“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.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Kathi and Steve! It was our first time ever leaving our Shih Tzu, Luna, with anyone, and we were so nervous. We met them a week before to see how Luna would react to them and their dogs, and she felt instantly comfortable—which made things much easier for us. While we were away, Kathi and Steve kept us updated regularly with photos and videos, and seeing how happy Luna was truly allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. We were attending a volleyball tournament and had a long drive home, but they were so gracious about our late pickup, making us feel like it was no issue at all. When we got Luna back, she was happy and well cared for, which means the world to us. We highly recommend Kathi and Steve and will absolutely trust them with Luna again in the future!”


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 treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm environment.

“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.”

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 was introduced to my wonderful Sabrina when I was 4. Everyday was something new with my baby. We would go on walks, play with her toys and just spend time together. We took care of her until her very last fetch. Sabrina made me fall in love with animals. Now I have my Zoey who I love and adore as much as I did my Sabrina. I have an open schedule, so last minute scheduling is not a problem. I’m available most days of the week and weekends. Just give me a holler! I have a very nice backyard and two friendly dogs. If your pet does not get along with dogs I have a separate area for my dogs! :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McAllen
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 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 !! ❤️

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! 💕

Rick is amazing! He was so patient and flexible with us. Our plane got delayed and he went to the extreme to arrange pick up times outside arranged pick up time. Definitely will use him again! Thank you Rick for the communication, the pictures and videos and the text messages.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 142 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in McAllen. About 98% of McAllen sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
