“Bruna was the best sitter we’ve ever had and she kept in contact frequently with updates. She took care of my Yoshi like it was her own and my buddy knew it too. He was well taken care of, I will book again with her.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. If it wasn’t our pet dogs or cats, it was our chickens, livestock, and even rescues. I am currently a college student with a part-time job that usually takes up only four hours out of my day. The rest of the time I am home, studying or out on walks and runs. I would love to have company when I do go for my strolls. We have a fenced in yard that as well separate small dogs and large dogs. As well, a play area for the pets to socialize if granted. Treats are given to pets for their cuteness, unless dietary restrictions.
“We had a fantastic experience with Faith who took care of my three dogs. She was attentive, and caring throughout the entire duration. My dogs were happy and well-cared for, and I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. Till next time!”
“Like many fur baby parents leaving their child with someone for the first time, we were very apprehensive and nervous about leaving our pet with just anyone. After doing a thorough review of caretakers on Rover, we decided to go with Rick. We are so glad we did. Rick was very kind and understanding of our situation and the anxiety that we were going through. He explained that it was normal to have the feelings we were going through and assured us that our pet Cody would be well taken care of. He provided us video and photos of Cody every two hours, assuring us every time that he was doing fine. Given Rick's attentiveness to our needs and care of our little one it is obvious why so many people have given him 5 stars on his services and trusted him with their pets. We are extremely pleased with Rick's services and will definitely call upon him again when needing someone to take care of our little guy.”
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.

About: As a devoted pet owner, my journey with my Pomeranian, Bibi , has been incredibly rewarding. At 12 years old, she has become not just a pet but a cherished member of my family. Caring for Bibi has taught me the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. As she ages, I’m committed to providing the best care possible, ensuring her golden years are filled with comfort, joy, and plenty of love. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world! I am a lead manager at a pet store and I have a 12 year old senior Pomeranian with a heart condition which she has a medicine schedule for. I enjoy taking care of animals and dedicating my free time with them as well. Luckily we have a walled and gated property where no one can look inside or look outside, our property has plenty of free space for animals to roam around and sun bathe as well as a big car port for extra shade for our pets, it is free of any debris and any danger that can harm our pets.

About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was 5 years old, and have taken care of them by myself ever since I was 10. I have a vast amount of knowledge in caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I even have experience helping momma dogs give birth. If your pets are on any type of medication do not worry I will take care of that for you. I also have some knowledge in training as I have trained every dog I have owned. I am currently at home almost 24/7 the only times I’m not is if I have to run so errands, but I’m never out for more than 3 hours especially if I have any pets being boarded with me. If you need me to come by and check on your pet/pets I can come by as often as needed. I do have 3 dogs living with me one is mine one is my mom’s and one is my brother’s. They all stay downstairs and whenever I have any pets staying with me they will be with me in my room which is upstairs. They will have the whole upstairs to themselves as it is gated off. If you do not wish for your pets to come in contact with mine I will make sure of that. If your dogs are dog friendly and you don’t mind them playing with other dogs I will introduce them to only my boy to have some play time. I live of 5 acres and have a huge backyard plenty of room to get their energy out. Your pets will always be watched when outside. I also live close by to a park that I can take your fur baby’s on a walk at. If your pets need to be crated at night I ask if you can provide the crate and I’ll set it up right in my bedroom. If your dogs are potty trained and are used to sleeping in bed I will allow them to sleep with me. If you happen to have any other questions feel free to ask me.
About: I would be a great sitter because I’ve had pets my entire life and understand how important it is to give them proper care, attention, and affection. Growing up in a family where everyone has had pets has given me hands-on experience with different animals and their needs, so I’m comfortable, patient, and reliable when it comes to caring for them. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to care for pets. I’m home cooking most of the time I would be the perfect fit. I have a fenced yard & the yard is pretty big so they can roam & run around all day. I don’t have any pets currently with me because I just moved over here.
“Kathi was wonderful! She suggested a prior meet to ensure Bella would mix well with her pets and then welcomed us all into her home for a few minutes. I found this very helpful. The care Bella received with Kathi was excellent. Bella felt welcome and comfortable in their home; I could tell by how eager she was for a return visit. I would definitely recommend Kathi.”
About: The truth is; i am gifted when it comes to animals. But dogs are my heart. They are clear communicators, and when their needs are met, they are a joy. All ages and breeds welcome. Can also offer gentle or strict parenting/training/guidance on request. Pet care is simple; ensuring the animals safety and specific needs are being met, while also paying attention and being aware of their cues. A constant combination of attentiveness, exercise, hygiene, and nutrients. Plenty of love and clean water, always. Caring for animals is about being present. Being in tune with both their needs and desires. For my fur babies, I always make sure that their needs are taken care of before my own, just like a child. If the parents of the fur babies I am caring for have specific instructions, I am great at that as well. You know your babies better than anyone.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your McAllen commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 117 sitters in McAllen, 93% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
