“Yasmim was so great! She communicated me with me so well and quickly and sent me multiple updates on how my baby was doing. She even sent her home with a little goodie bag 💓 Would definitely recommend!”
“Antonio and Priscilla were absolutely great sitters! They did everything in their hands to make both our dogs comfortable and treated them like their own. They sent us regular updates a few times a day and would respond almost immediately when I asked how my dogs were doing. Our dogs probably got more playtime and attention than they do at home. I would definitely book with them again!”
“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! ☺️”
“This was the first time I had to leave my dog with someone. From drop off to pick up Tanya made me and Shimmy feel like family! She also provided daily updates! Put me at ease the whole time I was away.”
“I boarded my pups with Marcy for two nights and the experience was so positive! This was my first time boarding them and Macy was so great about communicating with me and assuring me that they were okay! One of my pups is pretty anxious and she took that right in stride! She helped to carry the crate inside and then helped to bring it back to my car at pick up. Marcy knows what she’s doing and I’m glad my pups got to hang out with her and Yogi this weekend ?”
About: I am new to this app and can’t wait to see what this is all about ! With years of experience in pet care, I have honed my skills in understanding the unique needs of each pet I look after. I provide gentle and attentive care for senior pets, ensuring they are comfortable and happy. Our animals are only here on this earth for a short amount of time and I believe in giving them the BEST life ever. You can definitely count on me to make your animals happy and feel loved. My love for animals and my commitment to their well-being sets me apart from other sitters. I am currently a full-time high school student with extracurricular activities during the week, my availability for pet care is primarily on weekends. I'm more than happy to dedicate my free time to taking care of your pets. Just let me know the specific times and needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate them on weekends! When it comes to caring for pets, whether it's in my home or the client's home, I prioritize their safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise routines. If I'm caring for pets in the client's home, I maintain a clean and organized environment, respecting their space and following their guidelines. Trust is essential, and I always prioritize the well-being of the pets entrusted to my care.
“A well earned 5 stars! Colleen took such time and attention with our Lilo that went way above our expectations. Thank you for being so gracious and tending to her needs so well. We will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love caring for them like they’re my babies. I also help watch my family and friends' pets when they’re out of town, so I’m used to giving animals lots of love and attention. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family with me. I’m attending the university of the rio grande valley. However, I only attend on certain days and right now it’s summer so i’m free. I will make time. I will do my best to clean any mess the pets make and I am reliable to give them food and water and take on walks daily.
“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”
“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.”
“I am so happy to have found Rubi through Rover to care for Poppy. I had peace of mind during my travels as she communicated with me via text and video about his care and well being. I would definitely reach out again for this service.”
“Lisette exceeded our expectations. She sent us a lot of pictures and our fur babies had a blast. Our regular sitter was unavailable this weekend and we were a bit worried leaving them with someone new. Thank you very much, Lisette for taking such good care our pups. We also appreciated the postcard. We highly recommend her services!!!”
“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.”

Terrie was amazing with our pug, Chiquis. She was very attentive to Chiquis needs, has excellent communication and sent us updates and lots of pics ❤️. I was afraid Chiquis wasn’t want to come home with me as she was having a such a great time with Terrie. Will definitely rebook Terrie!
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! ☺️
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

There are 133 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in McAllen. About 97% of McAllen sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
