About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve always had dogs of my own and have also cared for friends’ dogs on several occasions. My husband and I share our home with Sami, our sweet and friendly Chihuahua–Jack Russell mix. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I have a special love for small dogs and believe every pup deserves patience, affection, and personalized attention. My goal is to make every furry guest feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like part of our family! Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I work weekday mornings and am home in the afternoons, evenings, and overnight, giving me plenty of time for playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. I always make sure each pup’s routine and needs are a good fit with my schedule. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I live in a spacious, smoke-free home in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood, with a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. I share my home with Sami, my sweet and friendly Chihuahua–Jack Russell mix. I welcome small dogs and believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where every guest feels like part of the family. I follow each dog’s individual routine, respect their needs, and make sure they have a comfortable place to rest. I also believe in getting to know each dog before their stay to ensure a good fit with Sami. I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pets staying in my home. I personally handle their feeding, supervision, walks, playtime, and daily care.
“Judith is awesome. She took good care of Woody and sent me a couple photos throughout the day, proving he was still alive. 😜 Her honesty humbled me too-- she told me I overpaid (since I mistakenly chose Boarding instead of Daycare). Great lady!”
“Britney and her family were the best! I got pictures everyday and had no worries all weekend! She was awesome and Ava fit right in with her friendly pug! I definitely recommend her with flying colors! She will be my first choice for my next stay!”
“Yulia is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog is skittish and frequently feels unsafe in unknown places. Surprisingly, he wiggled his tale and went straight to her on arrival. Upon pick up, he didn’t even want to leave! I’ve also received updates and photos of my fur baby during the stay and he looked soo happy. Looking forward to future bookings!”
“Sarah is Great! I board twice my 2 small dogs within a month and she treat them great!. She keep me updated with text and photos and the girls look super happy. The second time it was easier for the girls, as soon they saw Sarah they went inside her house with no troubles. It seems that they knew the drill.There is no words to express how grateful I'm with Sarah because I can go out of town with no worries about my dogs because I know they are well taking care of. Thanks Sarah!”
“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!”
“Lisa and David did a great job with Uno. He was so comfortable and happy. I loved he had a few new friends to play with along the way. Lisa was very active with keeping me up to date on Uno by taking pictures and sending me message. I loved it! I had no worries and would definitely use them again! Uno has a new sitter!”
“Hattie’s stay with Tiffany was a great experience! We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure she was a good match for their home. Communication was a breeze and Tiffany sent daily notes at our request to see how everything was going and how Hattie was settling in. We had peace of mind knowing she was in great care over the holidays while we were away.”
“Patricia was so sweet with my pup! Her home has a very calm feel to it, and her lil Lexi was very welcoming to Tate. Within minutes of the initial meet & greet, Tatum seemed to be settled & comfortable. And she loved the backyard. Would definitely recommend Patricia to care for your pup!”
“Deepa was so amazing. She accommodated a late night last minute request to watch our fur baby as we needed to rush out of town. She sent plenty of pics and videos of our dog playing, getting cuddles, and enjoying time with his new playmate Leo (their husky)! Thank you so much. Your pup will be in great hands with Deepa. We highly recommend and will be back!!”
“Brooke did an amazing job taking care of Murphy while we were away! She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Murphy was in great hands and truly enjoyed her company. We really appreciated that she went the extra mile and picked up treats for him when he ran out — such a thoughtful gesture! Thank you, Brooke, for treating Murphy like your own. We’d absolutely trust you again in a heartbeat!”
“Carrington was amazing this was Nala’s first time with a sitter and as nervous as I was in the beginning Carrington made the process very smooth answered all of my questions, gave daily updates, and quick responses.”
“Cody enjoyed his overnight stay with Erin & Gary, and their Black Lab Bella. It was reassuring to receive the photos from Erin of the 2 dogs playing so well together. We would definitely book Cody to stay with Erin & Gary again. Thank you so much!”
“Another great experience with Amy and Daniel taking care of Phoebe and Pudding. I feel safe leaving my dogs with them, especially since Phoebe is 15 years old and needs extra attention and care. They are very attentive and truly care about the dogs. They also send us photos every day, which means a lot because we miss our dogs when we are away. Highly recommend them if you need a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Stephanie and her family are wonderful, my puppy was so happy and spoiled by the whole family. Stephanie will send photos and videos everyday while we were out of town. Highly recommended.”
“Maria went above and beyond to take care of Lee. I can tell Lee was really happy in their house and enjoyed all the playtime and activities her family did with Lee. Thank you Maria!”
“Sara was wonderful in the care and communication she had with me during this whole process. First time letting someone watch my dogs and it made me extremely nervous but she made it a very relaxing and comforting knowing my babies were in good hands. I don’t trust many people to look after my two with how they are, but I definitely trust her and will keep using her to watch my dogs in the future!”

Angelique was a gem ! She worked with me to arrange an early drop off time at her home. She was very welcoming to us and our dog. Every day I received several photos of my dog and an update. This interaction gave me peace of mind while we were away. I have already booked another dog sitting with Angelique for next month. I highly recommend Angelique for dog sitting.
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!
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!!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in McKinney can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
