“Lisa is wonderful with my fur baby. We have used them a few times now and they have always been so caring, thoughtful, and attentive to Maxcee making sure to send me plenty of photos and updates (which I really appreciate). This last stay she wasn't feeling her best and Lisa made sure to give her meds and even managed to get her to eat. Afterward her stay, she reached out to see how Maxcee was feeling which was very nice of her to do. I know when I leave Maxcee with Lisa and David she is in good hands and that makes me feel so much better when I'm away from her. Thank you, Lisa and David!”
“I greatly appreciate the updates that were shared. In all of the pictures , you could tell that Milo was happy and living his best life getting to mingle with other dogs.”
“Yulia is truly amazing ✨. One of a kind caretaker. Your pet is in good hands! We never have to worry about our senior (14.5 y/o) doggy. 🐾 Many cute photos, and daily updates! 😊”
“This is the first time we’ve boarded our dogs so we were a little anxious about how they would adapt. Judith was a total Godsend! Flexible, responsive, and very understanding of our dogs’ individual personalities and needs. We appreciated the daily updates, and could tell they were doing just fine. Which was great because I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, they were happy to see us but clearly not stressed or anxious. Meaning - they felt safe and comfortable and happy under Judith’s care. Her home is perfect for dogs, with a fenced back yard. I’m so thankful and highly recommend Judith!”
“Sarah was wonderful! Archie had so much fun staying with her for a few days and came back tired and so happy. I’ll definitely be coming to her next time I need someone to watch him!”
“Brooke was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and we were very apprehensive. She immediately put me at ease! She was so kind, sent updates/pictures/videos multiple times through the days, and loved my babies like they were her own. We will definitely be requesting her to puppysit for us again. 12 out of 10!!”
“From what I can see, Missy did fine with Amanda and her family! I love that Amanda and her husband tried different tactics to get Missy to take her pill and to eat. And it sounds like Missy provided a good amount of laughter for them. I know she had fun playing with all of the dogs. Amanda, thank you so much for taking care of my Missy!”
“Teresa is such a calming presence. A recent stay for our fur baby was a great experience. She makes sure we get updates and is accommodating of any requests that will help with the stay be seamless.”
“We would high recommend Jonai! She was great with our dog, sent many pictures and videos and provided a great weekend getaway for our dog so we didn’t have to worry. We would high recommend and will use again if the need arises.”
“We always had great experience with Erin and Gary. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend.”
“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.”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! Carrington and her family are amazing. My business trip consisted of flight cancellations, long delays, and heavy traffic. Carrington was so warm and understanding. She provided updates and photos at every request. I also had a flat tire when I arrived to drop off Charlie, and her husband changed my tire. I got home safely and with a happy pup! Highly recommended!”
About: I have spent my life surrounded by animals! When I was 5 I got my first pet, he was a chihuahua, that I was lucky to have for 15 years before he passed. Now I have two cats named Asta and Poppy that I have had for 4 years! Over the years I have developed an extensive client list that contains family, friends, coworkers, and bosses. The dogs I have taken care of range from small, medium, and large. Along with drop ins and house sitting for cats. I have experienced administering insulin shots and giving medication. House sitting, drop ins, walking, and boarding at my place are jobs I have done. I will love your animals as if they are my own and treat them with the best care I can possibly give! I would love it if you picked me for your pet care needs!! I am currently working full time 7:45-5 and understand this can be difficult schedule to work with because of potty breaks. I also have two pets of my own that I take care of. Even though they are cats and are pretty self sufficient, they still need company and stimulation! With proactive communication, I am certain we can establish a way to make our relationship work for the both of us! I have two cats at home! They are pretty self sufficient and really appreciate company. They prefer solo play but there is this string toy that they LOVE and everyday when I get home we play for as long as they are interested! I also work on the tricks I have taught them everyday. For your pets I will treat them like my own and respect their space when they need it!
“Lindsey and her family were a terrific host. For a 2 week stay for my dog I couldn’t have asked for a better situation. She took great care of Ozzy and was always quick to respond. Will definitely have Oz stay again and I very much recommend her.”
“Tiffany was AMAZING! She gave us adequate updates on how our pup was doing with awesome pictures. My mind was at ease with her as she was very responsive to my messages and communicated well with us. It was difficult to choose who to leave our pup with and we were so happy to find Tiffany! She will definitely be our go-to for boarding our dog. Highly recommended!!”

Zoya went above and beyond and took exceptional care of my golden, Yogi. He came back happy and clearly had a wonderful time. My silly golden loves running around with socks and kitchen napkins, and Zoya was so patient and caring with all his little quirks. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!
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!!

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 .
As of July 2026, there are 3,425 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across McKinney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
