“Terrie is the best sitter!! She took care of my Cici, a yorkie, as if it was one of her own pets for 5 days. Very lovely and kind-hearted person, warm home, very organized and kept me informed of my dog everyday. Cici had a great time! We will definitely book again with her for our next trip. Only good and beautiful things to say, and very thankful that we have found Terrie!!”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am for Sandra and the love she gave my dog, Bonito. From the moment we met, I knew he was in the best hands. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. Sandra treated Bonito like he was her own, and it showed in every little thing! From making sure he ate well to giving him the love and attention he’s used to at home. She sent me daily updates and the sweetest photos that truly gave me peace of mind. You can tell she does this from the heart. It’s rare to find someone who not only watches your dog but genuinely cares for them. I’m beyond thankful to have found her, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Bonito. She’s a gem and a true blessing for any pet parent!”
“Excellent caregivers. They were very attentive, answered my messages promptly, gave me updates on Linda, and sent me photos and videos. I had never left Linda with anyone before, and they really inspired my confidence! Thanks so much”
“She is the best! Was so understanding when my flight kept getting delayed for bad weather. Elizabeth and her family were sooo good to my babies! She sent pictures and videos of my babies which helped ease my anxiety with leaving them for a whole week. She is honestly just the best sitter I have found on rover 10/10 recommend booking with Elizabeth. Thank you !! ❤️”
“Wonderful experience!! She is very accessible , friendly and understanding, she accommodated our last minute request and even our modification of itinerary. Thank you for everything! Our go to, for sure!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dijon and Toffee were incredibly well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. ❤️🐾 It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands with Samantha while I was away. Communication was great, and I could tell my babies were comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. Frenchies definitely have their own little personalities and needs, and they were handled perfectly! I truly appreciate the care and kindness shown to both of them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur babies. We will definitely be booking again! 🐶🐶❤️”
“Excelente atención y cuidado. Siempre muy atenta desde el primer contacto. Su casa y patio son espaciosos, con barda y cerca muy segura. Todos los días se comunicaba y mandaba video de Juancho. Gracias.”
“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! ☺️”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! She took care of Luka as if he were her own. I felt very comfortable the whole time, she sent lots of photos and kept me updated about everything with him. She spoiled him a lot, and when I went to pick him up, he was even playing outside with her! I would definitely trust her with Luka again without hesitation”
“Gabriela took excellent care of Candy and Daisy, including taking them for walks and playing with them. They took time to learn what each dog needed. We will be asking them to care for our dogs in the future.”
About: Fellow dog momma and animal lover! I love caring for animals and commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! My lil girl is a spoiled 8 year old Sheepadoodle. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I currently stay home so have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I’m ready to discuss a availability with you! I have a fenced yard and don’t mind taking pets for rides. My dog is very friendly with both people and other pets. If needed I have a crate, dog bowls and other pet essentials.
“Will always use Bianca to sit my fur babies when I need to leave town. They’re so excited to arrive at her place, you just know they have a great time. She also does a good job sticking to their rules and routine which means the world to us.”
“Karen did an amazing job with Mack, she kept me updated all the way and he even made a little friend. She kept Macky comfy and happy I definitely recommend her and will be coming back, Mack loved her I didn't worry at all my whole trip ❤️❤️”
“Katherine was exceptional to put it simple. She is a dog lover and it shows. Her reviews initially sounded too good to be true but that was not the case. Her communication was, at minimum, three times daily and included photos as well as videos each time. It was like we never left Pheebs! I highly recommend her.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in McAllen on Rover is $21.4 per night (as of September 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 September 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 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.
