“I’m so grateful to have found Lucy as a sitter! She’s even able to snap great pics of my shyer kitten, and my kitties don’t seem mad at me at all for leaving them when I return home :)”
“I was so worried about leaving our 8 week old puppy alone for the first time but Blake’s visit put us at ease. She updated me on how her visit was and even sent me cute pics. Would highly recommend!”
“Sabrina is an absolute angel- our english bulldog was so taken care of while we were gone. We are so thankful to have found her and have someone with such a kind heart to love on our lazy guy!”
“Jaclyn exceeded our expectations! She did everything that was asked of her and more. She even took the kitty litter to the dumpster! Our cats absolutely loved her and were very happy when we got home. She was patient with our cat, Moose, who takes a little more time to warm up to people, and was sure to give our energetic cat, Mabel, everything she needed. I will definitely book Jaclyn again in the future!”
“Brooke was amazing with our 4 dogs (including an almost 3 month old puppy!). She had no problem staying for extended drop in visits due to the new puppy. She played with all of the dogs, spent time outside and brought them in when it was getting too hot. I will absolutely be booking Brooke again soon!”
“Tori is great! Hank is a very nervous dog and she makes him so comfortable and calm. I love how she stays in contact with me and sends me pics so I know how he is doing. She has stayed with Hank 3 times and I will definitely use her again.”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful! She is so loving and caring with my pup. I feel completely comfortable knowing he was in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Samantha will be the only one I trust to watch my gunner moving forward. I genuinely felt she loved my boy just as much as I did and gunner must of felt it because he loved her immediately. This was my first time using anything outside of boarding and as long as she is available this will be my first option moving forward.”
“Sarah went above and beyond like she always does. She kept me updated and really went the extra mile for me. When one of my pups was not feeling good, she made sure to take extra care for them.”
“Rachel took fantastic care of our boy. He’s not the easiest dog but he clearly really liked her. Knowing she was taking care of our boy was very reassuring. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Nicole was great with our 2 cats. One of our cats is older and has a complicated food system. She was very attentive and followed exactly what we needed her to. We loved getting the updates from her while we were away—very detailed and thorough.”
About: I have been providing services through Rover for 5+ years. Dog sitting, drop ins, day care and dog walks! I grew up on a small farm with dogs and cats as well as horses, cows, chickens and rabbits, so I've cared for animals all my life! As I currently own a dog and a cat myself (or do they own me?) I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a nurse but I currently stay at home with my kids full-time. That means my schedule is open and flexible in caring for your pets any time you need! During a drop in I make sure to follow all instructions, send detailed updates and make sure the pets have a positive experience while I am with them.
“I'm delighted with Melanie’s visit! She visited our kitty cat twice, spent quality time, cleaned her bowl, and even indulged in some cuddle time. It's evident she genuinely cares for the well-being of peta. Highly recommend!”
About: Ive not only taken care of my own pets but I have also taken care of my friend’s and family’s and I know and understand the value of them as they aren't only pets but family and I will make sure I give them the love, respect, and care that a family member would deserve!!! Im currently enrolled in high-school and working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your furry babies!!! I will adhere to any rules and or particular necessities that your pet has, In order to give your pets the best care and make sure they feel loved and happy!!!
“Mia took care of my 4 month old puppy and 8 year old dog. She ensured that their needs were met and went above and beyond to care for them. She communicated efficiently and made sure to update me after her visit.”
“Britney is absolutely amazing. Sends photos and fun updates after each visit and is a great communicator. She even did something special for our girl as it was her birthday the day we came back home. Thank you Britney for everything!!”
About: I am recently retired and have sold my house. I house/pet sit full time locally and internationally. I have owned and fostered both dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. Since I have no pets of my own anymore, I enjoy loving on the pets I sit with. Before I retired, I hired house sitters to stay with my 125 lb. mastiff/GSD. I understand how important it is to feel confident that my pet and home would be taken care of responsibly. This allows you to relax and enjoy your time away. Since I'm retired, I have time and patience to spend with seniors and puppies. I can be there to ensure everyone's routines are maintained. Cats are always fun to sit for. I know how stressful change can be for cats. I'm happy to allow for them to hide as long as they need to or offer pets until they chose to do something else. Since pets are my full-time occupation, my schedule can be flexible to ensure your pets' needs are taken care of. I will spoil them as much as you allow me to, but will always respect your guidelines. Since I will care for you pet(s) in your home, I will follow the safety guidelines you provide. I have had both friendly and reactive dogs, so will follow your guidance on how best to ensure safety on walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - McKinney
Sydney was awesome! She asked questions to make sure our cat was getting the best care and was extremely attentive to our cat’s needs. She completed care that we didn’t even ask her to do because that’s how thorough and thoughtful she is! We will definitely be booking with Sydney again. Our cat wasn’t even mad we left, haha
Lucy went above and beyond what I expected. My kitties were very upset I left and would hide under my bed when she showed up, but she made sure they had fresh food and water, even crawled on the floor and sent me pictures of them daily. I will definitely use her again.
Amelia was amazing with my two cats, Milo and Bella. She took great care of them by feeding them, cleaning the litter box, and spending time playing with them, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and I left specific instructions for how to handle that, and Amelia followed everything perfectly. It was clear she was attentive, patient, and truly cared about my pets. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in McKinney on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,180 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across McKinney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McKinney. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
