“Salene took such great care of my dog! I was a little nervous since it was her first time being around a cat, but Salene was incredibly patient with the introduction and made sure she felt comfortable. She truly treated my dog like her own, and I loved getting updates and photos of them playing together. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“First time leaving our dog since her adoption and Jennifer and Brian along with their kids took excellent care of our dog. Highly recommend. Also super flexible with pickupz”
“You can tell that Julie is not only a dog person, but also thoroughly understands dogs and their needs. She is so accommodating and truly makes you feel heard and your dog feel understood. I would highly recommend Julie & Natalie to anyone. She was very communicative and I knew my pup was in great hands.”
“Jingyi and her family took wonderful care of Coco and Charli while we were on vacation. Since this was our first boarding ever, we were unsure of how things would go. Jingyi sent daily pictures and video and was so responsive in keeping us up to date on how our girls were doing. I think Coco and Charli thought they were on vacation with the love and attention that they got from Jingyi's family. I don't think we could have asked for a better boarding experience.”
“Eana was great! Very quick to respond and provided daily updates over the 4 days she provided boarding. She has a very strong understanding of dogs and provided a clean and welcoming place (house is very clean). This allowed me to be at ease over the past 4 days while I was gone. Would highly recommend Eana and will 100% reach out if I do come down to SD again.”
“Elaine and Steve were absolutely wonderful to my pooch. They are very kind and welcoming. I had no worries at all leaving my pooch in their care. Elaine kept in touch with plenty of pics and prompt replies. I definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.”
“Dana and her family took exceptional care of our senior Yorky. They treated him as if he were their own, providing him with love and attention. Dana also sent text updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely rebook her again.”
“Lucy couldn’t wait to get in the door to see Ruth and her other furry friends. It’s so nice to know she loves going there. I used to have to drag her in the door at her other sitter’s house.”
“Sara was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dogs for 10 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly kind and sweet, and her home is warm and welcoming. Her large backyard was the perfect playground for my dogs, giving them plenty of space to run and play. She sent daily pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Knowing my dogs were in such great hands made all the difference. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“This was our first time being away from our dog (she was a pandemic puppy) so I was a nervous dog Mom. Lisa was great -- she sent us pictures of Dottie Pepper several times, she was very responsive to texts, and followed our "cheat sheet" of instructions that we provided. Dottie Pepper says "thumbs up" and we have already booked the next stay.”
“Great experience! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and I could tell Zion got plenty of playtime because he was so calm and happy when I picked him up. I really appreciated the pictures and videos—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Joan was wonderful. She and her family took great care of Gracie and provided me with lots of updates. She was so happy to be there! She is a great doggie caregiver! Hope to use her again.”
“Shalini and her family were Prepared and organized during our meet and greet. Asked me a lot of questions about my fur baby. Her kids love dogs as well and this made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur son. He definitely went straight to sleep in the car he played a lot. Lol Shalini is flexible and accepted my request on short notice due to work. We will be back soon regularly!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jill! As soon as she came to our house for a meet and greet with Bella, I felt at ease. Having just moved to TX, Bella had been nervous about us leaving, even to run errands. But Jill made her feel at ease and when we dropped her off for her weekend stay, Bella didn’t seem to mind at all and she loved playing with Iggy! We will definitely use Jill again. She is awesome! If you need someone for your pet, you need to book with Jill! Thank you so much!!!”
“Kelly is an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL caregiver and my dog loves staying with her! We always book with Kelly first when we need to travel. We appreciate her loving care for our Zeke!!! Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover, experienced dog owner, a wife, and a mom to a young toddler. Being both a parent and a pet owner has made me extremely patient, attentive, and dependable when caring for others—both people and pets. I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 13 years, grew up in a home where dogs were always part of the family, and we currently own two sweet dogs of our own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have flexible availability and plenty of time for your pet. I offer weekday and weekend walks, in-home visits, and boarding. We have a large fenced backyard for safe play and two friendly dogs for companionship. Please provide a crate for boarding. In your home, I follow routines, respect your space, and shower your pup with love.
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were quite apprehensive about leaving our sweet dog Anu with strangers. However, the moment we met Keyuana, we knew she would be the perfect choice for us. She welcomed us into her lovely home, asked all the right questions regarding our dog, patiently listened to our long list of questions, and understood all our concerns. Anu stayed with Keyuana for 3 weeks while we were traveling. During this time, we received daily updates from her regarding Anu’s routine, as well as some adorable pictures of Anu looking right at home. Needless to say, Keyuana will be our go-to person if we ever need to board Anu again in the future!”
“Traci was awesome! I had a change of plans and booked very last minute. Traci responded very quickly which helped my travel plans!! She sent me notes & pics all weekend, letting me know Bella was doing well. She was very kind and I would love to book with her again!! Thank you Traci!!”
“Tia took care of Toffee very well during our three weeks vacation; The price was reasonable and we are very happy with the service. We were updated with Toffees pictures routinely and any questions were notified quickly. Tia even offered a complimentary bath before pick up and Toffee was very clean when we got her. We will definitely call her for any of our future accommodation for Toffee.”

Can’t be more grateful to Booke for the services offered. She always went above and beyond proving necessities for my Pet’s stay. Buddy felt so loved that he started missing Brooke. Must say Buddy has found a second home and will certainly be my go to for future. Thanks Brooke for all you did!
I highly recommend Robyn! She took wonderful care of Mila while I was away. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that Mila was well cared for, well fed, and received plenty of attention and affection. I truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication. I would absolutely trust her to care for Mila again in the future. Thank you so much, Robin!
First of all, I want to thank Teresa for taking such good care of our dog, Soonie. We are so happy knowing that Soonie had a wonderful time in a comfortable and loving environment with a good friend. We were very satisfied with the care he received. If we ever need a sitter again in the future, we would definitely love to book with Teresa again.
Britney took amazing care of our dog! We were worried our dog would be too high energy and difficult to manage, but she truly an expert with taking care of dogs. She kept us updated frequently with picture and videos to ensure we knew exactly how he’s doing. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back!
We could not have been more pleased with Gabrielle. Our dogs were so well loved and cared for! She sent regular photos and videos which enabled me to relax and not worry about my fur babies while we were away. It was clear they were having a ball! Thank you for loving them so well!!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in McKinney on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of McKinney sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which McKinney landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their McKinney home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your McKinney.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your McKinney sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
