About: Ohana means family! We care for your fur baby like our own Ohana. We traveled often when we lived in Hawaii so we didn’t have any pets of our own but we often pet sit a cute chihuahua when her mommy had to work off island or over night. We had her at least 2 weeks a month overnight for a year. She was the joy of our lives. She got lots of love and attention from myself and my three kids. She had free run of the livingroom and enclosed porch. She went for 20 minute walks 2x’s per day, weather permitting, and ate 2 meals a day with snacks in between. She was always happy to stay with us. We really miss having a dog around so by us helping you give your pet love and attention, it helps to fill the little void in our hearts. We can’t wait to love your fur baby for you while you are busy. Schedule today! You won’t regret it! I work outside of the home Monday to Friday. Your pet may be home alone for up to 4 hours (I can come home at lunch to let them go potty) The complex I am in has a small dog park so that your pup can have some off leash fun. If your pet doesnt get along well with other dogs we will only go in there when no other animals are present.
About: I fell in love with & have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. The majority of my experience is with dogs and cats but I also have experience with caring for rabbits, cows, and horses. Our pets are our family and will be treated as such with me. I love taking and sharing pics of furbabies! I work from home and will have lots of time to spend with and care for your pet. I’m conveniently located next to Towne Lake in McKinney for peaceful walks. I have an apartment and work from home full time. I’ll be available to take pets on walks as much as needed or just for fun.

“Rue is super sweet and my dogs immediately felt comfortable with her. She asks questions and makes sure to check in and provide updates. I’ll definitely be using her for future trips.”

About: I grew up with a dog. I’ve also dog sat for friends and neighbors throughout high school and college. I have two dogs now that are friendly and love to play. I understand and know that if people choose to have animals and find a sitter, they truly love them as their babies! I’m a teacher and have worked with adults and children for many years. Pets are also our children and they bring us joy and laughter! I always treat other people's pets with respect, love, and kindness - they are part of the family too! I am free in the summer time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I can take them on walks or runs in the neighborhood. They will be very well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who would love to play with your pups! My dogs are crate trained so I can easily crate them if needed. I can easily crate your dog, if needed. I am able to let the dogs out frequently and/or as needed.
About: Hello! 🐾 I’m a true animal lover and would be honored to care for your dog! I’ve had my own dog for over 3 years, and my flexible job allows me to provide plenty of attention, love, playtime, and treats. I also regularly care for my best friend’s dog, who had a stroke and has limited use of one leg. She completely trusts me for extended stays, which has given me experience with dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll treat your pup like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! ❤️🐶 I have a flexible job and work from home fully on Fridays!

About: I've had a small dog of my own since I was little! I've also dog sat for plenty of my friends and even trained my friends puppy to speak with buttons! I've also cared for service dogs before during and outside of working. I consider myself a very attentive and patient sitter and am willing to accommodate whatever needs your dog has! I currently work in part-time and am studying outside of work! I would only dog sit on days I am home and never leave for work. I enjoy studying with furry company and taking breaks with play time! I have reliable transportation to pick dogs up and take them to dog parks! I have a fenced .25 acres backyard with lots of room to play! I have an office that's quiet at night which would be a great place to crate. I plan on caring for pets by playing with the dogs, studying during their wind down or rest time (with lots of petting), and attentively following the feeding schedule with alarms. I'm very keen on locking doors and keeping a tight grip on leashes for safety!

“I don’t know how lucky we got to have Jennie and her husband check in and be there for our pets on our first rover experience because it was exceptional! I don’t know if this is how she handles everyone’s pets but she went above and beyond to make sure our girls were taken care of! The pictures she would take to update us on her visits and what they were doing gave us ease of mind to focus on being present during our trip! Jennie, thank you it truly means the world!”

About: Proud dog mom & experienced pet sitter! 🐾 I’m a proud dog mom to an amazing 4-year-old rescue who I’ve had since she was just 3 months old, so I know the ins and outs of both puppies and adult dogs! I also help care for my family’s German Shepherd whenever I’m back home in Indiana. I work from home and travel for work, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your pets when life gets busy. I’m attentive, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own — whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company. I’d love to meet your pup and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I work remotely from my place, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to spend time with the pups, let them out, take them on walks, and give them lots of attention! I’m happy to stop by as many times as needed to accommodate your pets’ routines and care instructions. I can work with you to create a schedule that ensures your pets receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and love while you’re away. While I don’t stay overnight in clients’ homes, I’m flexible with daytime visits and will do my best to make sure your pups feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! I know how dogs can be, so I always make sure fences/gates/doors are closed and your pets have a safe space to go out or walk!
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals.

I've also pet sat in multi pet households, caring for dogs, cats, and making sure plants and the home are well cared for. I'm comfortable adapting to different animals' personalities, routines, and needs.

About: I think it really is true in our case with the saying "our dogs live better lives than we do!.." Our dogs are special to us and have always felt a kinship with them and I hope they with us. We trained them to listen and obey but also love on them just as much (more, definitely more) to build that great bond. We're Alex and Alayna! We have 2 dogs who lay around the house most days - Gracie who is our 25lb senior dog at 16 and Max is our 50lb Catahoula that loves to chase red dots, rabbits, birds etc. We have a small back yard so when 1 or both of us is home they can freely go in and out as much as they want. And when it rains, we make sure to wipe everyone's paws! We don't want any red paws! We host a whole lot of cousin dogs multiple times a year so very accustom to dog sitting multiple dog for multiple days. Can't wait to meet your babies! I work from home 2 days out of the week and am flexible in my job as needed. My husband works in the office 5 days a week and comes home around 6 to let the dogs out when I cannot. Our dogs are very low maintenance and are able to sleep anywhere they like. We never let them run out of the front door or anywhere not fenced in.

About: I love taking care of dogs and going on walks. It doesn't matter how old your dog is, they're still a puppy and I already love them with my whole heart. I have a 3 year old border collie & a 5 year old Australian cattle dog/Chihuahua mix that keep our home both happy and hairy. I have years of experience with drop in visits, and can make sure your pup is taken care of while you do what you need to do. I've got a lot of love to give your sweet pups! Majority of my drop in flexibility for the time being is going to be before and after work hours. I am a teacher so the initial would be in the morning and then in the evening for dinner/potty I treat every animal like I’ve raised it since it was a baby. I know how anxiety inducing it can be to leave them but also leave them with someone that’s not you or not family, so I exude the love, kindness, and respect that I would hope someone would to my 2 boys.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McKinney
Brooke went above and beyond. We got in a bind the last minute before we were leaving on a trip and Brooke met me the next day before we left to meet our dog and then came to watch him later that night. She did more than just take care of mingo she got mail took in packages and even got our trash from the curb. Brooke is 10/10 and we can’t wait to have her back. And our pup can’t wait either!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in McKinney is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,301 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across McKinney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
