“Elise was absolutely fantastic for drop-ins for our 2 cats. She was attentive, detailed, and courteous throughout our complimentary meet & greet and I appreciate her taking notes beyond what I had already prepared. Everything seemed to operate as if we never left and both of our cautious cats warmed up to her very quickly. Communication was clear and quick, which was extremely appreciated. We will absolutely seek out Elise next time we need a pet sitter. Could not have asked for a better experience.”
“It was a pleasure to have Sara care for my cats while I was away. I loved getting regular updates. She communicated well and I REALLY REALLY appreciate her patience and flexibility when my cats were not cooperating. I highly recommend Sara's pet sitting services, she goes above and beyond.”
“Tori was fantastic! Really great communication on every drop in visit, with pics. And you can tell she really enjoys the job! And our doggies really seemed to enjoy her! Thank you so much for taking care of our pups, Tori”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them! I have three dogs of my own, all with completely different personalities and needs, so I know firsthand that every pet deserves care that’s personalized, patient, and full of love. Whether your dog is tiny and mellow or big and full of energy, I’m comfortable handling all types of pups and making sure they feel safe, happy, and excited for every visit! Your pets will be treated like part of the family with me! I work 100% remote and have flexility throughout the day for any drop in and/or walk! I enjoy getting outside throughout the work day and weekends! I am comfortable with any care routine/dog needs! I am very attentive and detail oriented! I will follow any instructions given to make your pup(s) feel comfortable!
“Louann was a lifesaver when we needed someone at the last minute. She took good care of Toby . She followed all our instructions with great detail and got the job done!. Thank you Louann!”
About: I've taken care of multiple types of dogs from an early age. I also used to have a dog named Gary (my brother named him from SpongeBob) when I was younger, but my mom couldn't afford him anymore. During school breaks, pet care fits very easily into my routine because I have a much more open and flexible schedule. I’m able to prioritize regular feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day without time constraints from classes. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, maintain their routines, and be fully present while caring for them. I think that it's important to spend quality time with pets, whether that's going on a walk or spending time at the park. And also just following the pet owner's instructions as well as understanding their routine.
“Joe was a lifesaver. Was able to take a last second trip, but no immediate friends were available to watch my dog. Joe was available and throughout the whole process, was kind, responsive, respectful and was completely caring and supportive for my dog and her needs. Highly recommend and will request again very soon!”

Angelique is amazing! She had been caring for my dogs for years and every visit she loves on him like her own. Thor gets spoiled and loved and always gets excited when his best friend comes over. If you are looking for the best person ever to care for your animal , look no further! Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for her!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McKinney stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in McKinney choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in McKinney with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
