“Britney is AMAZING and makes me feel good that she checked in on my Kitties while I was out vacationing. :-) She does an excellent job and I sleep better knowing she is checking in daily. Plus - I LOVE the pics.”
“Brooke was amazing when taking care of my two cats while I was away. She always sent lots of photos and made sure both cats got the wet food and attention they needed. Went above and beyond!”
“Absolutely Amazing! I needed someone last minute and she came through even though we were having trouble with the booking. We got it all worked out in the end and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She was patient and kind and took wonderful care of Lilo! I am so grateful for her and the incredible care she takes in looking after your pets. I knew from the first check-in that I could trust her and that Lilo was in great hands. So thankful. Will definitely book with her again.”
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.
“Sydney was outstanding! This was my first time using Rover & I was honestly a bit worried overall. She clearly communicated, sent daily updates for my dog, & my fur baby was a happy camper along the way. I unexpectedly came back later, & needed Sydney to feed my dog at the last minute. She was able to come through for me with little notice. Very happy & will be booking her again for sure”
“I have never used Rover, as we are new to our town and dont have anyone we know close to us. But we needed to go out of town. And I was recommended this app. Blake showed up when I first looked and no matter what I just kept going back to her page. I am so glad I did. I can't be more thankful for the peace of mind she gave me. My fur kitty is about 2 weeks shy of being 20 years old. With an 8/9 spoiled sister. She loved them like their own. Lady couldn't wag her tail hard enough when Blake stopped by. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this a very positive experience. If I could rate higher than a 5 I would. 🐈Jager and 🐕Lady will miss her!!!”
“I highly recommend Ms. Jaclyn! She bonded quickly with Lula and upon my return home, Lula's usual anxiety wasn’t present. Ms. Jaclyn was kind enough to bring in a package I forgot was coming in. Ms. Jaclyn is now on my speed dial when I have to go on my trips! James S.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love getting to know every pup’s unique personality! I’m experienced in basic training and provide loving, attentive care. I’m deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate, but I can speak a little too—your pets will always be in patient, understanding hands 💛 My schedule for summer is super flexible and I will be able to have plenty of time to give your fur babies the best experience of their life 😆 I love hanging out and giving the cuddles! Starting Aug 4th, I will be working from 7:30am to 4pm on Mondays to Fridays since school is back in session now! Meanwhile I will be free during school breaks such as spring break, fall break, Thanksgiving break/Christmas break. I am happy to housesit your place which means I can come and stay at your place to take care of your fur kiddos! Just need to be aware that I will have to step out sometimes to take care of my own fur kiddos and sometimes will have shifts to work. I always make sure to take care of the animals first before I head out.
“Jonai was absolutely amazing with my baby, Sosa! She provides amazing detail, and gets you sooooo many wonderful pictures of your fur baby. 🥰 I HIGHLY recommend her and I will be using her services again. We love her!!!!”

I specialize in dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, puppy care, senior pets, and multi-pet households. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I grew up helping my parents raise and train German Shorthairs in our family kennel, animals have been a part of my life ever since. I've fostered more than 30 dogs and cats, recently trained two Cane Corsos to earn their AKC Canine Good Citizen certifications using positive LIMA training methods, and I'm American Red Cross Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I'm also comfortable administering medications and caring for shy, anxious, or high-energy pets. Why pet parents choose me - 40 years of hands-on dog & cat experience - Experienced with cats & dogs. Large breeds, puppies, seniors and multi-pet households - American Red Cross Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid - Comfortable administering medications - Reliable, responsible and safety focused I know leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, I provide dependable care, regular updates, and photos so you always know they're happy, safe and being treated like one of my own. I'm newly available on Rover, which means your pet gets my full, undivided attention and my absolute best. I'd love to offer your fur family a free meet-and-greet.

“This is our second time working with Melanie and she was fantastic as always. She helped our cat, Jack feel less stressed while we were away. When we returned, she had grabbed our mail, left the sweetest note, Jack's room was spotless, and Jack came out to greet us as if this was just a normal day. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Do you have experience with young dogs, old dogs, dogs with special needs, dogs on medication and dogs needing lots of love and exercise. We love to play in this house and are very engaged with your pet. We have two doggy doors and 3 years experience. We are an active family and are willing to play, comfort, and make your pet feel at home. We are looking for pets that have no hostility or history of abuse but rather are comfortable with children. We have experience with all sizes of dogs up to Italian Mastif sized. It would be a blessing to help watch your furry family member. Must love long walks in the grass and running about. Lots of love and snuggles. Party of 5 We are an active, family-oriented household, and someone is home most of the time, which allows us to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. We love getting outside for walks and activities, but we're just as happy spending quiet time giving belly rubs and snuggles. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and will receive lots of love, care, and companionship while you're away. Providing a safe, loving, and low-stress environment is my top priority. For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure, board-on-board fenced backyard with locked gates and a doggy door that allows them safe access to the outdoors for potty breaks and play. Because someone is home most of the time, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. For cats, we create a calm and enriching environment with cozy spaces to relax, plenty of areas to explore, and windows where they can enjoy watching the world go by. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to follow their individual routines and comfort levels. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their established schedules and routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Whether it's feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, medications, playtime, or lots of affection, I care for every pet as though they were one of my own.
About: We’ve had dogs and cats in our house my entire life. I’ve also stayed at friends houses for a week at a time to care for their animals. I mainly have taken care of dogs and cats but I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon and two sugar gliders which live in the same home. I’m currently working part time while trying to find an accounting position. I love spending time with dogs so I thought this would be a great way to make a little extra money. I’ll do whatever the pet owner asks of me. If I’m taking care of an animal for a few days it’s always nice to have a list of instructions on what the pet is used to.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in McKinney is $20
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 August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
