to care for your beloved companion and look forward to meeting both of you!
“This was my first time ever using Rover and I am so glad I chose Karra. From the minute I left Boston with her she was updating me soon after making sure that I was aware that he was safe and comfortable with her. She sent me pictures regularly and every time I texted her to check up on him, she responded immediately. Super sweet and Mr. Boston was very happy with his sitter. Will most definitely book Karra again in the future!”
“Kelsey took great care of my babies while we were gone! So thankful she was available super last minute! I truly appreciated the daily updates, my dogs were very comfortable & happy to be there. Will definitely be booking again 🩷🩷”
“She’s a GODSEND <3 •she was available last minute: family emergency came up and she took Lala Mae in like she was her own. •1:1 care: I had booked with another rover app dog sitter who cared for up to 8 dogs at a time. Estrella took care of my furbaby and gave her the attention she needed while under her care while providing a safe environment. •consistent updates: pictures galore and I loved them ALL! Felt reassured my pet was in great hands (: •Walks on walks on walks: my pet is a blue heeler mix and is in need of A LOT of exercise. She was very attentive to her needs and was able to keep my furbaby’s paws tired and happy •BFF forever: my pet seemed like she felt very comfortable with Estrella and made being away from her easier as I knew she was genuinely cared for. We have not only made a working (dog sitting) relationship but really good friends who share love for dogs. WILL definitely book AGAIN if needed and I’m so happy I canceled the other Rover app booking and moved forward with having Estrella’s dog sitting services a million times! THANK YOU SO MUCH & I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU! Will stay in touch with you for future updates on Lala as well as dog sitting <3”
About: I have experience caring for pets by providing them with a safe, loving, and dependable environment while their owners are away. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and follow any specific care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, happiness, and well-being. Caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two miniature schnauzers, so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of love and attention every day. Having my own dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Because pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, I can easily provide dependable, caring, and attentive support for other pets as well. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of love and attention, and a safe, clean environment. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Samantha did such an amazing job taking care of Theo! This was actually my first time ever leaving Theo with a sitter, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier for me. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pictures of him, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Theo was comfortable, happy, and very well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have had such a great first experience leaving him with someone! I would absolutely trust Samantha with Theo again and will definitely be booking with her again. I fully recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to take care of their fur baby! 🤍🐾
We recently used Ms. Terrie’s dog sitting services for our Boston terrier, Kobe, and we had such a great experience! We really appreciated her flexibility and understanding when we had last minute changes to our drop off/pick up times. You can tell she really enjoys her job as she welcomed our Kobe with such a joyful heart. Her frequent updates throughout the day also gave us peace of mind that he was doing good! 100% recommend her services.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in McAllen is $21 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 133 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 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.
96% of sitters in McAllen 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 McAllen 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 McAllen.
<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 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 , 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 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.
